Car-Boy
is an ordinary little boy who lives with his parents in a house in something
that looks like a kind of suburb in a desert. The only unusal thing about
him is that his head somehow resembles the front of an old car. But on
the other hand, all the neighborhood children also have heads in the shape
of different vehicles - like his best friends Tractor-Girl and Wreck-Boy.
Car-Boy likes to explore the world around him - he makes friends with
the bathroom faucet, a lonely car, and X-son the gas pump detective. He
feels
strongly for all kinds of things and objects, and tries to help them whenever
he sees
that they're being treated unjustly or cruelly.
Often, by accident, he finds horrible secrets and conspiracies going on
under the
seemingly happy surface of his environment, but because of his good nature
and creative
mind he usually finds a way to save himself and his friends out of every
dangerous situation.
Even when things go badly wrong, like when his parents are accidentally
killed, he soon
manages to turn things to the better by growing meat-trees, and a meat-child,
out of
their dead bodies down in the basement.
