Back in February when Will Arbuckle and his pal Andy Dennis released the first episode, I called their Flash-animated show Cuboy “one of the more unique shorts I’ve seen in a while.” I’ll double-down on that, and gush a little more - the beautifully bizarre world of Cuboy has all of the ingredients to be become a Homestar-like breakout web hit. I’ll detail those ingredients - a weirdo, bong-ready world filled with an iconic hero, t-shirt ready phrases like “slightly cloudy with a chance of Cuboy,” an entirely engaging sonic experience (those transitions are almost as fun as the show), and a growing cast of twisted freaks.

Episode two, titled Super Duper Trooper, introduces us to a few of those twisted freaks - Super Tom and Esquire Padrino.

I’ll set the egg-timer for some smart web portal to start funding this series. And…. go.

And now for something completely different. Will Arbuckle, a 23 year old out of Glasgow, UK, has a hit on his hands over at Newgrounds.com, where his latest short Cuboy Ep.1 just launched. The look of the show, the transitions and the unusual characters combine to deliver one of the more unique shorts I’ve seen in a while.

Head on over to Arbuckle’s Edible Castle website to see more animation. Andy Dennis provides the voice of Cuboy, and also writes for Edible Castle.
