Gojimothy, a raccoon with short spine syndrome, on a rain-slick Seattle street at night

Seattle · 2:47 AM · Still awake

Gojimothy

Born with short spine syndrome — a rare congenital condition that gave him a stubby, hunched frame and an unmistakable waddle. He tipped over a bin outside Pike Place and became a city legend. Now he has a brand, a merch table, and rent to pay.

Three ways this raccoon earns

Cartooned from the night-shift sightings. Same stubby frame, same bandit mask, same complete lack of remorse.
