Zorb & Gorb
Zorb & Gorb (formerly Phraggle Rock), at its simplest, is two best friends engaging in the wild world of improv storytelling. These are the books we wish we had the time and discipline to write. Our improvised tall tales are filled with everything from time travel, magic pigs, snail farmers, butter barons, and a whole lot more. Although all our stories are always unique, they are 100% unpredictable. Some are trainwrecks on a colossal scale, but at least they are always a damn good time. Grab a beverage of your choice, take seat by the campfire, and get ready to hear some wild sh*t.
