Solomen Fix: the series: Serra! By Doug TenNapel 4-27-2007 ML SOLOMON FIX is a cheery, twit-of-a-stuffed bear who likes to fix problems— problems that are often none of his business. He enjoys correctly implementing rules and it’s fun watch life jack up his plans as he discovers that reality is a lot messier than he imagines.

These stupid, pig-like beasts live Outside of the village and provide dramatic threat to our heroes. Luckily, Trolls are easily tricked and can even be wooed into friendship which is all too tempting to a social butterfly like SOLOMON FIX, fi F THe, GED woRLDWHY STUFFED ANIMALS? ‘There's another elemeat to SOLOMON FAX that deals with the human children these stuffed animals are assigned to. The land of UNDERBED gets its name from this world’s location... which is under fhe bed of children around the world. Humans aren't supposed to go to UNDERBED but all stuffed animals will one day be sent up to Barth. In this sense Underbed is like going to school for training to live on Earth. The fun comes from their perception of children (the Nick audience) up above....some of their perception is funny because it’s wrong, some because it’s right on, A few lucky human kids break through the doors under their beds and make it to UNDERBED from time to time. Other times a roll or ‘rabbit-horse” will make into our Earth and it's up to SOLOMON to go on an adventure to fix the problem. Earth is a scary place for stuffed animals, if an adult sees them running around talking, the rules demand that they lose their self-awareness and turn into plain stuffed animals with buttons for eyes exc. Inanimate stuffed creatures can be taken back to UNDERBED and brought back to life by the ORACLES— thee wise old seamstresses. 3 \ 1 &SOLOMON FIX He is enthusiastic about fixing other people's problems id matter How Se¥Sonal.
