Used here for years to sell t-shirts and singlets (sleeveless t-shirts?), perhaps also (not 100% sure) based on a generic Australian surf life saver - recently re-released with a scary computer-animated gimp-like clone that IMHO failed to capture the 50s 'cheeze' of the original. Kinda like what happened to Godzilla. Make the head a bit more 'human', with curly blond hair, and a dopey great grin, and you'd be in copyright infringement territory! A sure sign you're on the right track. Alex 4.0 > Here's my first attempt at some ASCII art while I had some spare time.
