This 2nd episode of season 4 is one of my favorites of all 32 episodes in the catalog. Hell, even cat lovers will like this one. Here’s Pussy Magnet.

A nice start. At least that’s how the Dick Figures guys see it. And now they’re back with 10 all-new episodes, kicked off with this new trailer and a chance to see the first episode early (details at the new Dick Figures website).

Conceived by Tom Hanks (via Playtone and Reliance), and directed by Six Point Harness director Joel Trussell, the 20-part Electric City saga takes us to a post-apocalyptic, dystopian world where topics of energy consumption and freedom of information are bubbling to the surface. I get the feeling that Yahoo wasn’t quite ready for this to be seen, as some of the links at the bottom of the teaser page are dead. We’ll apparently be invited into a labrynth of puzzles, clues and community engagement.

[UPDATE - both the teaser page and this video below are now offline]

It was lead by the amazing team at Psyop, but I’ve heard through the grapevine that the gang at Six Point Harness in Hollywood handled the 2D animation on the project. I’ve contacted the 6PH for the scoop, but I haven’t been able to verify this. But if it is in fact true – brilliant work, everyone. Here’s the spot titled Everyone, which includes a whole village of classic animated characters including Peanuts, He-man, Pepé Le Pew, Scooy Doo, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian, Richie Rich and too many others to name.

As you pack up yer shit, how about one for the road? Here’s Chug-A-Chug-A-Brew-Brew, the latest Dick Figures episode, which takes us to the wild west, where the booze train is about to collide with the Red Express.

You have too much to live for. Yes, it’s the end of Goodbye Kitty… season 1. Will there be another season? You’ll have to wait and see, but in the meantime, check out the big season finale, Kittycide, which I’d argue is the best of the batch. Big ups to the series creator Todd Goldman, writer Greg Grabianski, directors Mike Nassar and John Martinez and the whole gang at Six Point Harness who helped bring this first season to life (and death).

You know – Red and Blue’s impossible challenge from Zeus to climb Mt. Olympus. What did you think I meant? Sheessh! Here’s Zeusbag:

Cenac drops us off at Medieval Times, the party place that will apparently soon be serving Funyuns and 40s. The clip was pulled out of Cenac’s performance DVD Wyatt Cenac: Comedy Person, which dropped back in August.
