Engrish.com Saying as a Little Golden Book Illustration

Illustration by spacesick on Flickr

Illustrator and animator Mitch Ansara, better known as spacesick, drew this sweet illustration of a bear eating a hamburger hamberger in the style of a Little Golden Book based on this non-sensical t-shirt featured at Engrish.com that says, "Hamberger friend / I feel happiness When I eat a him." Check out more of his art at his Flickr or blog. [via yoshang]

I'm guessing this is the bedtime story that Billy Ray read to Miley Cyrus when she was little.

"Engrish" is not racist?

@Tokyorosa -- In my opinion, no. It's a collection of humorous linguistic mistakes made by non-native speakers of English. There's no explicit or implied value judgement about race.

"While the term mocks the accent, it is used mainly without malice in reference to humorous misuses, puns, double entendres, and unintentional word substitutions within written English, not difficulties in pronunciation." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engrish

Ehehe. Thanks so much for the mention, Robyn, and the Engrish lesson, Tim! :D

It should also be noted that this was a silly guest appearance for my friend Mz. Kat's cutedorable Engrish.com children's book illustration series. Check it out if you like this, because she needs a kick in the pants to make more!
