PANIQUE AU VILLAGE, ÉPISODE 17 : LES VOLEURS DE CARTES

During a game of cards the deck is stolen. The tracks lead to the village pond, underneath which there seems to be a parallel world, inhabited by strange frogmen and octopuses. Following the cartoon series of ‘Picpic le cochon magik et André le mauvais cheval’ (‘Picpic the magic pig and André the bad horse’), Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar have created this animated series based on plastic figures. Cowboy and Indian, two inseparable characters that entertain a ‘hostile brotherly’ type relationship, play the main roles. They are jealous of each other, and constantly argue about everything. Like all brothers, their conniving attitude fully comes out when faced with adversity or silly pranks. They both live with The Horse, a rare moral character in the Panics universe. One may think of The Horse as a surrogate father (or is it mother?) figure to Cowboy and Indian. This moralizing attitude strongly irritates all those living on the farm.
