this is definitely a solution in search of a problem (that doesn't exist)
But it's cute. If they released a brightly colored version, there might be a market for it (in Asian cities).
I can't tell if it had foot pegs, or if the girl was just holding her legs up...
Might also be difficult to drive in high cross-winds (common on bridges), so would be good to see a "donut hole" in the middle.

Imagine my surprise when I got an email saying this had been promoted! What prompted it deathcow?

Damn, not to kick a gifthorse in the face, but I wish this old black and white version could be replaced with the color version. It looks and sounds a LOT better! Seriously.

This is the color version of this one.

I own both original 1973 version and the late 2000 re-colored version. Brilliant series.

Here's a shoddy vectorized, colorized version of your nice drawing (with a hint of a little homoerotic humor sprinkled in):



I've always loved to draw, but I don't really have anything on the computer as I haven't actually done much drawing in years (except for the stuff I've been doing for Tee Virus lately).

I'm very excited this tech is finally taking off. It's not quite to the point where I'd shell out $500 for one, but it's not far off.

Perhaps if the color version has good resolution and paper-like appearance, I'll jump in then.

Indeed:) great, look forward to your dark VS-CSS!

Thanks for all your kind words

Has the Sift been covered in some Antarctic police crime tape or what?

What makes you jump to that conclusion, sir? Where were you when the penguin murder was committed?


>> ^CaptainPlanet420:
Will it work if I want to remove all the unnecessary bloat on VS...e.g. like 6 of the tabs at the top????????????

Yes, you can use Stylish to hide any number of the top tabs.

I'm making some different colored versions of this right now and one will be dark/black if that's what you mean.

Much better! No but really, it is. I left a comment on your video on why colorized cartoons in particular are crappy.

Big thumbs up to classic Fleischer animation. Big thumbs down to colorization.

Such a great game. I played the 4-color version (white black cyan magenta).
But what fun is it if no one gets chopped?

Clip from the 1995 colorized version of the 1962 war film epic The Longest Day produced by Daryl F Zanuck, featuring an early appearance from a young Sean Connery, right before the success of Dr. No, also features Kenneth More.

* During the filming of the landings at Omaha Beach, the American soldiers appearing as extras didn't want to jump off the landing craft into the water because they thought it would be too cold. Robert Mitchum, who played General Norm Cota, finally got disgusted with them and jumped in first, at which point the soldiers had no choice but to follow his example.

* The Rupert paradummies used in the film were far more elaborate and lifelike than those actually used for the decoy parachute drop (Operation Titanic) which were actually just canvas or burlap sacks filled with sand. In the real operation six Special Air Service soldiers jumped with the dummies and played recordings of loud battle noises to distract the Germans.

* At $10,000,000, this film was the most expensive black-and-white film made until 1993, when Schindler's List was released. (Source: Turner Classic Movies).

* The bagpiper is the same person who participated in the real assault on D-Day.
