MARSUPILAMI
(Yes, that is a marsupilami, and its not just a marsupilami, it it DA marsupilami. Haha)


Marsupilami!! Its one of those names that keeps popping up in my head from time to time. Like i should know and remember where the word comes from. And after some research, I'm thoroughly convinced that this term resides somewhere in the consciousness of all 22 year olds. In fact, it should reside somewhere in the minds of everyone born after 1984.. haha.

Here's what i scooped off Wikipedia:

Marsupilami is a fictional comic book animal created by Andre Fanquin in 1952. It first appeared in the popular Belgian comic book series called Spirou et Fantasio.
Later, two cartoon shows featuring this character, as well as a Sega Genesis video game and lots of other merchandise followed.
(I think I played the Sega game!! heh)
The name is a portmanteau of the words marsupial, Pilou-Pilou (the French name for Eugene the Jeep, a character Franquin loved as a kid) and ami, the French word for friend.


So.. as everyone can see, DA marsupilami is 100% real and i'm not imagining things.. really.
