I've always wondered if they were edible.

Alan Turner makes Pikachus out of cheese. And eats them.

What in Sam Hill is "domestic swiss cheese" (I assume he's American)?
Or, more to the point, what would be Swiss about a cheese made in America, with American milk, American bacteria cultures and geared toward Amercian tastes?
Slight derail, but I find the idea of making cheese molded in the image of a Japanese cartoon critter ever so slightly nauseating, so I'd better not think about that aspect too much.

It's probably made with non-American bacteria cultures, to give it a taste reminiscent of something like Emmentaler. Also, it has holes. That's the important part.

i prefer to think of them as cats, tiny little cats made of creamy cultured goodness.

Why hasn't he stuck eyes on it???? I suggest poppy seeds or maybe chopped up black olive.

Swiss is a kind of cheese. Just like there exists various types of Cheddar, such as New York, Wisconsin and Vermont, Irish... none of which are made in Somerset.

Nobody's interested in his little notice?

If you would like to try this at home, e-mail me . . . I have an extra Character Creator machine.

I sense smell a new Project.

Oh, god, if my kids see this they'll never want to eat anything else. My five year old would exist on cheese and cheese alone if left to his own devices.

I suddenly have this image of the Pla-doh barbershop set I had as a kid, but all the hair is made of CHEESE!

This would go absolutely great with some freshly squeezed kitten juice.

Anyone with a kid who plays with Play Dough has been down this road before. I just didn't make a website about it.

But the Pikachu did come out pretty well.
