Dr Sheep and the Aardvark is unquestionably one of Scotland’s most popular online comic strips, enjoyed by thousands of comic fans around the world.

The strip began in 1999, in a sketchy, raw format, but developed over several years into a more polished, more professional and funnier comedy product.  Much of the fascination of the strip is in watching it develop over time!  In 2007, the comic was relaunched with a compelling, fun storyline about memories, friendship, honour and glory.

When an imaginative but clumsy aardvark arrives in a conservative town of sheep, he causes quite a stir with his bizarre outlook on life, especially when it is revealed that he has lost his memory.  When introduced to the local doctor, an unshakable friendship is formed as the pair work together to find out where the lost traveller came from.
