Character: The Things

The Things don’t have arms, legs or a gender. Physically, they are nigh invulnerable and emotionally vulnerable, sensitive and kind. Sometimes they eat spoons!

  • The two Things look all vibratey and increasingly weird for two panels. Then they both fall asleep deeply, their heads thrown back. A little like the flip top head toothbrush head ads from the 80s. The Things are much recovered after their nap and smile at us. We do.
