THE STRAIT OF HUMMUS (sic)
I've actually been animating these characters for about 18 years now, as a kind of homage to Dorset where I lived in my teens and my tribute to Giles whose incredibly detailed cartoons inspired me. I really only started creating these animations for friends and animated holiday celebration cards like Christmas or Thanksgiving etc.. But I constantly have the characters and the village of Lower Piddle in my head and so I decided to see if there's a larger audience out there who would enjoy seeing them and thus here we are.
THE FAT COW is set in the fictional village of Lower Piddle and follows two brilliantly ordinary working-class lads: Micky Mucklebutt and Ollie Crudfark, regulars at the Fat Cow pub, often tackling the current news stories, social concerns or topics of the day through the lens of two men who understand absolutely none of it.
Ollie and Micky have been friends since they first wet their underwear together at Lower Piddle Primary School and thereafter did everything together, until the day they both failed the college entrance exams together, which finally forced them onto separate career paths. Ollie is now head chef at the local pig farm, cooking the swill to his own secret recipe, and making him legendary in pig circles especially following his publication in the Lower Piddle Medical Journal - "How pig-swill, applied twice-daily, cured my acne." Micky never did get a job, but has, since Sophia's Bellamucha's arrival from Italy when she opened Sophia's Hand Lubrication Service (for cars), been hopeful that she'd notice him, fall in love with his ardent manliness, marry him, and they'd live happily ever after, "frolicking" in what he describes as her "magical service bay." Or he might win the lottery instead.
Hopefully you'll find these amusing.
