Aah, thought so.
If you drew a couple of antlers on it you would have 'kangaroo of the glen,
Or with a moustache it would be 'the laughing kangaroo'0 -
you have some interesting thoughts, i like it, if you painted it white and put feathers on it and a black beak with long black legs and web feet you could call it an ugly duckling :idea:0

I think the dingo looks a bit foxish and the kangaroo has a bloody mouse' head for god's sake :shock:
Did he go more off descriptions of the animals rather than actual sightings? If my lad had painted them they'd be in a cupboard, at best.0 -
But is it art? :roll:0

I think the story is that Stubbs didn't go on the trip and the artist died. As he had never seen these beasts they were painted from a sketch and a skin which was inflated. Probably did a fair job in the circumstances..0

And if it wasn't for Paul Simon he'd have been nothing!0
