-	I just noticed that there's a thin magenta border around Ilko's kead in the easter egg at the end. I don't know how this toon was made, but I know that magenta is sometimes used as a transparency key for rectangular images, and that when a transparency-keyed image is resized or reformatted, what was originally supposed to be rendered as transparent can become blurred with the parts of the image that are supposed to be rendered as non-transparent. This is a common goof in transparency keying.	+	I just noticed that there's a thin magenta border around Ilko's kead in the easter egg at the end.
