The origins of why jeremy? comes from West London, the parking bays behind McDonalds and the Esso garage on the A4 towards Heathrow to be more precise..
where a few happening dudes (self described!) got together after working the late shifts at a local car rental company.
Sharing more than 'points of view' they discussed how it would be funny to draw a stickman stroking his cat and call it 'Pussy Lover'.
As the 'Happening Dudes' were quite learned and open minded added to this concept by changing the stickman to a female,the image concept still worked under the 'Pussy Lover' concept which could should would appeal to the gay/lesbian peoples out there.The original 5 images are displayed in the banner at the top, these never went beyond test prints.
The potential was soon realised.

Whilst frequenting a local ale establishment The 'Happening Dudes' discussed a brand name.they laughed,they moaned,they groaned and nothing was sticking -(sorry!).Then it happened....
The hypnotic notes playing in the background made themselves heard...Pearl Jam. Jeremy. - A classic.

'Dude! What about calling the stickman 'jeremy' and use it in the brand name?'
'Why Jeremy?
'Mate! why jeremy dats awesome, you da man!'
'Fu£%&ng smart! Need to put a ? at the end though.
