Can I just say that I hate Babar? A pining for French colonialism, an undercurrent of racism, those poor anthropomorphized pachyderms — I’m not sure what he’d bring to a conversation about modern Hindu theology, but I’m very curious.

And, if we’re including loathsome cartoon characters, how about Curious George with his racist captivity narrative? Maybe George gets curious about the Kabbalah, or something.

Provocative (and very funny) morning coffee reading, thanks.
