When the Prophet met Weebl
http://www.weebls-stuff.com is home to the cult classic Badgers flash toon and the fantastic Salad Fingers, as i am a big fan of much of the work on this site i thought i'd drop them a line and find out what the madness is all about.
Prepare to enter the mad world of Weebls.


What projects are you currently working on?

Magical Trevor 2 and the Weebl (Wobbl) and Bob DVD. Doing the DVD stuff is a lot of fun especially when I keep finding I’ve somehow deleted portions of the original flash file.

The Badger animation has become quite a phenomenon. Did you ever expect it to be so popular? Can you explain its popularity?

No I never expected it to be so popular. How could you predict something like that? To me it was just a silly little toon. Skoo said it would be popular mind. As to why it’s popular I’d guess because it’s ultra singable by even the least musical of people and catchy as hell. Also it’s got badgers in it.

Out of all the characters you’ve created which is your favourite?

Magical Trevor.

Your work is an odd mix of cute cartoons and dark humour. Where do you get your inspiration from?

All over the place. Films, adverts, Vic and Bob, Skoo, beer, cheese, knifes….

I tend to just sit down and play a silly tune for the musical ones. Then sing the first thing that comes to mind till I’ve got a song. For the story based toons Skoo and I meet up on IRC and throw ideas at each other.

When growing up which cartoons and animated programmes did you enjoy watching?

Chorlton and the Wheelies, Jamie and His Magic Torch, Ulysses 2031, Rhubarb and Custard… I could carry on all day. The moment that really sticks out is when I saw Laputa Castle in the Sky by Hayao Miyazaki way back in 1989. Beautiful film.

You work in a variety of mediums, which is your favourite and why?

I do? Erm. Flash I guess. The reason is I know it like the back of my hand and you can make it do pretty much anything really.

Considering both lions and tigers are from Kenya who would win in a fight?

Godzilla.

What is your favourite alcoholic beverage?

JD and Coke (Diet coke these days). It’s great.

When was the last time you got so drunk you puked?

The day after my house warming party. It was dry heaving though and hurt like hell.

Do you know any good cocktail recipes?

There’s this drink I came up with with a chum when I visited the US.

You need:

Cafeinated 7up

A nice bottle of plum wine

Mix to taste and then watch terrible films featuring Dolph Lundgren (Any film he’s in basically)

Which is the best city to go out partying in?

I like London or Edinburgh.

Fancy joining the Cult of the Drunken Prophet?

Sorry I’m washing my cat.
