Public information

In 1970 a council public information campaign warned citizens that they should be afraid, though it didn't clarify exactly what it was they were supposed to be afraid of. Inevitably, this lead to widespread panic. Police, council and coven telephone helplines were inundated with calls by distressed citizens of Scarfolk who had been previously unaware of the danger they were in. In an attempt to define what the campaign's 'presence' might refer to, the Daily Ail newspaper printed what it…

We were asked to illustrate a public information poster for Transport for London to promote the WiFi connections in London underground stations. The illustration takes the form of the international WiFi symbol with the signal bars portraying London’s diff…

After last week's post about the Bladder Clown surgical toy we thought it seasonally appropriate to show you another artefact filed in our Automaclown Archive B. Parents in the 1970s were required to submit their children to civic trials, the details of which are not fully clear to us now.

Worried citizens gathered in secret to discuss the poster campaign. Knowing that most homes contained surveillance devices, they debated the poster non-verbally, using hand gestures.

The previous year the government had held a referendum on whether to have one and the majority of Scarfolk residents voted in favour, largely because they liked the siren and thought it sounded funny. They also voted for the 3 minute warning to be extended to 10 minutes so that older, frailer people could get to their windows in time to see the initial flash and subsequent mushroom cloud.
