My Cardboard Life is an adorable web comic with a lot of texture.
Link is to today's comic directly because the home page has a kind of spoiler. Home page. First strip.

Haha, "knits". Puntastic. Although there is a strange element of racism in that strip.

Creator's blog.
These are wonderful. I added them to my "papercraft" bookmarks folder.
I didn't notice anything racist, so I guess if you're going to say something like that you should cite it.

No, that would only be if they'd used the term "knitters".

Since the creator works a lot with texture to make a joke, there does seem to be some that play with the concept of skin, and possibly complexion.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it racist, but I can see where EndsOfInvention's coming from.
But yes, very inventive stuff.

The humor and simple sardonic cuteness reminds me of kawaiinot!
