FROM THE ARTIST: "This is a pilot for an animation series I would love to make someday. It stemmed from a question I used to ask people, which was: 'would you rather fight a duck with the powers of a man or a man with the powers of a duck?' The whole show would center around Duck Man and Man Duck, a duck and an arrogant rich man who were fused together to form a duck man and a man duck by the evil Animal Masher. The series follows the two as they fight off a bunch of zany villains hoping to find the Animal Masher. As they go on, the pair become unlikely friends and learn a little bit about what makes us human and how we can all aspire to be better versions of ourselves."
