The Cartoon

Remarks

The second cartoon, it introduces a new character, the Corporal. Originally intended just to be a male worm with curly hair, I decided to make Corporal female because a) she looked quite female and b) in the interests of sexual equality :-/. We also learn the names of two of the "troopers": the one with glasses is called Howard, and one of the others (not specifically identified yet) is known as George. Not especially military names I know, but then that is meant to be part of the joke...
