Though it was hard to see what some of the critters were. I could have
used a magnified version.

The ants and the birds were just single pixels, so you wouldn't have benefited much from magnification...but the movements of the "birds" were very bird-like, I thought. I liked the second cave-bear that emerged to hold up a fish in triumph.

bobel...@gmail.com explained on 4/26/2013 :

I wasn't thinking of simple magnification, but more like the sort of
thing where "camera-ready" artwork is much bigger than the printed
image; or perhaps, put down the 35mm prints to get a movie clip from
the original 70mm.

My only chance at venison here is a couple of roads they might cross.
That would be "mangle-fied venison".

I have a mangle, actually. Well, it's not an _actual_ Mangle, it's
some Euro-version. (Not to be confused with Euro-venison).

I thought that _was_ the Euro-version, and that the US version was a
"mangel".

Oh, man! It can *never* be too long to Eurovision (I must confess to
liking one or two of their entire corpus)
