Episode- 100,000 LP Record Shelves

Zweegle & Fark, At Your Service:

You know how sometimes you'll be telling your five year old a bedtime story when you go off-book for awhile, and before long everyone your child knows becomes a cast member in the slumber tale? Well, last night yours truly became Zweegle the Eagle, and Peter became the Dark Fark in his child's nighttime circumlocutical fantasy. No, I don't know what that word means either. All I can say is we dug in the sand at the beach down below the water line to find a series of misadventures leading to the lost city of Phunkeytown.
All of this, however, has zero to do with today's Bench Dogs episode. Oddly enough, this episode is the very first one we filmed once we came up with the idea to pass on our knowledge, before we even had the name Bench Dogs! (tm)  Sad but true. Funny how some projects get put to the side for awhile, only to be pursued with fire down the road, don't you think?  The can crusher creation comes sorely to mind... when am I even going to release a Can Crusher update, never mind designing a working model?
But Peter, bless his heart, put together a mini episode-- more of a trailer, actually-- based on this footage, long ago. You might recognize a few seconds of video here and there.  No complaints-- this is not a repeat, and it's not a flashback episode. It's new. I swear.
