Two new roadkill characters are on their way. Yesterday I saw the first sample of Splodge the Hedgehog. He's seen better days, the poor, spikey little beggar. But we thought he looked lovely. He's undergoing a few minor alterations, before he joins his buddies Grind and Twitch. And tomorrow, I'm going to be getting up especially early to wait for the first post. Because Smudge the Squirrel should be getting shovelled through the letter box.

Smudge is coming hot on the heels of Splodge. And together they should form a formidable squashed duo. So hedgehog lovers and squirrel lovers look away now, because there are two new roadkill cadavers on their way.
