Hodman and Sally are on a camping holiday with their affluent in-laws. The map is gone and tempers are frayed... so let the bickering commence! Tremendously enjoyable, especially for people who have ever been on a family vacation. Mouseover here for second image.
Bill Oddity's Bewildered Beasts
Having accidentally been transported to our world with his dimension-hopping pet shop, Bill Oddity must find a way home by any means possible... and if he can shift some stock on the way, so much the better.
Prospective customers will be introduced to Pongo - an 8 ft tall flightless bird that is allergic to feathers, a mint condition Shroedringer's cat (which may or may not be in its original packaging) and a host of other critters that are cared for by, or otherwise infest, Bill.
Quantum physics meets animal husbandry.
