Frankenstein's Cat
Frankenstein's Cat is a 2001 children's picture book written and illustrated by Curtis Jobling.The main characters are Nine, Lottie, Dr Franken, Fifi, Heidi, Igora, Pipsquawk, Trevor, Sweeny, Bigtop, Mr Crumble and Gutner Van Halen.Although Heidi, Igora and Fifi treat Nine with disdain, the Doctor isn't bothered with his first creation, although he wishes he could create something more fearsome.He doesn't seem to mind Lottie, and sometimes sends her strange gifts via Nine as a thank-you for sorting monster-related issues out.He is the leader of the town's gang of four boys, and is usually the loudest one in proclaiming his hatred of girls.He has a simple mind and is often amused by things that would normally seem unbecoming of an Oddsburg boy, such as dollies or fairy cakes, but gets away with it because he's also very strong.Van Halen, the "Monster Man" is a monster hunter who, as he puts it, "dedicated his life and limbs to their destruction", which is saying something, as he has sustained a few scars in his career; he lost his left arm whilst capturing a Two-Headed Transylvanian Zombie and lost his nose to a Giant Blood-Sucking Leech of the Black Lagoon.The book has also been adapted as an animated show by MacKinnon & Saunders in the United Kingdom, CCI Entertainment in Canada and Kayenta Productions in France.A digital 2D animation made entirely in Flash, Frankenstein’s Cat is aimed at the 6+ age group and consists of 30x11-minute episodes.
