MG: So, Feathers... How do you like your new page?
Feathers: *blink*
MG: That much, huh? And look! We have a visitor! Welcome to "The Search For Feathers."
Feathers: *blink blink*
MG: Feathers says "hello."
Feathers: *blink*
MG: Be patient, I was getting to that! Feathers feels that this would be a good time to give you a quick bit of history. So I will.
Feathers McGraw started out as the villain in Nick Park's The Wrong Trousers (a must-see!). You can go get the scoop on Feathers from his original creators over at Aardman Animation.
Later, Feathers began making brief cameo appearances on ReBoot. If you're new to ReBoot, keep an eye out. You may be able to spot Feathers in these episodes:
In "Identity Crisis Part 2," Dot makes the first ReBoot Feathers sighting as she stumbles across him in a back alley.
If you've seen The Wrong Trousers, this may feel familiar-- that film also features a scene in an alley with eyes cut out of a dog food box.
In "Trust No One," Feathers is seen walking down the sidewalk shortly before the Guardian Council's explosives go off.
In "Web World Wars," Feathers waddles along in front of a Mainframe tank.
In "The Return of the Crimson Binome," Feathers can be seen on one of the prison guard's screens.
It's reminiscent of the shot in The Wrong Trousers where Feathers is locked up in the zoo.
Also in "The Return of the Crimson Binome," Feathers falls out of a box on the Saucy Mare.
In "Web Riders On the Storm," Feathers can be spotted peeking out just after the Saucy Mare's hull is breached.
And now here's the really important part: an alert. There is a Feathers on the loose. A small Feathers action figure spent the summer of '98 on my desk. He has since disappeared. Where did he go? No one really knows. He may have found a way into my computer, or he may have hit the road. So, beware. The rogue Feathers could show up when you least expect it. On the Web, in the grocery check-out line... who knows?
