Him Name is Hopkin. A blast from the past. Who remembers it? Is it just me, or has it been updated since it first hit the 'Net and was Meme Du Jour? I don't seem to recognize most of the imgs.

I loveeeeed that. Especially hearing more about the story behind the poster. Awww.

There is a tiny little park near here with a plaque on the fence proclaiming the area to be "Hopkin Green". I have felt considerable temptation to minor vandalism.

I once saw a similar poster for a lost parrot. It said 'answers to Bob." I can just imagine "Hey Bob!" "Hey Bob!" "I've been looking for you!" "I've been looking for you!"..and then you have to flap your arms and chase after him.

I sure do remember, and still have the site bookmarked.

Y'know, I guess what it is, is that they've added tons more images. I guess they load randomly too. Wish there were a wiki or About Page somewhere.

I was about to say I liked it better without the new stuff, but I just saw a page from a Hellboy comic. Pretty cool.
