Basil is cute! Is he perchance well-known in your part of the world?

Basil is a star! Most Brits know him, as he's been on TV since the early '60s (possibly longer). He used to have a Saturday evening family show, but is now relegated to children's TV.

He had a bit of a makeover a few years ago to make him a bit more soft and cuddly, but I prefer the original version. Here's a side-by-side comparison:



Wikipedia describes him as a "fictional anthropomorphic fox raconteur":

Okay, in that second picture he just looks rabid. Please make them stop this.

He's not rabid, just happy!

Well, Google brought up about 3,440 results in 0.20 seconds, but they all seem to refer to Basil Brush. (Although I stopped after the first thousand or so hits.)

Well, we've all enjoyed a chuckle, but back to the path.

Nicely done, indeed!
