Cartoon Kid

Cartoon Kid Synopsis

"You'll never guess what Mr. Butternut said at school today: 'This is your first day with me and I can see that there is something amazing about you ...all of you are hiding a big secret'. And do you know what it is? We are all Superheroes. I nearly fell off my chair! Then we had to choose our superhero names.

I'm Casper the Cartoon Kid, my best friend's Big Feet Pete and moaning Noella Niblet - she's the Incredible Sulk! Now we can fight injustice and Gory and Tory the Vampire Twins. They've stolen something that belongs to us and we want it back - Wham-Bam-Jelly And-Jam!"

Meet the characters (or click here to see them on Jeremy Strong's website):

Casper - IS Cartoon Kid! Brilliant at drawing and with his pet chameleon at his side, our knobbly-kneed hero fights the forces of evil, eg his big sister or the Vampire Twins.

Pete - Big Feet Pete is Casper’s best friend and lives next door. He’s full of crazy ideas and now he’s in love with Mia. Urrrgh! (That’s what Casper thinks!)

Hartley Tartly-Green - Poor Hartley has always got his nose in the air and tries to show off. No wonder he’s called Snotbox!

The Vampire Twins - Watch out, it’s Gory and Tory and they’re looking for victims! They’ll probably tie you to the school’s climbing frame and snaffle your crisps.

Masher McNee - is built like a tyrannosaurus. He’s the school bully and leader of the Monster Mob. He and the gang are Casper and Pete’s arch enemies.

Mr Butternut - Casper and Pete’s terrific teacher. He is full of surprises and most of all, he thinks all his class are - wham, bam, jelly and jam! - superheroes !

Mia - She has masses of curls, which she DOES NOT LIKE! But she’s fantastic at football and when she becomes Curly-Wurly-Girly she’s even more amazing.

Noella Niblet - is always moaning and complaining about something. That’s probably why Casper calls her The Incredible Sulk!
