The idea for Wally Worm was for a series of short animations that involved the character being in different situations, that more often than not, ended in an unfortunate outcome for Wally. However, in the tradition of classic cartoon characters, he’s invulnerable and always returns in a new scenario non the worse (Or wiser) for any prior misfortune. Later I thought he looked too likeable to suffer such adversities, and therefore the pathos in the humor wouldn’t really work; he looks more like a character you’ d laugh with than at. Everyone who’ s seen the storyboard likes the frame shown above the most – you can see the rest of the storyboard here…
