A visit from Kate: The Penguins Who Make the Cigarettes

Things that I find unsettling here:

• the way the penguins are constantly shifting scale relative to the Kools
• the conceit that tobacco leaves are individuals with personalities and backstories, some of which get discarded as unproductive members of the symbiotic penguin/tobacco leaf society.  Where do they go?  How do they make a living?  
• Also the penguins' crazy "I'm a factory drone/I'm high as fuck" googly eyes.  

But it's such a relief to have the cigarette making process demystified that I can forgive all that.
