Run Pola Run

Run Pola Run, don't let the kitty catch ya!

A design based on Paul Lalo, one of my best friends at uni.

I named this character Pola, which is a contraction of Paul Lalo. “Run Pola Run” is a friendship gift to Mr. Lalo. I find it funny that Paul is sometimes worried by little things, even though he’s such a tall guy. Often he’ll say ‘No SEN no!’ and ‘don’t do this!’ when there’s nothing to worry about.

A tall man being chased by a little cat has become a theme gag in a lot of my creations. “Run Pola Run” was started as a second year assignment but developed it further in my experiments for Poles Apart. It was so much fun I decided to put him in other films as an extra character and running gag.
