Under the Wire

I’ve been meaning to blog about Mr. Sir and The Unexpected Encounter by Walter Benson for almost a year now. With THAC 11 around the corner, I thought it might be a nice reminder of the great stuff that gets made in a single day every year.

What makes this short stand out is the character design and brick-built mouth animation. I also find his screaming really amusing. So much so that it inspired me to finally start a Vine account so I could make it loop forever:
