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.

Famous quotes containing the words fat, pie and/or episodes:
“It is silly to call fat people “gravitationally challenged”Ma self-righteous fetishism of language which is no more than a symptom of political frustration.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“No man’s pie is freed
From his ambitious finger.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
