Watercolor and all

Folk Tale World is the setting of The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington.

Folk Tale World is a product of Strong Sad's imagination with some embellishments from Coach Z. It is portrayed in a watercolor art style. As far as we know, it consists of a town, a lake and a forest. Populating Folk Tale World are Saddy Dumpington, The Townsfolk, The Mayor, A Little Girl, The Dancing Brothers and various woodland creatures (most of which he calls "(Animal) Joe"). (The "watercolor" art is produced using vector graphics, just like all the other animation, but overlaid with a low-opacity bitmap to make the canvas texture.)

Citizens of Folk Tale World

Name	Description	Image
Saddy Dumpington	See main article: Saddy Dumpington
A Little Girl	This Little Girl appeared in A Folky Tale and was made sad by Saddy Dumpington. She is not to be confused with Little Girl.
The Squirrel	This is the orphaned squirrel from A Folky Tale. Saddy made soup out of his family.
The Dancing Brothers	See main article: The Dancing Brothers
The Mayor	As the name implies, he is the mayor of Folky Tale Town. The Mayor (literally) kicks Saddy Dumpington out of town because he is so depressing.
Mr. Cricket	This is Mr. Cricket, who can be assumed to have had his legs yanked off by Saddy in A Folky Tale. Fortunately, crickets have no central nervous system, so he would have felt no pain.
Fox Joe	This is Fox Joe. He lives in the forest to which Saddy was sent. He might have been subject to one of Saddy's depressing encouragements, but luckily was interrupted by the Dancing Brothers.
Weird Snake Joe	This is Weird Snake Joe from A Folky Tale. Saddy dressed as Weird Snake Joe because he thought that weird snakes are miserable and depressing. The townsfolk didn't think so.
The Townsfolk	These are the Townsfolk from A Folky Tale. They began laughing uncontrollably when Saddy left. They laughed so much when he came back dressed as Weird Snake Joe that they became permanently unconscious.
Turkey Joe	This turkey appeared in Toikey TV. He panics when Saddy tells him of his plans to rip out his entrails, grind them up with some rosemary and sage, and shove them back inside him.
