Impressionistic and dreamlike, the stories in Cake explore the complexities of love and relationships in contemporary society. Linked by a sense of regret, these characters are at the mercy of their desires and uncertain longings, often with disastrous results. A young couple experiences town politics, group dynamics, and their own insecurities through a seemingly innocuous holiday ritual in "Snowflake." "Talent Show" introduces us to a series of unnamed women, their dreams and aspirations summed up in a few deceptively simple lines. One life leads into another, until we return to where we began, like a cinematic pan across a landscape of ambition gone awry.The imagery in these compact and highly visual stories ranges from the everyday to the surreal. "Buena Vista Notebook" deftly blends language and word play with the story of doomed love affairs, culminating in a chance meeting that is random yet somehow not unexpected. And "Job" relates the story of what is perhaps the most unusual meeting of two naked people in recent fiction. Comic and yet sad, its hero experiences a moment of painful clarity in the most unlikely of circumstances.Questions of identity, love, and the nature of existence may never be answered fully (in life or in fiction), but each of these stories presents a psychological turning point, often just a fleeting moment, sometimes more bitter than sweet. And in that moment the characters are brought that much closer to the answers to some of those questions. Emotionally taut and infused with poetic imagery, Cake is a bold debut and a portrait of the crisis of the modern relationship.

Wallace's Ping Pong O'Matic Automated Home Leisure System has hiccuped badly during field trials. Then, when the pigeons next door ruin Gromit's washing, man and dog face a hefty bill. So when they see an invitation to attend an Invention Convention -- with a big cash prize for the best invention -- they have no choice but to enter. So begins Anoraknophobia, which brings the pair face-to-eyepatch with the sinister Herr Doktor Count Baron Napoleon von Strudel, inventor of the Acme Utility Anorak, and his scary, spider-taming wife, Queenie. The so-called von Strudels seem strangely familiar to Wallace, however. And our heroes soon find themselves entangled in Operation S.P.A.R.R.O.W, a diabolically evil plan to brainwash the cream of British brainpower -- with serious implications for the future of table tennis and other indoor sports.

This is a comic writen by Davies Tristan. The Well Know Characters are from Nick Park. It is a typical Wallace and Gromit Story and especially the humour... I love it to bits. Its Cracking...! The first Story is a about wallace missing one slipper and is looking for it... in the past with his timemachine contraption... And ofcourse it goes haywire and they ended in the Norman time 1066 and after a adventure they escape to another time history and found out that all his ancestors are missing one shoe or slipper.... Very funny. The second story is another contraption adventure that I still have to take jet.
