# Seriously
I've been trying to find out where that old man came from for ages, how did that bandwagon even start?

# hes been on the internets for years
i think it was from ratemytramp.com or something like that

# It was a random find by JPG (I can't remember his full username, let alone spell it)
And so, a small bandwagon was formed.

# this was my first scrolling background


Made it much too hard on myself for my first go, and of course can't get a decently optimised version... but it was fun doing the background...

it took ages - i mean months! - and the animation aspect is really poor, i got a bit bored of it by that stage...

Larger but still badly-optimised version here
