What happens

Ox Tales, also known as The Tales of Boes' Gang (げらげらブース物語, Geragera Būsu Monogatari) is an anime television series produced by Telecable Benelux B.V. and animated by Telescreen Japan. It was a co-production between Japan and the Netherlands based on the comic strip Boes created by Wil Raymakers and Thijs Wilms. The series ran on the Japanese network TV Tokyo from 7 April 1987 to 29 March 1988. It consists of 102 fifteen-minute episodes, that were regularly broadcast as 51 half-hour shows of two episodes each. The series currently has two English dubs: a 1989 dub produced by Saban Entertainment and the 2010 dub produced by m4e, the then-current owner of the Telescreen library. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
