h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ashley Darling,


Lovely article on how to make you very own lovable clay Pingu. But it does ask a few questions in my head...

a) How many of the little darlings have you got lying around? The way you wrote it was as if you have performed the process hundreds of times. Is this a mini-business that none of us knew about previously?

b) How desperately did you feel that Pingu should be made in clay? Why not Thomas the Tank Engine? Morph was a far nicer creation, though the way that Pingu runs around is rather sweet...

c) How much did they pay you? Or what was the secret you were desperate to keep under wraps?



Great article though hon. Mind you, I cant wait for the follow up. Pingu out of Papier Mache...

Hey Ashley,

I'm your subeditor for the Pingu entry, so I'm the one with the great job of reading through the thing (was I being sarcastic? I don't know). I've created a thread at the entry which I'll use to document any changes that I have to make.

Thanks,
Axe
