Not bad web design for 1997, you might think. But wait! What’s this…
Only a godamn winking Branson!
To see Richard wink, you must view the site on The Internet Archive. Make haste looking, mind, for he only does it once.
Despite being a web developer by trade, there is an additional mystery in that I can’t actually see how they have animated it. It’s not an animated gif and there seems to be no javascript.
There is, of course, a chance that he’s only winking at me and not every user that comes to the site. I actually moved into my current house only because a ginger tomcat sat on the bin outside winked at me when I was looking round. I’m a sucker for that sort of thing.

Photoshop proclaims it’s an animated gif to me. It’s a bit of a weird wink though.

He looks like he is having some kind of wink spasm to me.

you can set a gif to loop a certain number of times, rather than loop forever.

It’s a 3 frame animated gif which doesn’t loop

Did you click on the image to see the foot-tapping Branson?
