Since it was the first fully joyful and satisfactory incursion of Dave in the world of animation, the character has become a significant touchstone for him. The video has received numerous praises and was projected in animation festivals from around the world. To date, there is a lot of enthusiasm and affection for Mimi Wobbly and Friends, Dave is often arrested during his appearances with smiling and grateful faces. “It was such a simple and exciting experience to create the storyboards of the video. When I heard the song for the first time, there was a game of poignant guitar which evoked a crystalline image of a magnificent and chubby woman pushing lipstick on her fleshy lips. From there, the story of the video seemed to be completely written on its own!

Thus, when the "lucky 13th anniversary" of the release of the video arrived, Dave has created a whole new commemorative impression. This new illustration has aroused renewed interest in the character and his friends. This interest has encouraged Dave to start working on a pitch for a television series. During the thirteen years that followed the production of the video, Dave became executive producer of two children's television series, based on his own work. At first, it was difficult to imagine creating a world for Mimi and his friends, as the video is absurd and autonomous, but ultimately the dike has broken and a perfect environment and narration took shape. "Mimi Wobbly and Friends" is being launched.

The timing of all this new movement was perfect! When the good friend and publisher of Dave, Rodolphe Lachat, approached him to create a creator toy with him and golem, the new toy company of the legendary Michael Rouah, Dave knew exactly what to suggest. "The partners loved the idea and incredibly supported and worked hard for the release of the toy."

Seeing his drawings come to life in the hands of Golem sculptors was an exciting experience for the experienced professional. "The very first transmissions of the sketches were masterful-almost perfect, and very quickly, the sculpture became better than what I had dared to hope. I am so excited to share it with the world and to place it proudly above My own workstation, to keep me company and remember what is possible with my work.
