Just popped out for lunch in Shoreditch. Reminded me of this. I think they’re now called “Hispters”.
Scene from the excellent “Nathan Barley” series in which Dan Ashcroft gives a commentary on the rise of the idiot classes. Many people think this rant is the exposition of co-creator Chris Morris’s own feelings on popular culture.
Owls are generally pretty cool but this Southern White-faced Owl is like a final boss in a video game. When he sees potential enemies, he transforms into one of two battle modes.
In the first, he puffs himself up, bugs out his eyes, and squats like some kind of battle tank.
But when he’s facing a really big foe, he stands up straight, squints his eyes, and brings one wing around him like Dracula’s cape.
