Bill Plympton
Plot
A mischievous man plays an assortment of extreme practical jokes on unsuspecting victims - like replacing one man's razor with a chainsaw.
Sinekatalog’s take
A breezy animated string of practical jokes, including swapping a razor for a chainsaw, drawn in a scribbly, absurd style. The gags are quick and dark. Funny and cheeky for fans of anarchic cartoons.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
