This is Mr. Magoo. He may look cute, rolled up in a sweet little ball in his favorite spot, but if you look closer you will see the dried snot encrusted in his cat tree. Everywhere this cat goes, snot shall follow. It explodes out of him without warning, whether he be in bed, playing on the floor, or on my shoulders shoving his face into mine, a prime position for sneezing directly into my mouth. When he isn’t shooting mucus onto all of my material possessions, he’s often drooling due to his many missing teeth. When he isn’t drooling, he might be asleep, or he might be pissing on the couch again because he’s scared of the litter box - one can never know.
You can learn more about this wretched creature below the cut, and why I believe he is destined to be tumblr’s next sexyman(c).
This cat is cursed. The things he desires above all else in this world are love, affection, and sitting on human laps. He would probably starve himself to death just to have more lap time, purring away and drooling like a leaky faucet onto your pants. This is what he desires, and yet by god he is the grossest, wettest cat I have ever met. His little body is determined to make him as unappealing to cuddle with as possible. I have gotten a raincoat for the express purpose of making cuddle time easier with mixed results. Even without the drool and snot, I cannot let him sleep in my room because he will piss on the bed directly next to my face. Magoo is cursed to expel liquids at all the worst times, shortening cuddle time and leading to rejection again and again.
Magoo has a dark and troubled past. According to the owner of the shelter where I met him, he comes from a hoarder situation. Magoo had been kept in an uncleaned crate for possibly months, surrounded by his own filth and wracked with infections that had his eyes swollen shut (hence the name). When he was surrendered to the shelter, he needed multiple rounds of medications and surgeries to recover from his health complications, but in the end he did recover. His sneezing problem seems permanent, and he has what I can only call a panic attack every time he pisses or shit, running up and down the stairs like a cat possessed, but he survived.
(and yet he’s fine with passing out right next to the litter box for some reason)
All that said, he is without a doubt one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met. He’s affectionate, loves to ride around on people’s shoulders, purrs like a motorboat, and lets you pick him up and do pretty much whatever you want with him. He loves all humans equally, making instant friends with every person he meets. He’s playful and gets along with other pets. He’d be the perfect cat if not for the uh, problems.
As my sister and I discussed his tragic backstory while he desperately tried to get onto her bed, we came to an important realization: Magoo is truly a sad little meow meow. A pathetic, wet blanket of a man who is very sweet, but altogether too gross to obtain the affection he so deeply craves. An almost-literal drowned cat of a creature (and literal when we tried giving him a bath, the only time I’ve ever seen him angry).
And so, I wanted to share him with you, tumblr. Here is Mr. Magoo, your new tumblr sexyman. I hope you love him as much as I do, because he desperately needs it.

The Animated History of Treasure Island: Mr. Magoo's Treasure Island - 1964
I have been on a journey to watch every animated adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. (Yes, my hyperfixations can be quite unusual). I wanted to share my thoughts and research on them as they were compiled before hopefully making a long video about the entire topic.
So today I'm here to share my thoughts on one of its earliest animated adaptations: Mr. Magoo's Treasure Island from 1964. Read on if that's something you'd enjoy!
Nowadays, it’s easy to dismiss Mr. Magoo as that ableist cartoon making fun of nearsighted people that spawned the worst Leslie Neilson film of all time, one so bad it universally flopped and was even protested by the National Federation of the Blind. But this now maligned character was once a mainstay of animation and television. The original cartoon series won two Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film and its titular character made TV history as the star of the first-ever animated TV Christmas Special — Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol. It would go on to be parodied by The Simpsons and even still aired on television as late as 2014 by The CW. However, in this case, the most important part of the special is how it would lead to the story of Treasure Island’s first full-scale animated adaptation. (The absolute first was Mel-O-Toons: Treasure Island, but we’ll mention it a bit later.)
After the wildly successful original series and television special, United Productions of America decided to have Mr. Magoo star in various other literary adaptations. Thus, The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo came to life in 1964 with Mr. Magoo’s Treasure Island being one of its earliest episodes, a two-parter even.
The shows were played far more straight, ignoring the previous nearsighted jokes outside of their introductory sequences, and were quite realistic. My research says the other episodes were highly realistic and even portrayed a good bit of the violence and deaths within their stories. From my experience with their adaptation of Treasure Island, this rings particularly true. Plenty of characters are straight-up shot and killed as they are in the original novel and Jim Hawkins still fights Isreal to the death as he attempts to reclaim the Hispaniola. For the most part, it’s quite a direct retelling of the original story, but with a few big changes.
First, there are some characters that are completely omitted including Jim’s mother, John Trelawney, and “Blind” Pew, the latter of which is a particular relief considering the source material. I’d even hazard a guess that he was avoided entirely to not make any confusing associations with who the true “main character” was in the show.
The biggest departure from the book that is absolutely worth focusing on is how the story ends as it likely doesn’t align with your memories of watching adaptations of the story over the years. For those who don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of Treasure Island as I now do, I shall quote the book directly:
"Ben Gunn was on deck alone, and as soon as we came on board he began, with wonderful contortions, to make us a confession, Silver was gone. The maroon has connived at his escape in a shore boat some hours ago and he now assured us he had only done so to preserve our lives, which would certainly have been forfeited if "that man with the one leg had stayed aboard." But this was not all. The sea-cook had not gone empty-handed. He had cut through a bulkhead unobserved, and had removed one of the sacks of coin, worth, perhaps, three or four hundred guineas, to help him on his way further wanderings.
I think we were all pleased to be so cheaply quit of him."
Mr. Magoo started at least one more historic trend with this series — they have Jim Hawkins set Long John Silver free. It makes sense as Jim is the only one with a relationship, however strained, with the pirate menace that might incline him to help the old sea dog avoid the gallows. Still, these were the first storytellers that decided Jim’s relationship with Long John was so important to the story, that he must have a conflicted moment where he sets his previous tormenter free.
In the first-ever animated adaptation of the tale, Mel-O-Toons: Treasure Island, decided to leave the end particularly nebulous as to what happened to Long John in the end. While Mr. Magoo’s 2019 animated series is so obscure most don’t know it exists, this choice made for Mr. Magoo’s Treasure Island is one that would echo out through the decades.
If this piqued your interest, my next Treasure Island-related post will be on Osamu Tezuka's adaptation — Shin Takarajima (A New Treasure Island). Thanks for reading, and let me know if you enjoyed learning about such a niche topic!
