from what follows ... thus will need patching-up

Yeah. Some of the escape codes made it through, but it gets garbled
after a while. The guy throws the boomerang and then when it starts
to return there's a mess. (I suspect there's supposed to be a messy
end, but NOT three boomerangs at once.)

I think I fixed it. I suspect what got stripped was trailing white
space, not control characters. Extra spaces are an easy way to erase
things, after all. I also added a clear screen / cursor hide at the top
and then a cursor unhide at the end.

I checked it in to my collection of Vt100 animations and viewer:

The raw fixed animation is here:

First one I have credited to him. Plays well at 2400 baud (with my tool:
"slowcat -b 2400 boomer.vt")

and it had nothing to do with baby boomers or explosions

yes its garbled in the last two frames due a whitespace issue

Okay, thanks. I've corrected the version on Github.
