I don't believe it...
I had heard many rumors of this but I did not think it could be true... this leaves me speechless yet a thousand things flow through my head at once! I have read the many theories behind this and while they all seem accurate one can never truly know the true methods and thoughts behind this highly inspirational piece. To me it speaks volumes though.
The red obvious symbolizes the hate and disdain new flash authors were usually greeted with, and the slight paue before the 'B' appears, as if it is hesitant of the reactions it will receive only encourages this image. The fact that it is so small compared to the page as a whole yet surrounded by only white is a testament to a great inspiration usually lost in the void of the flash world, standing out if only it could be seen! While the fact that it is off center might seem like a small point, but it shows that even if we don't know our place in the world we can still shine brightly. The fact that it is the second letter in the alphabet certainly means that you don't have to be number one to "B" something.
This simple flash with it's simple letter is an inspiration and we can only thank StrawberryClock for gracing us with it.
Thank you.
