In "Chicken, Pickle, Duck & Bob", we follow the journey of an absentminded pirate captain, and his trusty crew - a chicken, a cat, a duck, and a dog, as the scour the Seven Seas for their misplaced treasure.
The forgetful Pirate Captain has a heart of gold but a memory of seaweed. One day, waking from his map, he can’t find his beloved treasure map, sending him and his quirky crew on a hilarious, round-the-world adventure.
The Captain’s loyal crew consists of Chicken, a feisty and courageous chicken with a knack for getting into trouble; Pickle, a cunning and mischievous cat who always lands on his feet; Duck, a wise and resourceful duck with an insatiable curiosity; and Bob, a pug with a heart of gold and a love for belly rubs.
As they voyage from one exotic location to another, The Captain's forgetfulness became both a curse and a blessing. In their search for the map, they stumbled upon ancient ruins, discovered hidden treasures, and encountered peculiar creatures. Despite their setbacks and comedic mishaps, their unwavering friendship and determination kept them going.
Along the way, they encountered Captain Bumblebeard, a rival pirate with a reputation for stealing treasure. With a twinkle in his eye, The Pirate Captain challenges Captain Bumblebeard to a friendly competition. The winner will not only claim the lost treasure but also earn the title of the greatest pirate in all the Seven Seas.
In a thrilling climax, the crew discovers the treasure is back where they started, buried under the Captain’s hammock. With the treasure in their grasp, they celebrate their victory and honor the Captain’s remarkable ability to turn forgetfulness into an unforgettable adventure.
A series of lessons in geography, map reading, and spatial thinking, disguised as a delightful children’s tale with characters who learn along with their audience.

Join Us! At Macguffin Co., we curate promising Concepts to develop into books, films, games, and merchandise.
If the Concept is greenlit, it means we think we have something - a character, a storyline, a world - worth investing time, energy and money to fully develop. So we’ll work with an SEC registered intermediary to launch an investment offering. An Offering is an invitation to invest in a share of the future revenue of the franchise.
With the capital raised, we’ll assemble a creative team to fully develop the franchise and license the intellectual property rights to media partners, generating returns for you, the creative team, and investors.
The entire creative process, from Concept to Offering, is covered in Guff’s Character Issues, and sent to Macguffins’ in-boxes weekly.
