HERE'S THE BAR!

Here's the first glimpse from inside The Rabbit's Hole! What a sticky and sweet place this dive is - guarunteed to intoxicate whatever your tonic! This is just the first rough, so expect this visage to develop and shape shift somewhat over the coming weeks as we continue to develop the space.

Also swinging your way in the coming weeks will be the first Fagbutt and gang thumbnails and single frame gags as we hurtle towards the launch of our very first comic - woot toot toot! So keep you drunken eye on the wobbly ball for more more MORE Fagbutt delights smacking you right in your expectant faces!

BAR BEAR

Meet bar tending bar owner, Bar Bear. Probably the only member of the Fagbutt Bear cast that Fagbutt himself is actually scared of! Well, he doesn't want to get barred from Hundred Litre Wood's premier watering hole (boozer). Does he?

COME TAKE A DRINK FROM THE 'RABBIT'S HOLE'.........

Enough said really - except maybe that the place is pretty stinky.

And from one hole to another (a much bigger one that is), please note that as of today 'Hundred Metre Wood' will now be officially known as 'Hundred Litre Wood' (we had a little change of heart at RC + GT headquarters).

WHAT A BLOODY BOAR!

If the topic has a shred of interesting content, you can fully expect this guy NOT to mention it! Bar Boar is possibly THE most boring character you will EVER meet in your life - and yet you can guarantee that The Rabbit's Hole isn't the only bar in the land to have such a regular. He's the curse of every patron who's unlucky enough to pull up the last stool at the bar (that's always the empty one next to him!) and you can bet your bottom dollar that within 30 seconds of being in his company your eyes will have glazed over, your ears will begin to bleed, and you will quickly descend into a catatonic state of boredom, with the dull drone of BLAH blah blah blah blah blah ringing in your ears ... ... ... ... ...

LOOK OUT, RANGER RITTALLIN'S ABOUT!

Unhinged is not the word. This guy is proper schizoid! One minute he's beating on bears and the next he's marvelling at the wonders of nature in Jelly Stained Park! With an authoritarian persona and general dislike for bears, Ranger Rittallin is best avoided. However, he does have one weakness: booze (it really doesn't mix well with his meds...)! He tries his best to steer clear of The Rabbit's Hole as much as his job allows, but once in sniffing distance of the amber nectar he's as helpless as a baby bear off the teet - things take on a shape-shifting nature, bears become friends (if he even realises they're bears), and anything can become possible...!

WHO IS ROTTEN RABBIT??!

Meet Rotten Rabbit! He's a one-eyed, punk rocking, white rabbit, who's demeanor is, well, pretty much rotten! His manic nature, constant references to the time, and sudden disappearances are highly disconcerting to the general bear population of Hundred Metre Wood. Questions must be answered: who is he? What is that god-awful smell? And, most importantly, does he even exist.............?

RC + GT COMICS IS............

In 1972 a crackpot cartoon unit was sent to jail by a kangaroo court for truly hideous crimes that they most definitely did commit! These loons languished in the comforts of HRH's minimum-security zoo for some years, before finally getting off their arses and escaping to the hairy underbelly of Dundee. Today, still unwanted by literally everyone they have met, they survive as soldiers of nonsense (when they can be bothered)......... If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them (try the pub), it would be completely pointless to hire......... THE FAGBUTT TEAM!

RC + GT Comics* is the collaborative force of Gordon Tait and Rowan Crawford. Over the coming months they plan to bring you the development of Fagbutt Bear's character and world through the blog, as well as producing printed comics, Fagbutt art, and, (if they can get to grips with it) some Flash animation. There will be lots of laughs and plenty of goodies to give away - so, in the name of fun and absolute nonsense, get off YOUR arse and come and join in!

*RC + GT Comics is a division of LETHARGIC SOLUTIONS...not solving tomorrow what should have been solved today!

HE'S HERE!

Meet Fagbutt Bear, he’s more pissed up than your average bear – and so are most of his friends! Fagbutt, and the sleuth of other bears who appear from time to time, live in Jelly Stained Park in the Hundred Metre Wood. Fagbutt is a hopeless alcoholic who spends his days drinking in The Rabbit’s Hole bar, lamenting the smoking ban and the general rights and wrongs of the world.

The Rabbit’s Hole is the centre of Fagbutt’s world and is where most of the action takes place. It’s primarily frequented by the other bears but from time to time sees the interruption of a passing stag night, or the occasional badger drifting through – much to the consternation of Fagbutt, who is generally intolerant of any other species. Within Jelly Stained Park there’s also The Honey Pot lap dancing club and Bear Grrrrills Steakhouse, as well as The Jelly Stained Cop Station.

The sleuth of bears includes Barebutt Bear, whose butt is permanently bare after an unexplained incident that has resulted in his ability to keep things up his perpetually exposed posterior; Air Bear, an ex-air force, Vietnam veteran type who spends his days drunkenly reminiscing about the action he’s seen; Nigel, who suffers from low self-esteem; and Bearak Obampot, president of the local woodland council, who would like nothing more than to revoke Bar Bear’s liquor licence and shut The Rabbit’s Hole for good! These are but to name a few......

Join Fagbutt and the gang as they shambolically and drunkenly stumble their way through their days at The Rabbit’s Hole. Whether he’s watching his favourite TV show, Inspector Bear; taking part in the pub quiz; or pulling some diabolically disgusting stunt, Fagbutt Bear will never fail to entertain!
