Fat Pie Episodes
Before his Salad Fingers debut, Firth worked on online episodes of the 'Fat-Pie' series, which follows the surreal misadventures of Jim and his friends. Three full episodes were made, each one lasting roughly 15 minutes long and have plots based on the rise of a craze or theme. Unlike Firth's later work, the animation was produced using Macromedia Director (as flash wasn't out then) and TVPaint. In 2004, Firth started work on episode 4, but about a quarter-way-through, aborted the project. The characters Freddie, Dane, Spider and Lazy Lemon have since re-appeared in The World Within A Sock, a short series produced by Fat-Pie for Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe.
His popular online character Devvo performed at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival's Free Fringe to enthusiastic crowds.
