We wanted to try our hand at animation, so we made a few short stories that introduced each main character and put them together to form a greater whole. This was the result. At the time, we didn't think we'd make more than these couple of shorts. But we fell in love with the characters and the possibilities of what we can do with the form, and so, the show was born. But this pilot is where it all started, and if you've missed any of the previous shorts, now is a great time to watch and see how they all fit together. Starting next week and every week thereafter there will be new cartoons, vignettes, absurd dilemmas and all that jazz. But we wanted to share this first because this is where it all started. We also wanted to thank anyone who has supported the show thus far. If you've liked or shared or commented, it means the world, and it helps immensely. We've got big plans ahead and this is only the beginning of things. We hope you enjoy. Have a great day and thanks for your support. Written by Matthew Tenenbaum See less
