Pon & Zi

Besides my super cute Lilo & Stitch, aku addict dgn satu lagi cartoon - Pon And Zi. Pada aku, dorang nih sangat cute and sweet. Eventho cartoon nih lebih kepada emo but who cares?! Tak salah pon dak nerd macam aku nak suka. As long as I'm happy. huhuhu

Pon is the really sweet character who would do anything for Zi. Zi is the person Pon loves and they are more practical.
They are adorable little comic characters, and are always different colors.
Pon and Zi are characters in an ongoing illustration series. They were originally created by artist Jeff Thomas (also known by his deviantART(c) username "Azuzephre") during his "antisocial phase" in highschool.
In his own words:
"I first started drawing Pon and Zi in 2004. I was an angsty, antisocial junior in high school, and the violent themes of the first comics reflected my disconnect from people.
I started dating in December of that year, and as I became less bitter and more cuddly, so did the comics. Originally gray and nameless, Pon and Zi were named and given colors along with different personalities. Pon, colored yellow, is usually the optimistic instigator, and Zi, colored blue, retains some of the disconnect and apathy found in the first comics. Neither is assigned a gender because I think that each of their personalities could be identified by either male or female readers, depending on the comic and dynamics of the relationship the reader is involved in." (from
azuzephre.net)
Pon and Zi are products of an "Emo" style of art; using darker color paletes and almost despairingly sentimental content. They became an internet hit off of his deviantART(c) page and can be seen as popular backgrounds in internet communities and sundries in image programs.
Nearly all of the original Pon and Zi artwork can be seen on the artist's website
azuzephre.net or the unofficial Pon and Zi fanpage ponandzi.com
In fact, you've probably already seen them. The image of the little yellow character telling an unassuming flower "You should meet my girlfriend, she could teach you how to be pretty." is classic Pon.
