From all the pics of it I've seen so far, Babe's image looks much more realistic
than Stan's. The Stan face almost looks more like a cartoonish Fred Astaire. If
you do make a trip to see it, please report back here with your impressions.

This is the clay model:

It's well worth it. I saw the statue at the weekend during the UK
Convention. The photographs don't do it justice.

But I wonder how many people will query the 'misquotation' engraved in the
pavement?
