Chad - wot no bananas
Following on from my previous post Wot no hangover I did a quick google for images of chad. I got lots of blokes called Chad and some maps of the sub-Saharan country but none of the WWII character. So here he is: "WOT NO BANANAS?!"
That takes me back! Those things were everywhere when I was a kid... Sometimes the hair was actually rendered as a "?", and the fingers usually had tops. Does anyone know the genesis of Chad?
Hi Chris, "... Sometimes the hair was actually rendered as a "?", and the fingers usually had tops."
Indeed, I agree! I would add that I recall the eyes being marked with a "+" and a "-" respectively. And the wall was in the shape of a brick wall... Ah, those were the days... Zeev Raphael, Haifa e-mail: zeevraAaerodyne.technion.ac.il
