k'foops

This is in Smiths Weekly for 14 November 1925 p. 13, I found it while i was looking for something else. I'm sharing it with you only because of K'foops. I seem to recall my grandmother talking about K'foops only I am sure she said it, or spelled it, or I perceived it (this last definitely true) as Kerfoops. It's just a name of a random person who matters to no-one, like 'Fred Nerk'. People used to, I guess, think this kind of thing was cool or something? Pretty hard to imagine. Anyway, I wonder where it came from, and whether it's making a comeback, it probably is. 

How sinister is that fourth frame though. K'foops is a devil. 

merri creek this morning

This morning we went on a short walk at Merri Creek and Perry chose to go down here, which was an unmade road called I forget what. Maybe Merri Boulevard? I thought maybe there was an interesting project in unmade roads. Making a note of it now. 

Perry met, and really liked, this dog. He went back later to meet the dog a second time.

You know at the time I thought that water looked pretty nice but looking at it in this picture I'm kind of like no it's not.

I have to say if I was Piggy I'd be a little disgruntled about being the butt of everything and indeed so often the star character but my name's not in the strip and the ostensible protagonists don't do much except look on with their mouths open as I do staggeringly jackass feats. On the other hand he's obviously a bit of a dick.

heating up

I had a very interesting talk this morning in Thornbury with a tv production designer whose name I won't mention here but who gave me a lot of great insight into the way tv shows are conceived. I then had a bit of a walk to try and get out of Thornbury and to the SLV. It's heating up. It's that time of the year where I had to keep switching between my sunglasses and my ordinary glasses. Even with the sunglasses sometimes it was too bright to really see. Also, jumper on, jumper off. It's a big hassling drag. But they say it's going to be hotter this summer than anyone now living can recall. So that's not good.

From what I understand, Kieku ja Kaiku typically had a moral of sorts in the end, with a philosophical universal truth in it. This doesn't have one of those, I'm going to say.
