For those of you who work with Unity.
You know how when you switch to 'curves' in the keyframe window it always seems to default to the most unhelpful zoom possible?

When this happens, (with the curve view as the active pane) press [ctrl-a] then [f]!

I lost a lot of sleep when my mom bought me this Raymond Briggs book (I was super into his earlier book Fungus the Bogeyman).
After the Berlin Wall came down I genuinely thought we'd seen the back of this shit, the last couple of years have made me very fecking anxious.
