Leaping off the doghouse has a bit of a reference to snoopy and his doghouse Sopwith camel and I used to spend a lot of time reading comics and cartoon books. The idea of flying obviously has lots of adherents. This picture is sort of a �Leonardo �device. I�m sure we all have played with the idea of making some sort of wings and just giving it a go. I note the birdman contests around the place and while I admire the ideas I feel I am a touch too heavy and �.fragile.. to really give it a good go now
