About DeFlocked
“It’s like your life. With more lint.”
"DeFlocked" is about one sheep’s quest to pull the wool over the world’s eyes. Mamet is the fleecy, larger-than-life star of this interspecies comedy, where four of society’s biggest misfits somehow try to become family. Set on an old forgotten farm, "DeFlocked" follows the exploits of dog brothers Cobb and Rupert and the human boy Tucker as they wrestle with relationships, pop culture, and the daily injustices of life, all while cleaning up the disasters left behind by the most desperate sheep in the history of comics.
Originally based on Hippocrates’ “Four Humors,” the four main players of "DeFlocked" are all archetypes of universal personalities. Everyone will find a character they can relate to in "DeFlocked." Corriveau used Hippocrates’ method, along with some of the greatest TV comedies of our time, as inspirations for his critically popular comic strip.
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Seinfeld" creator Larry David is one of the legions of fans of this “modern newspaper sitcom.” Spend some time with the farm-raised absurdity of "DeFlocked," and you’ll become a fan too.
Meet Jeff Corriveau
Jeff Corriveau grew up in rural New England surrounded by green pastures and cornfields. Between the occasional cow chip war with friends (it’s exactly what you think), Corriveau would devour endless "Peanuts" anthologies from the local library. This is where Jeff first learned about sarcasm. And overdue book fines.
After school, Corriveau moved to Los Angeles and lucked his way into becoming a TV comedy writer. Corriveau eventually became the co-head writer of the Emmy-winning comedy show "Talk Soup." He also spent many memorable years as a contributing writer for "Weekend Update" on “Saturday Night Live,” Jay Leno’s "Tonight Show," and "The Late Late Show." But his New England roots never left his soul. Neither did his love for "Peanuts."
After a miserable writing experience on a "Top 100 Celebrity Moments" basic cable special, Corriveau's career would pivot forever. It was then that he experienced the one ground-shaking event that would forever alter his life: the birth of his first daughter. Corriveau created his first comic strip out of a need to connect to both his past and future. He wanted to bring life to something that would make his daughter proud. And he knew Hollywood was no place to raise a family (no matter how well it turned out for the Bradys).
Three children and a return to his beloved New England later, Corriveau creates "DeFlocked" surrounded by pastures and cornfields. And he looks forward to his first cow chip war with his kids.
