[edit] Synopsis
Oscar is a lizard living in a non-specific
desert that has features from several different real deserts, like the
Sahara,
Kalahari Desert and North American deserts. An
asphalt concrete road runs through the area, and it is occasionally used by various trucks. A lot of
garbage
litters the desert, and the main characters are constantly exploring
it. They find amusement with the different pieces of litter they
encounter. Oscar is usually searching for water or food for himself
while his friends sometimes help or hinder his search. He sometimes
finds liquid in bottles or the ground but is not successful in
recovering it to drink. Oscar will sometimes eat eggs he usually tries
to steal for from a hen house nearby. Three unusual friends also camp in
the area: Popy - a
fennec fox, Buck - a
vulture, and Harchi - a
hyena. They live in a derelict
school bus. The desert has deep
canyons and the main characters often find themselves falling down in same the same manner as
Wile E. Coyote when chasing the
Road Runner.
Characters
The four main characters are:
[1]
- Oscar - The main character of the show. He is a lizard
that is always getting into trouble with the trio – Popy, Buck, and
Harchi – and the chickens too. Oscar is always trying to catch flies and
find some water, but most of the time things don’t come out right.
Whenever he has something interesting, the trio always tries to take it
from him. Whilst he in turn often tries to steal the trio's food.
- Popy - a fennec fox, the boss of the trio, the one who gives the orders. As shown in the episodes Pronto Express and Bad Seed, she is also greedy.
- Buck - a vulture, the nerd of the trio, he always approves when Harchi gets yelled at by Popy.
- Harchi - a hyena,
the brawn of the trio, he is given the physical jobs. He normally acts
as the driving force behind the makeshift cart that he along with his
friends chase Oscar or the chickens with. In the event of them taking a
collective tumble, it’s he who catches everyone so they avoid the
ravine. Sometimes he can also show stupidity.
Minor Characters
- Manolo - a truck driver who transports various items in the series. He is always asleep at the wheel while his dog, Roco, drives.
- Roco - Manolo's loyal and faithful dog. He always tries to
keep their cargo safe and frequently chases Oscar and the trio or tries
to deter them from the contents of the moving vehicle.
- Oscar's girlfriend - a female lizard to whom Oscar's heart
belongs. In one episode she has babies. She’s unnamed but according to
the POP website she’s called Lizzardette.
- The Chickens - their half-closed eyes give them a nonchalant,
blasé appearance. They fall blindly into the traps laid for them, and
get out of them without realizing they have escaped any kind of danger.
- The Crocodiles - the most feared animals of the desert and the top predators.
- The Skunk - He doesn’t smell good. He is always afraid of
Oscar, but the trio are always afraid of him because of his smell. He
often takes the trio's fruit.
- Meerkat
- The Dung Beetles - Oscar's friends who occasionally help him
out of tough predicaments. Oscar once helped them roll up a large ball
of dung, which they have never forgotten.
- Junior - Oscar's adopted son who made only one appearance in the show. He was shown to grow into a giant lizard, bigger than Oscar.
