Oobleck is colored green according to the inventor of Oobleck, Theodor Geisel. See Dr. Seuss' Bartholomew and the Oobleck (1949).

Regarding the Leviathan (post #4, Takuan), we can assume it is kosher because in Jewish mythology the primordial creature is supposed to be consumed by the righteous (tzaddikim) at the end of days. Given that some of the righteous will probably be Jewish, it pretty much a given its kosher although since the proportions of the creature are cosmically ginormous, the responsibility for shechting (slaughtering) it properly is given over to God.

You can see Charles Cohen play his instrument regularly in Philadelphia. He is an excellent collaborator having played with almost every improvisational jazz and electronic project interested in hooking up with him.

This reminds me of something Japanese noise artist Merzbow wrote about Minazo, the elephant seal who died in 2005 and was the inspiration for the bucket-pining lolrus, as well as a two volume album by Merzbow. This is what Merzbow wrote in his liner notes for Minazo vol.1.

"Minazo was forced to perform various stunts before audience at each mealtime, such as holding a bucket with one flipper, bending back like a prawn, and standing still while a keeper jumped and clung on him. The hard work made him exhausted and might have caused his early death. Many of the aquariums in Japan have become mere amusement establishments."

I recognize Urashima Taro (the Fisherman Taro) riding on the turtle. At the end of the Urashima Taro he opens up a boxed present given to him by the princess of the sea and he ages a hundred or so years. So in the cartoon, Taro opens the box towards the evil Mickey Mouse so that he becomes decrepit instead.
