THE JUNGLE GONE WILD

SCRIPT BY CHRISTIAN GODARD, ART BY MIC DELINX

Introducing a few characters from
THE JUNGLE GONE WILD :

Joe Tiger : as his fur and last name clearly show, Joe is a tiger. But do not be alarmed. He’s a peaceful, friendly individual, kind and gentle to little old ladies – a pussycat, really. His only fault is his huge appetite, but he only ever eat apples ! You may thus safely hang around him, unless you happen to grow on an apple tree…





Big Rino : the rhinoceros. Slightly low-browed, and covered in  badges and medals of all kinds (not that there’s any connection between low brows and medals). It’s impossible to know how he got those. At war ? He got turned down by the army. At University? He’s illiterate. For some act of bravery ? He’s as cowardly as can be.
Never mind. He’s the only big oaf around that can safely claim to be so highly “distinguished”.





August : the crocodile. A poet, and a splendiferous artist if there ever was one. An elevated soul, always ready to get all afire for a glimpse of a female shape, some noble cause or mad caper. Yet he always gets discouraged at the slightest hint of difficulty. In short, a daydreamer; completely harmless, save, perhaps, for great poetry and literature.





Mortimer : the rattlesnake, a.k.a. rat-all-snake, because of his inability to stop spouting nonsense. His naiveté is only equalled by his inexhaustible goodwill. Following some prankster’s advice, he once took part in an inter-jungle flat-hand wrestling contest and – failing to realise he had no hands – almost won the trophy.






Potamus : the hippopotamus. A doctor. Highly specialised – but in just about anything. Depending on the cases he meets, he acts as psychiatrist, masseur, podiatrist or acupuncturist ; his knowledge in anything medicine-related is null and void, and his self-confidence indestructible. He often gets surprisingly good results.







The bottom-of-the-page magpies : chatty, hammy, full of themselves, and moralising, too ! But they do have an uncommon taste for lousy jokes and feeble puns. Which makes up for a multitude of sins.
