...what's a dad to do??? *S*

It's become one of our best sellers and never ceases to amaze people
with how well it flies.

*S* yep... my son (Joseph) comes up to me one day and shoves that
cartoon into my lap and exclaims "I'll bet you can't make THAT fly!"

Nice job Jim, I remember seeing it at NARMA and seeing it fly perfectly. I had
not seen the cartoon, or at least if I had i'd not remembered it.

Here's an interesting idea. Send Gary Larson one of the kits, along with a pic
of the model boosting straight and a copy of his cartoon to refresh his memory.
Would be interesting if you got a reply back from him about it, or maybe even a
mention in some future book/interview.

Well, this assumes that a fun-sucking agent didn't jump in and ask for
royalties. Damn. And this sounded like such a good idea 3 minutes ago.

OK, maybe not send him a kit. Just a proof of flight pic of the model that you
built, and the cartoon. No mention of kits......

I think that's a great idea.  Gary Larson has (had?) an exhibit of some of
his science-related cartoons at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden
Gate Park.  I assume he contributes money.  At least he contributes a
cartoon for the "Race for the Far Side" yearly run T-shirt each year, which
is a major fund-raiser.  You can probably contact him through the museum...

who know!  I know that one of the production folks doing that WB toon
"back in action" or "back from the past" (something like that) bought
one so that he could put it on his desk just to get a reaction from the
others involved with the movie.  what a hoot! LOL

BTW, I saw in Slashdot that someone has developed plans for hacking a
Billy Bass Bigmouth. How long before someone fits it with engines and
flies it?
