I’ve always wanted to ask David Kish: Why do your people have wheels for feet? Also, in this trend, is there any way to create a wheeled Hoopleville character of unscrupulousness or general unreliability for a plot line and call them a Hooptievillian? (That’s a pretty lame pun on my part).
Not having followed Hoopleville long enough to know, the world needs answers!
(Incidentally, what did you think of the fact the University of Southern Maine decided to interview you on Hoopleville’s one year anniversary? http://media.www.usmfreepress.org/media/st… )
IPH,
Thanks for the comment! Yes, there is an “evil” character: Herr Doktor Professor Milch Dud. He appears in the sporadically produced Hoopleville Puppet Show in which he steals the Hoopleville Cupcakes which are then rescued by Napoleon XXIII who drives a taxi.
USM Free Press was the first college paper – or paper of any kind – to run the cartoons, and that interview was a blast! The interviewer was Tim Hofmann: artist, stand-up comedian and friend. As far as why the characters have wheels for feet…I’m not at liberty to say.
