The ARG! Cartoon Animation studio is hard at work right now on 12 commercial animation projects, but in our spare time (between midnight and 4:00 a.m.) we are, slowly but slowly, putting together 12 more webisodes of Nonsense Stories for the enjoyment of our many rabid fans! Because of the studio’s intense commercial production schedule, it was necessary to give up the weekly release schedule for Nonsense Stories. We will post each of them on Blip.TV as soon as they are completed. So stay tooned!
