- Flanimals were first sighted by Ricky Gervais a long time ago. He drew some rough sketches and made notes about their behaviour. Then, Ricky asked his friend Rob Steen to draw them properly, exactly as they appear in their natural habitat.
- The result is two beautiful, informative and compendious volumes, Flanimals and More Flanimals, which are sure to delight, disgust and distress all who read them. There are a few things you need to know about Flanimals. And when you do, I’d keep them to yourself if I were you.
