I guess it's good for the kids, but I like the creepy puppets better. Thanks to first time commenter and great name haver Nat Bumppo for hepping me to the hideous jive of that reboot.<br /><br />I also had to go and look up Carl Larsson. Wowzers! His stuff is positively jewel-like in its brightness and clarity. Thanks, Jim! These old children's books do have some great illustrations, like that wooded landscape in the camping post. There's more on the way like that one. Let me know if you want me to email you a 6k x 4k pixel version of that piece. I can dropbox link you if you're keen.<br /><br />Mat, I'm glad you're a job creator, and not a ragamuffin of any variety. Ask your Indian if he's the regular kind or the Hyderabad kind (hereafter called a "native American, just to keep things clear.)<br /><br />The massive commentariat response to this post is no deterrent from subsequent exposees of this kind. Expect more from these ancient kid training manuals.<br /><br />[-Mgmt.]PhilAreGo@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719815455502184849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-78376236078162444342015-03-20T06:41:08.761-05:002015-03-20T06:41:08.761-05:00"It's much better than the new CGI Thunde..."It's much better than the new CGI Thunderbirds reboot" is now my official reply to any request for my opinion.
