Oscar, a lizard, dwells in a composite desert landscape blending elements of the Sahara, Kalahari, and North American arid regions, bisected by an asphalt highway occasionally traversed by cargo trucks. His primary pursuits involve seeking sustenance and hydration; while he occasionally locates liquids in bottles or other containers, he is typically thwarted in his attempts to drink. The region’s sole source of fresh water is an oasis, but it remains inaccessible due to a dense population of aggressive, hungry crocodiles. Taking significant risks, as lizards are considered a delicacy by chickens, Oscar sometimes steals eggs from a nearby hen coop or explores trash piles scattered across the barren terrain. A trio consisting of Popy the fennec fox, Buck the vulture, and Harchi the hyena resides in a derelict school bus on a nearby hill. They primarily navigate the area in a discarded warehouse or grocery cart, powered by Harchi and steered by Popy. Like Oscar, they are in constant pursuit of food and water, often competing with the lizard, sometimes using him as a tool, and occasionally cooperating when it benefits them. The characters frequently experience cartoonish falls from cliffs, reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote chasing the Road Runner, where gravity is momentarily suspended until they recognize their impending doom.
