KINGFIELD — Rolling Fatties’ “Word Buzz” series continues on Thursday, Jan. 4, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. with O’Chang Comics, creators of “Temp Tales.”

“Temp Tales” are the animated stories of Maine life and seasonal work created by Hanji Chang and Andy O’Brien. These short cartoon videos are funny — capturing the conversations, lingo and creators’ experiences working jobs on the coast of Maine, from “Meat Recall” to “Stahmageddon” to “Smelt’n.”  Content and language are best suited for adults.

The creators will be at Rolling Fatties to answer questions, tell their story, sell merch, drum up support for their proposed full-length animated movie, and do ‘whatevah.’  

Hanji Chang is a Taiwanese-Korean painter, illustrator, graphic designer and an animator. She is the co-founder of O’Chang Studios, which produces the popular  web series as well as educational and commercial animations. She also teaches animation at Maine College of Art.

Andy O’Brien is a writer, voice actor and co-founder of O’Chang Studios. In addition to his work on “Temp Tales” he is also the managing editor of the Free Press, a weekly newspaper in Rockland. The O’Changs live in Rockland with their cat, Chairman Meow.

Rolling Fatties is at 268 Main St.

“Word Buzz” is an informal monthly chat with people in the word biz. Rolling Fatties donates 10 percent of sales during the event to Webster Library  in Kingfield.

The Feb. 1 “Word Buzz” is a Poetry Night featuring four local poets.
