The Man Who Loves the Core

The Man Who Loves the Core was a long-running animated comic series made by Tangent starting from when they were in primary school. The first Man Loves Core comic (not animated) was created at school on a worksheet. It was soon transported to the PowerPoint medium to add animation to it. It was Tangent's earliest comic series and later inspired their other animated comics (including the still-surviving ones currently on Youtube). A related series was The Andersons, which had Mrs Anderson as the tsukkomi (the normal person) and Mr Anderson as the boke (the crazy one) in a traditional Japanese comedy duo. While The Andersons had nothing to do with Man Loves Core, The Andersons was also a series that ran for some time and was, like Man Loves Core, one of Tangent's hobbies at the time.

The Man Who Loves the Core was soft-sci-fi, with each episode having The Man, and later his team of friends, explore different planets in search of the planet cores and bringing them back home in a usually safe way. Each planet has its own style of alien that was different from other planets. In the first episode, The Man met the wizard (name forgotten) who taught him a spell (that references Harry Potter spells) to cool down planet cores. At one point, Tangent's mother was invited to give the characters a redesign, which was adopted for most subsequent episodes.
