This Pancake Day spare a thought for how our Roadkill Characters are feeling. After being run over 27 times on the A40 start to feel like a pancake. And when that 16-wheeler juggernaut hits you slap yango then the similarities are uncanny. Twitch and his friends all know how it feels. This Shrove Tuesday they will be feeling a bit flat. So to lift their spirits why not give one of them a good home. Roadkill is the perfect accompaniment to any pancake.

Roadkill Teddies don't last forever. Once you have finished playing with your Roadkill Teddy, and you have squeezed all the fun out of it, then we would ask that you give it a proper burial. The most humane way would be to put it in a bolser wood box, with a couple of airholes, and bury it in your back garden. It's only then that Twitch and his friends can be put to rest. Maybe you could also say a few words, to help whisk Twitch off to that great Pet Cemetary in the sky.

RIP 2008. Here at Roadkill Toys, we don't look back. We look forwards. Our New Year's Resolution is to make more disturbing toys. We would like to spread joy and happiness through the medium of squashed animals. Next off the tarmac will be Smudge the Squirrel and Pop the Weasel. And soon after that Fender the Fox will be limping into view. We will be putting up details of their whereabouts in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled.   

The next Roadkill post is Monday 12th January. We're all recovering from our eggnog and turkey bingeing. We'll be back manning our posts on 12th January. We've also got lots of new Roadkill surprises up our sleeves this year. There'll be plenty more characters to join Twitch, Grind and Splodge. There'll be Pop the Weasel, Smudge the Squirrel, and Fender the Fox. Happy new year!

Christmas is a time for joy and merriment. But not if you've missed the last Roadkill post. If you're looking to spread joy this Christmas with a Roadkill Teddy, make sure you get your order in soon. The last guaranteed post for the UK is 20th December. Merry Christmas!
