The plug was pulled on posting to the Bonzer! web-site 0n February 13th. ... and, a week later it had disappeared from the active web-o-sphere altogether.
I understand all of its issues from 2001 to 2013 have been archived with the National Library of Australia, but that will only serve to quench the nostalgia of those for whom it was a focal point of daily life. However, its creative interactive heart is stilled forever. Instead, it joins the dinosaurs and other extinct fauna, flora and/or mechanisms which coloured our passed world ... only to now rest as in-animate museum exhibits.
How long since you last visited a museum?
Today's cartoon is a sample from the small quantity of stuff I contributed to Bonzer! while it was vibrant and (I thought) looked as if it would go on forever. As the pop song said - "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone ...". This little 'toon was requested to add some colour to the Book Review section of the 'e-zine' back in July 2011. No doubt it now gathers virtual dust somewhere in the bowels of NLA(?)
