The Weebl’s Stuff gang has released a new cartoon that I’m hoping turns into a series. A Walk in the Woods is the mother of all scat-humor shorts, and according to the weebls-stuff.com homepage, Jonti Picking is certain its his best short so far.

You may know Xeth’s previous work which includes Queer Duck: The Movie, Hard Drinkin’ Lincoln and his recently revamped original series Papu Smash.
