I have just had a revelation.
It has been bugging me all morning that the worm avatar / footer reminds me of something. And then it struck me:
Earthworm Jim!

Absolutely right Kit. I had the same revelation, but I was afraid nobody would know who the hell E. Jim was, and then lose all respect for me, think I’m a loser and eventually kill me. :-\

most people know E. Jim. I always loved it when his sidekick, that little puppy there, mutated and beat the crap outta Jim… _lol_
hella funny…

I’d have to say Evil the Cat was the best villian. And Heck, with all it’s corporate doodads. But Earthworm Jim was a quality cartoon. Shame it’s not broadcast any more. At least, not over here.

And as for this, I don’t think we could lose any respect for you, pom. 🙂

EWJ was a great game. I didn’t make the connection myself… but I now see the similarities.

The game was good, a friend of mine had it.
I loved the TV cartoon as well, although it hasn’t been on in years, sadly. They used to show it during the summer holidays when I was at school.
What was the other one I liked? Oh yeah, Duckman. BBC2 showed that at about 2am every week, if you were lucky, so I had to video them. But there’s so many I missed!
