Cover of the US edition

The 13-Storey Treehouse (published in the US as The 13-Story Treehouse) is a 2011 book[1] written by author Andy Griffiths and illustrated by Terry Denton,[2] and a stage play based on the book (FIX PHRASING).[3] The story follows the author and illustrator, who live in a 13-storey treehouse, struggling to finish their book on time among many distractions, and their friend Jill, who lives in a house full of animals and often visits them. According to the book, the 13-storey treehouse has "a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, a tank full of man-eating sharks , a secret underground laboratory, a vegetable vaporizer and a marshmallow machine that shoots marshmallows into your mouths when it sees that you are hungry".

The 13-Storey Treehouse won the Australian Book Industry Awards Book of the Year for Older Children 2012.[4][5]

The book has spawned a series of sequels:

  • The 26-Storey Treehouse (published September 2012)

Jamie Smart

Jamie Smart (born 21 July 1978) is a British comic artist and writer, most famous for his ten-issue comic series, Bear.[6] He has also had his comic My Own Genie published in the popular children's magazine The Dandy.[7]

His current project is a four-issue mini-series called Ubu Bubu, a spin-off of his oneshot comic, Bohda Te.

He was instrumental in the design of the October 2010 revamp of The Dandy, even designing the new logos. For the revamp, Smart drew Desperate Dan, Pre-Skool Prime Minister, Arena of Awesome, My Dad's a Doofus (as well as many others) with reprints of My Own Genie and Space Raoul later being used.[8][9] His blue blobs have been part of The Dandy cover since October 2010 and appeared in The Digital Dandy during its run.

For the final print edition of The Dandy on its 75th anniversary, Jamie Smart drew the special cover as well as drawing My Own Genie, My Dad's a Doofus, Pre-Skool Prime Minister and My Teacher's a Walrus in the Top 75 Countdown. A reprint from The Arena of Awesome was also used.

Jamie Smart is currently drawing Bunny VS Monkey and Looshkin for The Phoenix. Jamie recently drew The Numskulls and Kingo Bango for the relaunched Digital Dandy until its demise. Smart also appeared regularly in The Beano drawing puzzle pages and has since gone on to take over drawing Roger the Dodger from Barrie Appleby, which as of April 2014, he no longer draws. He also draws a new strip called El Poco Loco.

In October 2019[10], he published his first illustrated novel, "Flember: The Secret Book" through David Fickling Books, who had previously published collections of "Bunny VS Monkey" and "Looshkin"[11].

Screen rot

Screen rot

In most cases, it usually occurs when the device is stored in a warm and humid environment[13] for a prolonged period of time without being powered on and displaying an image, and moisture penetrating into the LCD panel results in this. The panel may emit a bad odour in advanced stages of screen rot.

In transreflective monochrome STN LCD panels

A discoloured patch can be seen usually near the middle of the screen

In DSTN LCD panels

In advanced stages of screen rot, the surface of the panel will have a rough texture, and the topmost layers of the panel may peel away from the rest of the panel. The display will still light up, but the outer area of the screen may be stuck on a certain colour (in the case of a colour display). Adjusting the contrast may produce a readable display (in terms of text), but images may not be colour accurate,

In TFT LCD panels

The screen rot process starts when moisture penetrates the panel and starts forming around the middle of the screen, usually appearing as light patches within the LCD panel, or it may also appear as actual moisture within the panel. At this point, any text being displayed should be readable, but images being displayed may not be colour accurate as compared to an undamaged panel.

In advanced stages of screen rot, the surface of the panel will have a rough texture. The panel will still power up and display an image, but most of the screen will not be colour accurate, and text may not be readable. In addition to this, the panel may emit a bad odour.
