Whether doctors or teachers, house painters or gourmet cooks, Heidbreders crocodiles consistently turn work into wild rumpuses. Dressed as humans, the long-nosed, variously colored, and not particularly toothy figures in Mates sunny cartoon illustrations sport engaging grins as they chow down themselves on the fruits of their labors, throw paint with abandon, exuberantly cover the zowiesy of young patients with Band-Aids galore, and deposit mail anywhere except into mailboxes. An entirely nonserious, delightfully welcome look at the world of work.
