Meet… Onion, Red Onion
It is difficult to separate fact from fiction when describing Onion (we blame it on the tabloid press these days). In the cartoon world Onion is a mystery, a legend, a rumour… just like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster and a salary increase during the recession.
А master of camouflage and a modern-day chameleon, the gossip goes that back in the old days Onion used to be a mercenary for any kind of ‘wet work’. Not many have seen Onion and lived to tell about his hairy ears and other bits… until NOW!
The legend has stepped into the spotlight and is now available for hire as part of the Unemployed Cartoon Characters (UCC). Don’t panic – he means no harm. How do we know? He told us. Well, technically Onion does not speak. Instead, he kindly sent us a number of newspaper cut-outs letters (old habits die hard), explaining why he wanted to join the UCC team and change his ways:
Long story short, Onion was truly inspired by recently watching the full collection of Chuck Norris and Terminator movies, Onion wants to say ‘hasta la vista, baby’ to his past and become a role model and a hero! Despite not having any superpowers, Onion is convinced that positive attitude, Lycra skin-tight ‘superhero’ clothes and a little secret hidden in his pants is all he needs to take on any challenge.
But unlike those trivial heroes who save women tied to railway tracks and who blow up helicopters for dramatic effect, he wants to focus on preserving the environment! Himself an endangered species, Red Onion is now greener than ever – his new way of ‘cleaning up the town from rubbish’ is … recycling.
