The fifth installment of Todd Ramsay’s Honkbarn series is out, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. Todd’s beautifully designed world is again paired with infectious music from Dave Girtsman, and we are now counting the minutes until Honkbarn 6.

As discussed here back in December, MyToons has announced their Bumper Blastoff Competition, and the deadline for entries has recently been extended until February 28th.

Todd Ramsay, the mastermind behind the Honkbarn series, took the challenge, and uploaded this short, musical bumper.

Now this is the way to kick-off 2008 - the fourth episode of Todd Ramsay’s musically-driven, Flash-animated series Honkbarn.

Honkbarn, one of the most unique series of 2007, has a new home. Honkbarn.com launched this month, and Todd Ramsay’s three episodes can be viewed there, along with his blog and some new merchandise. If you beg him, I’ll bet they make more handmade stuffed characters.

Episode 4 will reportedly be arriving later this month. Congrats to Todd on the site launch, and also on fatherhood!
