Learning the conventions of cartooning and being given the opportunity to conceptualize the characters and develop a cartoon strip from scratch was a challenge Pippa Lugg had hoped to tackle one day.

General Motors commissioned Pippa to develop a cartoon strip

Pippa created five 'Transformer' characters: Carol (the HR lady), Sipho (the older, wise man), Mike (the young technical oke), Gloria (the always have the last word woman) and Attie (the funny man of the group).

In the case of the General Motors 'Transformers', the client decides on the wording for the cartoon strips and Pippa uses the characters to convey the message humorously.
