Tripp & Tamus
Having spent time working as a teacher, Joe was reminded of after school snacks or rewards that he shared with his siblings. Two items in particular were from a local bakery and they were the perfect pair: A blue and white sailboat and purple hippopotamus cookies. These delicacies served as core memories of Joe's youth and the inspiration for Tripp & Tamus.
Tripp & Tamus is about two friends who work together to learn from their mistakes, while pushing the boundaries of their comfort zone.
This first grader and hippo cookie, spend their time exploring and volunteering for adventures, between meals, in the bustling town of Tall Pines.

Tripp
Tripp is a curious kid and wants to learn more about the world around him, but often lacks to confidence to try something on his own. Sometimes, just like the rest of us he needs an extra push from a friend to take a risk or in this case a mighty shove from a hippo. Enter stage left, Tamus. |
Tamus
This hippo makes himself at home wherever he goes and often brings a grand sense of theatre to ordinary situations. He is a skilled captain of his blue and white sailboat, that allows safe passage into Tall Pines. His super power is his imagination and belief in himself and others. |
