When you need an indication of scale and a a TicTac packet is too small.

Honda Today, 'Nikon' yellow, enhancements by Spanko/Matt Campbell.
Proven photographic accessory in Cchch conditions. -
The bottom of the barrel of the Flintstones/Jetsons franchise. Died after one crappily-drawn season, sparing the world from possible further knock-offs such as The French Letters, who would likely have lived in a condominium. -
Hard News: Te Rerenga Wairua, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
I see a Ken Sparks in the credits and I’m assuming it’s ‘our’ Ken who did such fine work on When A City Falls more recently…
It certainly is, hi Ken. The old building in Federal Street was The Schoolhouse, now subsumed by the casino. Film editors Pat Monaghan & Ken Sparks were right next door. Because animation’s made one frame at a time, ideally nothing should wind up on the proverbial cutting room floor. With that film it did, and the editorial splices were all to the good. Thanks Ken, though it was so long ago I wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t recall the details.
I’m gratified that people seem to like the film, especially after all this time. Because different artists were given stylistic freedom within a story, it’s kind of visually all over the place. Sometimes I sensed that people were being kind when they’d say “I’ve never seen that style animated before”.
I’d better stop now, though there are people whose involvement I’d like to say more about. While I’m credited as director it certainly wasn’t a personal film, and left to my own devices I’d never have been cheeky or possibly crazy enough to attempt that story.

Hard News: Nobody wanted #EQNZ for Christmas, in reply to Russell Brown,
Strange days Russell, I came in to see if people were OK. Looks like fate has shaken out more than I’d expected. Really appreciate your kind words and effort there. Will try to post something sensible on that topic.
Now, is Ian D. OK? Ian?

I haven’t seen the sunrise in so long I had to look up when it is, or was
There was a dawn rainbow here in Chchch a while back. I know because someone took a nice shot of it.
"I looked up, I thought, f*ck me, so I grabbed my camera."
Save the poetry for the picture. -
OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Sacha,
stupidity like his all sounds the same after a while
Having made it about 25% of the way through a book of Jeremy Clarkson's newspaper columns I have to agree. If that prick (for such he indisputably is) communicated something of the fun he supposedly experiences from playing with the wealth of toys at his disposal he'd be tolerable. Instead it's an endless exercise in petulant griping, leavened with schoolboy swagger.
I'm told that there's a motoring correspondent in these parts who's a thoroughly decent human being, but the stereotype is pretty much masculine inadequacy on wheels.
