Brown Boobook – Owls in Towels https://owlsintowels.org/ Mon, 08 Dec 2025 12:28:31 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 https://owlsintowels.org/content/media/tBNh7to.png Brown Boobook – Owls in Towels https://owlsintowels.org/ 32 32 Life Imitates Art https://owlsintowels.org/life-imitates-art/ https://owlsintowels.org/life-imitates-art/#respond Sun, 07 Dec 2025 23:00:00 +0000 https://owlsintowels.org/?p=2717 A Boobook with brown feathers and lustrous yellow eyes is wrapped in a vanilla towel. Draped behind is a grey blanket featuring the face of the titular character from My Neighbor Totoro, the 1988 animated film by Studio Ghibli. The owl's eyes are wide and ever-so-slightly divergent in focus, almost perfectly matching the character behind.

A Brown Boobook admitted for injuries from a window collision is burrito-wrapped in a towel (with an expression vaguely reminiscent of a certain Studio Ghibli character…)

Original caption in Korean:

선생님.. 그 녀석은 가짜에요…

펼친 담요와 꽤나 비슷한 얼굴을 하고 있는 솔부엉이 입니다 😅

Which roughly translates to:

“Hey, that’s an imposter…

A brown owl with a face that looks quite similar to the one on the blanket 😅”
