Yeeeeeek!

...It's better than being moled by a goose.

Meet the mole. He's another occasional character who will join the cast of poetic cockroaches, cheeky daffodils and other visitors to the garden.

If he has an inspiration, it's this guy, a Czechoslovakian mole called Krtek (or 'The Mole' in Britain). His adventures used to appear on the BBC when I was a kid, and I'm amazed to find they're still being produced today, and they look exactly the same. Apologies to fans of grey gloomy eastern european cold war animation - you'll find nothing of that sort in The Mole, his main influence appears to be early Disney shorts.
