Koziolek Matolek

A Polish children's comic book character created in 1933 Kornel Makuszyński (story) and Marian Walentynowicz (art). Adopted into a cartoon series that ran from 1969-1971.

The main character is an anthropomorphic goat that is on his way to the town of Pacanów, where he would get his hooves shoed. A bumbling, naive character like Winnie the Pooh, his adventures were surreal like a Dali painting and would take him around the world.

Tropes used in Koziolek Matolek include:

• Deranged Animation: Not to mention the animation is a bit off sometimes. Just adds to the surreal charm.
• Eating Contest: He wins a duel with an Indian chief by turning it into a grass-eating competition.
• Ho Yay: In an episode called Upał (meaning 'Heat'), he arrives to a town and tries to find a way to cool off. Later, he spots a donkey which seemed to be his friend considering their reaction to upon seeing each other. After shaking hands, you can actually see them kiss! Lip to lip, no kidding.
• No Export for You: 3 DVDs of the animated series are available internationally but there are no English subtitles nor translation. The original comic books have not been translated as well.
• The Wild West: The setting of the episode Czarny Bill.
• You Fail Physics Forever: It really doesn't matter, it's part of the rule of funny.
