Kumbaya

I originally intended to decorate this place with pictures and stuff about eek! the cat: one of my favorite cartoons during my youth. This place still looks like its the website of a mortuary, but i figured i could give you some information on this beloved blue-tongued feline. You can check for more stuff about eek at this site: http://eekthecat.8m.com/

For now, you can read this:
Eek lives in the town of McTropolis. Eek is the most caring individual one can imagine. He has a big heart. He loves everyone but he hates bugs. He always puts others safety, needs and comfort before his own. He always says, "It never hurts to help!" but he is usually proven wrong in the physical sense. Eek often uses the word "kumbaya" as an exclaimatory word in many situations. The word "kumbaya" comes from the West Indies "pidgin-English" word for "come by here" and is a well-known folk song which in turn came from the original Afro-American gospel song, "Come By Here, Lord". In the episode "Mountain Groan" the song is sung near the end of the show by the campers sitting around the campfire.

It is interesting to note that Eek can talk with all animals and most humans but cannot converse with those in his immediate household, i.e., Mom, Wendy Elizabeth and J.B.Mom does a lot of house cleaning and is a student of foreign languages, especially Spangalese. She is apparently a single mom.

Wendy Elizabeth and J.B. are the children. They are normal kids -- whiney and spoiled. They watch a lot of television. Their favorite show is The Squishy Bearz Rainbow of Enchanted Fun Minute.In one episode (Eek's Funny Thing That He Does), Wendy Elizabeth calls her brother Johnny Braincloud. Could this really be what "J.B." stands for or is Wendy Elizabeth just being funny?
