THOSE WHO THINK THAT CHILDREN DON’T LIKE SHARING ARE IN FOR A GOOD SURPRISE! THE PROOF? KINKY & COSY, TWO EXTRAORDINARY TWINS, WHO ARE GOING TO SHARE WHAT IS MOST PRECIOUS TO THEM : THEIR CANDIES THEIR BAD MANNERS! “THE KINKY & COSY EXPERIENCE “ IS AN EXCEPTIONAL ADVENTURE THAT TRAVELS ACROSS EUROPE IN A CON-TAINER!

“The Kinky & Cosy Experience” will trans-form you forever! Four great stages are waiting for you. Stage 1: We subtly start with a brainwash. Poof! Forget everything your parents and school have taught you! Stage 2: Now that we freed up some space, we will install the Kinky & Cosy thought sys-tem with a barrage of multiple-choice ques-tions. Wow! That went

fast! Stage 3: You deserve a break. Well, not really. Guised as fun and games, you will be subjected to intensive practice to

exercise your new-found knowledge. Now you are ready. Stage 4: The ultimate test. Your parents bet-ter watch you closely or be well-insured because you will be returned to them as a Kinky or a Cosy!

Weight: 6.000 kgDimensions ( W x L x H): 2,5m x 2,9m x 13.7mDuring installation, the container is placed on a jack and the truck is removed in the lengthwise direction. Space to maneuver: 31m. If this space is not available, the use of a crane can be considered. The area must be stable, more or less flat and must sustain the load. The installa-tion and removal of the exhibition lasts 4 hours.

For a good organization of the exhibition, the steward will let in 6 people, every 6 minutes. A visit runs through 4 rooms with synchronized presentations. When a presentation is over in one room, visitors are asked to move to the next room. Visi-tors will be guided through the four sta-ges. They are however free to roam within the container and leave the exhibition at any moment through two exits.

The maximum distance to an exit is 3 meters.

The exhibition is accessible to people with reduced mobility.

A candy « Car-en-sac » (by Haribo) will be offered to every visitor.

The quirky little sisters, Kinky and Cosy, manage to wreak havoc with all their naivety and innocence. Fearless and completely uninhibited, these cute little horrors waltz through life, causing mayhem and slapstick with their unfazed children’s logic. Surrounded by a large number of second-ary characters equally endearing and burlesque, the blond haired twins in their little red dresses invade the Flemish and French press daily in three-panel strips. Three small panels that’s all Nix need for a daily dose of nonsensical and politically incorrect humor !

Opinion of the press : « Like any good comic strip, Kinky & Cosy sometimes make us laugh and at other times make us smile, but each time it makes us reflect on the meaning of things.»

Ready to spice up your screen? Kinky & Cosy also exist in cartoons! No less than 500 episodes were created by Nix and his team, to charm the animation lovers. The 30-second episodes are the equivalent of the three-panels comic strip: quick, brutal and funny. In a 2D animation style that stays true to the books, the sisters are incorrigible. The series was sold to JIM (Belgium), Orange (France) and YLE (Finland).

With its edgy humour, Kinky & Cosy is a wacky and cool addition to JIM.

Luc Van Laer, JIM

Kinky & Cosy was created by Nix, Marnix Verduyn’s pseudonym, comic artist, born in Kortrijk (Flemish Belgium) in 1969. A student in Leuven, he already enjoyed a certain reputation as an illustrator and satirical cartoonist. Upon graduating, he opted for an engineering career in the telecommunications sector. But one never changes, and he ended up returning to his first love of drawing. After making all kinds of comics for newspapers and magazines, in 2001, he launched the Kinky & Cosy series, which soon became a cult suc-cess. Shortly after, the comic books about the world’s most dangerous twins were published by Le Lombard. In recent years, Nix had worked in Belgium, China, France and the USA to produce 500 animated episodes of Kinky & Cosy for television. Meanwhile, the author regularly draws his Billy Bob series for Spirou, about a little boy who dreams of being a cowboy and lives the most absurd adventures in the Far West.
