In early 2002, I found this poster stuck on a local CentreLink building in Adelaide:

I have just found this picture on Anapan's ftp server:

Obviously, the poster was made from the second colour picture, but colour picture appears to be a thumbnail. Does anyone know where I can find the full-sized colour version?


Off-topic edit: We just had a cold front move through. It's the first time I've ever seen the sun shining during a hail storm. :wacko:

I just found this while I went through an Astroboy Google session:

Unfortunately it's all written in french :( , but I'm sure Fafner will translate it for you.
(If he likes to, of course ;) )
Apparently the artist's name is Steve Skroce.

Thanks! B)

Colosso was basically Frankenstein in the 60s series, and he stole Astro's parents (although it was Atlas who stole Astro's parents in the 80s series).

Sympa could probably be translated as Pathos, meaning "the power of invoking tender emotions". But it's an oldish word and there really isn't a modern day equivalent. We have derived from it the adjective Pathetic, which now means means "distressingly inadequate".
Sympathetic is good enough, implying a sharing of emotion.

According to http://www.dictionary.com , "pathos" is nearer to "compassion" than "sympathetic". At least, that's how I feel it :unsure:

Well... as you said, it is good enough even it it doesn't exactly fit the context ;)
Shall we create a new topic "French language" next to "Nihongo language" ? :P
