Toonhound - Astro Farm (1992-1993)

       "Astro farm! Astro Farm!
      It's a very special place..."

     Astro Farm is a special place in space. It's a farm on a distant asteroid, and
     it's home to the Foxwood family - that's Sam and Lizzie and their son Tom.
     Tom has a cool space dog pal called Dinko. The pooch has a red nose,
     and he wears a trendy space cap. And as you'd expect, there are all kinds
     of crazy critters around the farm, like the large pink Big Moo called Daisy
     who can produce flavoured milk, and inumerable cosmic chickens, called
     Clucks. The family utilise all sorts of super creations to help with their
     harvesting, like hover belts and machines which shrink grain sacks, and
     they're not opposed to bringing in Plutonian Flying Pig to help them, on
     occasion.

     On this funky farm, there are all kinds of galactic troubles to contend
     with, like blowing solar winds and Black Hole Moles. But worst of all, there
     are the Gorps - Biff and Slodger - two meddling aliens from the nearby
     asteroid of Gorpdale which is permanently miserable and dank - in contrast
     to the sunny pink farm. They'll do anything they can to get their hands on
     the family's vegetables - slurp!...
