Weebl

Weebl, (real name Jonti Picking) owner of www.weebls-stuff.com, is a comedic flash animator/musician. Most of his jokes are completely random, or deal with pie in some way. Weebl created the "Weebl and Bob" series of flash animations, which consist of two egg-like objects, a large one named Weebl, and a smaller one named Bob. They talk incoherently, but this problem is fixed with speech bubbles. They have bad grammar (e.g. "You bringed back pie!").
