I think I've touched on this before, but as a kid I was never into comic books, such as Tintin, Asterix etc. I would read the odd weekly comic such as 'Buster', or nick my brother's copy of 2000AD, but as for books I preferred them to be the kind without pictures. There was however an exception to this rule- any adventure book that contained maps and charts (preferably with handwritten annotations and dotted lines showing perilous routes) was a winner as far as I was concerned.
This brings me to this latest cartoon (a rejected one, sadly) based on my favourite series of books from my childhood.
No wonder it was rejected- look at the length of that caption! Also, it relies on people knowing the Swallows and Amazons series of books, and one line in particular.I'm not going to explain it if you don't already know- buy the book, and transport yourself back to an age of innocence and freedom now sadly lost forever.
As soon as I get around to reading the book, I shall come back and look up this cartoon. I do hope it's funny :)
ReplyDeleteIt's not the sort of book for developers- there are no wizards or warlocks
