Origin[]

Blimpy was originally an actual statue in a museum of antiquities. A young numbskull called Tabby Taylor is inspired by reading the Greek myth of Pygmalion to try a magical formula on a statue himself- and the result is the creation of Blimpy.

Blimpy ran across a number of spies, criminals and other evildoers. His adventures were often very surreal and humourous, and Blimpy was no stranger to breaking the 4th wall.

Powers and Abilities[]

Blimpy "the Bungling Buddha" is an animated statue that has intelligence, free will and great strength.
