Tony displays a picture of an apparently empty jungle scene, and then reveals the hidden tiger. He draws a watercolour picture of two logs floating in a river, and then reveals that one of the logs is actually a crocodile.

Margot makes a pretend computer, using some card and acetate sheets.

Margot plays some animated computer graphics, which were created using MacPaint on an Apple Macintosh 128K computer.

Finally, Tony goes walking in the countryside, and collects a piece of burnt tree bark and a piece of flint stone. Back in the studio, he draws a picture of the bark, using a black permanent marker pen, candle wax and black ink. He then draws a watercolour picture of the flint stone. (He also tells a short anecdote about Frank Hampson, the artist who illustrated the Dan Dare stories in the Eagle comic.)

What with the horrendous prices of computers back in those days, it would have taken a lot of work to afford one. Anyway considering Margot's computer didn't have too many less bytes of ram than a real one back then and that it didn't use any electricity....I gotta disagree with ya there ;-)

Margo's computer looked like a lot of work...I prefer the real thing..:)
