Optimuscrime Toronto would have you believe that Elliot, Team Willow's loveable little furball has lost his touch. They'd like you to believe that he no longer is in control of his own body, that his cuteness has somehow been... decreased. They couldn't be more wrong. Yes, the little guy made a mistake. A sizeable mistake. But are we going to hold that against him for the rest of his life? Are we going to allow one small slipup to cloud our minds, and close our eyes to the bottomless bag of cuteness that is Elliot J. Willow? Hardly.

If Toronto wants a cute on cute battle, then Toronto better be fucking ready. They've got a kitten in a sink. That's great. It's cute, it's fresh, it's current. I like it a lot. But does it beat kitten in a frying pan? [see above] I highly doubt it. Before Toronto goes shooting off about Elliot not having what it takes, they may like to take a look at a few important facts:

A. In the stripey tail department, Elliot seems to have the upperhand.
B. We're not saying Dora's not cute, but where's her red bandana?
C. Sink vs. Frying Pan. It's an age-old question, with an age-old answer: Frying Pan.
D. Facial Hair. Readers may want to take a close look at Elliot's chin. Beard? Check.

Curmudgeonly? We beg to differ! Fact is, the little guy's never been cuter! Fact is, if anything, he's on a skytrain to Cute fucking Headquarters for the annual Cute Summit. He's presenting! So if Toronto is looking for a Cute-a-thon, then they're on! Elliot's like the kitten version of perpetual motion, he just keeps building steam!

And so, to up the stakes just a tad, we present to you, loyal readers: Kitten in a vest!
