The other day I was reading about Droste Effect packaging (via BoingBoing via pfranzosa's shared items) which made me think of The Mouse and His Child, an animated feature from 1977 that I fondly remembered from childhood, which had a plot element about finding "the last visible dog" in the recursive picture on a can of Bonzo Dog Food. A few years ago I read the book that the movie was based on, but the movie has not been released on DVD and so is pretty hard to find. But, in a discussion last night, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
prog pointed out that it must be available on the Internet somewhere, and sure enough the entire 77-minute film is available on YouTube! You can watch the whole thing in all its tripped-out '70s glory, or skip to about the 51 minute mark to watch the search for the last visible dog.
The author of the book is Russel Hoban, whose Frances the Badger books I also knew from childhood. Butahkond mentioned that he is also well-known as the author of the post-apocalyptic novel Riddley Walker, which won the Campbell Award in 1982. That's a rather diverse oeuvre.
