Graphic Design: Danger Mouse website is a nostalgic time capsule

Danger Mouse was a gem among 1980s animated children’s TV, so imagine my absolute delight to discover that the very first website created and devoted to the little spy critter still exists untouched today, like a time capsule of web design. Head over to the site and you’ll find a multitude of soundbites, a lengthy episode guide and a handy link to “Danger Mouse in the Wikipedia” to satisfy all of your needs. Cue a wealth of bright blue Times New Roman text in, a series of old-school text-boxes and hours of teary-eyed nostalgia for how websites used to look.
