What's a Wooket?
Well,
Wooket is actually the pen name of cartoonist Terry Willis the creator and
illustrator of the cartoons known as "A Herd of Laughter®"
He was given the nick name by his Grandpa back when he was just
a little guy. You see, Terry had troubles pronouncing the letter
'L'. So instead of saying," Look it Grampa!" , it always
came out as "Wooket Grumpa" and the name stuck.
Terry is a member of the National Cartoonist Society and illustrates professionally in a wide variety of mediums. He lives in
a suburb outside of Vancouver, BC Canada,
He creates his weekly panel A Herd fo Laughter along with a multitude of other design, graphic illustrations and graphic media. Contact

History
Wooket started out as a T-shirt company back in 1988 and as a matter
of fact, we still make t-shirts today.
However over the years Wooket has expended its creative abilities
to a variety of other areas. In essence, we sell creativity. Be it
product and packaging design, advertising illustration, copy or brand development, if it's creative we have a role to play.
Terry Willis is the creator of the line called," A Herd of
Laughter®"and the brand name of Wooket. Terry started out in 1988 designing cartoon
images on T-shirts for local businesses. People seemed to really
like the cow characters used in some of the scenes. Soon after a
"Herd" was born. Many years passed and "A Herd of Laughter®"
gained popularity in the homes and on the backs of fun loving individuals
and cow lovers in Canada ,the United States Australia, New Zealand
and the United Kingdom. The "Herd" eventually developed into an
apparel line, greeting cards and even a syndicated cartoon panel
distributed by Wooket to over 300 weekly newspapers and publications.
There is even an Ice Cream line called A Herd of Laughter Ice Cream
which features all the same characters in very tasty situations.
With all the success of the A Herd of Laughter, Wooket now consults
for other companies looking to revitalize their product lines.
