	Blogging... Walk The Talk: August 2006
		Because Hong Kong has never had a military, or any real effort at creating a sense of patriotic municipal identity, there have been few that would volunteer to die for the flag (with the notable exception of the Hong Kong Volunteers during the Battle for Hong Kong in 1941).
		The flag that Hong Kong had long known, with a notable half-decade interregnum in the 1870s, was one that had the blue ensign and the flag of the United Kingdom in its top left corner.
		I admit that in the design of the enclosed flag there is a certain unpleasant resemblance to a portion of the present arms of the Colony, but I respectfully submit that the opportunity is not unfabourable for considering whether the Arms themselves now borne on the seal of the Colony are not capable of improvement.

		It's funny to think of the man from The Shining and The Blues Brothers doing Hong Kong Phooey's voice but there he is none the less and if you're at all familiar with his music or his acting you'll recognize the voice right away.
		There is a moderately heavy coat of grain overtop the picture pretty consistently but that's to be expected considering the age of the episodes — it might prove to be heavier than most would expect, however, given how good some of the other HB sets have looked on DVD..
