Coming to The Bark

The Two Auld Coos.

Auld Angus is the cynic: older, grumpier and permanently unimpressed. Cootoo is the wind-up merchant: deceptively laid-back and always looking for his next target.

Two Highland cows. One field. Absolutely nae fucks given.

Cootoo: “D'ye think they'll like us?”

Auld Angus: “I was hoping they wouldnae find us.”

A word from the host

Bali Hok, at your service. Allegedly.

Welcome to the Hokkerverse. We've got an island full of characters, a town full of gossip and a newspaper that probably shouldn't be allowed near a printing press.

Make yourself at home. Just don't leave your whisky bottle unattended.

The Bark · Hoksville's least restrained publication

HOKSVILLE BRACES FOR VISITORS. LOCALS DENY RESPONSIBILITY.

News, gossip, comic strips and thoroughly unnecessary commentary. The Bark is preparing its first dispatch.

Meet the Hokkers

Meet the residents, their rivalries and the occasional unlikely friendship.

Hoksville

Every town has its characters. Hoksville has rather more than its fair share.

The Bark

News, gossip and matters of questionable public importance, including The Two Auld Coos.

An invitation, of sorts

Be there when it begins.

Sign up for the launch, new stories from The Bark, book news and the occasional message the residents probably should not have sent.
