I wasn't much moved by the Edmund Hillary coverage in the news media - it looked suspiciously like a money-making venture. It only made it worse that Sir Ed seemed to be a genuine man, who had used a fair bit of his celebrity to make a difference to people less fortunate than himself, and the back-slapping kiwi great bit was pathetic.
But this cartoon just caused me a huge sniffle. The details are a bit mad (where did Illiad get Jump +16 from?!?) but the basic sentiment is so very cool.
