It was my second visit of the exhibition today, and I forgot my camera once again. I should come a third time…Is this a LAT’s syndrome?
I just want to share with you what could be a “cultural fact”. The exhibition displays several 3D puzzles with some of the famous LAT’s characters. The visitors can play with them and create their own funny characters : one’s head, the second’s body and the third’s legs – I know it would have be easier to visualized with a picture, but it’s a good exercise for your imagination-. Like a child, I like to play with this kind of puzzle, and of course I did my own blend. I realized that soon after, somebody – I guess one of the security guard or one of the guy on duty at the exhibition booth – put back the characters in the proper order – neatly.
Today, I noticed that each puzzle was properly done, and I did not noticed anyone daring to play with. I will hide behind something to find out what does it mean. Is this a lack of creation, of expression, of initiative ??
Any way, I knew about 80 % of the cartoons on display and I’ve laughed to 100% of them. And I am not Malaysian.
Come and have a good time : laugh is good for your health.
Too bad that they dont’ sell any of the Kampung Boy series.
