My current avatar is from my freshman high school identification card, when I was 14. Yesterday's avatar was a photo taken last month. Too bad avatars don't stay with the posts you make when they are active! Then, you could have a whole batch of different ones! Oh, well.

Judging from chrestus' high school photograph from the other forum, we could be related. Especially since I was born in Fort Worth, TX.

Mine is my 7 year old, Jamie, dressed for his school's Victorian week. It's either that or Norman Wisdom - my eyesight's not so good these days.

As an archivist I'm sad enough to have a brass paper clip as an avatar. The humble clip is one of the most useful tools my profession has, along with bleached tape, a 2B pencil, acid-free boxes, cotton gloves - no wait, come back, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I think that the lads had better release another album soon, or Truzzi's going to fall off the end.

If we're lucky Jeffie will actually post enough to turn into Colin M, and the band can record in the shed, again.

Not feeling so megalomaniacal anymore and the Harvey tribute seemed long enough, plus, am really looking forward to this month's

My avatar is le petit Spirou! A popular comics character well know in francophone countries.

Ok I'm a comics nut, so those not interested can pass, but for those interested :

First was created the comic strip of a young groom named Spirou, by the belgian cartoonist Robert Vellter, alias Rob-Vel, in the late 30's.


Spirou became a reporter, and an adventurer, always follow by his little squirell Spip.
Then the character was drawn by Jijé from 1943, who added a new character named Fantasio:


Then from 1946, drawn by the grrrreat André Franquin, who, over 22 years, made of Spirou a real comics Hero, with his best friend Fantasio, and add to the duo a strange beast found in the jungle of Palombia, known as the Marsupilami:

Then 6 other authors had continued drawing albums of Spirou and Fantasio. But two of them, Tome and Janry, decided to create a new series, and imagine the adventures of a very young Spirou. Before he became the famous groom… A kid always ready to make jokes or play tricks to his teachers or to the parish priest, to watch girls in the gym showers, or obsessed by the mini-skirts of his maths teacher. A mix of impertinence and naivety. I love him!



OK, OK I stop here.

that was great omnibus.......loved the teacher and the kids playing with fruit.....i'd walk round your exhibition anyday.....merci
