Comments:
    See my comments for TVJACKS.JPG, which is basically the same
    scene from a more conventional viewpoint. This is the game of jacks
    as seen by a passing ant. I like this one a little better, personally.
    I must admit I'm pretty satisfied with the way the rubber ball texture
    turned out.
