Everything you ever needed to know about MulletBoy:

WHO: MulletBoy is Andrew Kepple (me), hence "Andrew Kepple's MulletBoy" for the title - that's an apostrophe of contraction, not possession. If it wasn't for my mullet, I reckon eight point seven per cent of the world's smart comments would not exist.

WHAT: Oh, in case you didn't know, a "mullet" is not only a fish, but a hairstyle typical of people in the 1980's, and redneck Australians/Americans.
"MulletBoy" in case you're wondering, consists of short, silent, slapstick animations about a hopeless goof.

WHY: I had this great idea for a short animation, (see "Another Satisfied Customer") but no cartoon character to play it out with. So I invented one, based on myself. Naturally, MulletBoy's idiot hopelessness and cartoonish clumsiness combined with his lack of eyes (and thus the lack of a soul, forcing the viewers to place themselves in this character's mind) make him an excellent cartoon character for goofy, slapstick animations. In hindsight, I don't know why I didn't just rip off Jar Jar Binks instead of creating MulletBoy, but at least this way I still get the copyright.

WHEN's the next cartoon due?: As soon as I do something idiotic. That usually inspires a cartoon or two - that's why I draw so many cartoons! So in other words, any day now.

HOW long does one of these animations take to make?: Long enough to justify being on the TooMuchSpareTime website.
