Well, it's been a crazy few weeks, but a good crazy. Now that I'm on the other side of the semester, I'm looking forward to updating you on how things have been here in my neck of the woods. But for now, here's a follow up to my Vegetable Soup post from last year. Clips from the episodes are now available on YouTube.com. Come take a look at the very well meaning and yet strangely terrifying children's programming I grew up on.
Crash Landing:
The March to the Throne:
The Trail is Discovered:

Neil, thank you, thank you, thank you. I think Outerscope is probably one of the most creepy puppet narratives ever produced, but I am a slave to it nonetheless.
Strange, kinky dialogue between a dustpan and a brush in episode 6:
"As I was telling you, Missus Tidy, I enjoy doing a nice. thorough brushing before breakfast..."
What the crap.

I'm jealous. I only had the Banana Splits:

While still slightly on the topic of strange/funny/entertaining shows, I thought I'd share a link to "Borat meets Regis."

We seem to be related... I was sent here by my friend who is an editor at Penguin and was amused when I explained that my father was your father's cousin (not sure what that make us, very distant relations apparently). Anyway, saw the post about creepy puppet animation...and, well.... I'm a toy designer and illustrator so it landed home for me I guess. I'm a collector of weird animation.
Nice to "meet" you, Nick.

Anna, that makes you guys second cousins, I believe. I'm in contact with several of my parents cousin's kids, so I've had to learn what second cousins and first cousins twice removed, etc. means :)
