Girl in blue background; yellow sun; girl in purple background; red clouds; hot sun over city; woman in red background.

Cartoon with the title "The Annapoorna of Flat 808" depicting a man in a red hoodie rolling a crate into a gated community followed by laborers carrying other boxes, with residents looking on
Mohan's company sends him to India to test a robo-kitchen on the gated community he's been running from all his life. Now, he must confront caste, class, & gender for the first time, getting everyone to "never cook again!" to save his job, visa and the life he's built for himself #A #SF #2025pit

Odd the Inventor is a messy little monster with some serious skills! In this illustration, he is in his workshop, building a "thunkamajig" (a thingamajig that sometimes goes thunk, a thunkamajig is made from junk!). His best friend and assistant Cheese the rat watches from a safe distance. Odd himself has brown fur, amber eyes, and 2 crinkly horns atop his head. He wears a green vest, cream shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and gray trousers, all of which are covered in dirt and stains.
Odd’s a messy inventor w/ #ADHD quirks—hyper focused yet scatter-brained—who can turn junk into wondrous thunkamajigs. When others dismiss his offbeat creations, he must find the courage to embrace his uniqueness, and prove that being a little “odd” is a beautiful thing.
