Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery *

An isopic ode to the recently departed Ed. Devereaux. He played Matt Hammond (the dad every one wished their dad was like) in the 1960s Australian TV series "Skippy" (the Bush Kangaroo). A lot of us grew up watching skippy's hand, or at least a backscratcher with kangaroo paw attached, doing lots of intricate movements like turning on light switches.

This cracks me up! I grew up watching Skippy on TV. This could be direct from the show except it's in colour and I only saw Skippy in black and white.
Great shot, Neil!

Excellent and quite surprising to see another take on the switch theme in a challenge such as this.

Got my LOL award!!!

* it would look spot on with the blue wall being redone so it shows no noise or marks at all. That would make it a true "isopic"
