Because Flem’s surname coincidentally matched that of the company, Alan feared legal action and preemptively designated Flem co-founder and mascot of Mr. Buttersworth Productions.
Flem does not speak or understand English. He is a completely inessential part of the team.
Alan is equal parts thinker, worker, and creative. He and Mr. Buttersworth are dedicated to shaping the public’s sensibilities to suit their own weird tastes in comedy. Mr. Buttersworth Productions is particularly interested in comedians who do stand-up, sketch, and performance-based comedy.
Mr. Buttersworth Productions is also a full service adoption agency. Just putting it out there.
