Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bottersnikes and Gumbles is a short series of books by Australian children's author S. A. Wakefield.Set in the distant wilderness of the Australian outback, the books tell the story of the conflicts between two groups of weirder-than-average Australian Wildlife; the Bottersnikes, fat, cantankerous, scaly, tip-dwelling slobs with cheese-grater noses, wire-brush tails and long pointy ears that glow red and get hot when they are angry, which is most of the time, and their polar opposites the Gumbles; good-natured, cheerful creatures that resemble lumps of dough both in appearance and malleability; they can be squished or squeezed like putty without doing them any real harm, though they may require help to return to their original shape.The series contains four books, each covering an arc of conflict or circumstance; Bottersnikes and Gumbles the original book, Gumbles on Guard wherein the Gumbles take it upon themselves to help defend a Lyrebird's nest from a local fox, Gumbles in Summer where everyone's trying to avoid the heat and Gumbles in Trouble which sees the Bottersnikes try to escape the breaking of the drought by moving into an old barn. Hilarity Ensues.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The books where eventually collected into an omnibus in 1996. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Bottersnikes And Gumbles / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Australian Biology: And how! These might be some of the strangest creatures in children's fiction. Bottersnikes have ears that turn red and get hot when they are angry, tufts of wiry hair at the ends of their tails and short squat noses shaped like cheese graters. They routinely eat garbage and rusty metal, even going so far as to barbecue mattress stuffing. They also shrink when wet. Gumbles by comparison are relatively straightforward; they are flexible and malleable like chewing gum or bread dough, with bones (and presumably internal organs) that accommodate this somehow. They can work together when necessary to form self-tying ropes or even a much larger single creature. | |

Black-and-White Morality | |
| Bottersnikes And Gumbles / int_7abd339f | comment |
Black-and-White Morality: Downplayed because it's a children's book but it's a good rule of thumb that the Gumbles are good and kind while the Bottersnikes are bad and mean. | |
