Happy New Year, dear.
“Oh! The New Year already.”
I’ve got me hat on. Are we doing some animating now?
“Er, yes, Mum. I’ve been working on it.”
What do you mean? You haven’t taken a photo of me for ages. What are you playing at?

It's never too late to learn to animate

I mean, you didn’t have many boyfriends did you dear. I think you could have made a bit more of yourself with your clothes. Always black. Always dressed in black. Black this… Black that. You should wear brighter colours, I think.
“I’m wearing an orange jumper.”
Yes. But that’s just plasticine, isn’t it.

If you really want to make a cartoon about love … I don’t think you are an expert, dear.
You didn’t exactly have lots of boyfriends… not like me, I mean.

“I appreciate your suggestion, Mum, but I don’t want to cartoon a cat. I’ve been thinking that I would like to do a cartoon about…..”
“….. Love.”

….I don’t know why you won’t make a cartoon about a cat. Do you remember we’d go to the pictures and Smutty would be waiting for us outside the cinema when we came out?
“I don’t remember … I think I was too young. I do remember him liking to sit on the white line in the middle of the road, though.”
“But Mum … I’m still not making a cartoon about a cat.”
