No time to write much today; pinball league ran late and stuff kept me busy last night. In the meanwhile please consider reading What's Going On In Alley Oop? Is Alley Oop still a flashback? August - November 2024 and catching up on that. Now for a couple of Pinball At The Zoo picture:

Oh hey, looks like something's happening over in Classics.

Yup, they've got the four trophy finishers, getting their photos taken by people with phones and someone with a real camera who's only processing the picture today.

Here's Joe the Gorilla, the unexplained mascot. Finally a not-awful picture, thanks to this ``flash'' thing some cameras have. Ever hear of it?

I'm not sure about the flash thing, really. Seems kind of gimmicky when you could just fix it in post instead. Also I don't know where I get the idea his name is Joe from. As you can see, there's no nametag here.

Oh now, here's a coin-op game of the whack-a-mole variety. And who's the star of it?

Mister Wolf! I guess this is a prequel to The Bad Guys, that makes sense.
