Carl and Kate said he reminded them of an Atherton Lin character. It's lovely to know, because we never reveal our characters' faces, people have their own face types in mind. I see Atherton Lin kids all the time. Sometimes it's the hat or the walk, but sometimes it's a face. Sometimes, a face will really surprise me as to how much it fits my imaginary world.
The characters, originally invented as an homage to Peanuts, are barely visible in the 2012 calendar. But we hope you feel their presence. We could never decide how to draw their faces, so we decided to hide them. Now they're hidden even a bit more, and the world we have created has to do with a perspective and a point of view.
The song gets more beautiful the more you play it. Zoo Kid is reminding me of Slits, early Specials or Clash and a bit of Billy Bragg, and it's exactly what I want to hear right now.
And here, a man who really knew how to draw a face.
