The young lady of Welling

There was a Young Lady of Welling,
Whose praise all the world was a-telling;
She played on the harp, and caught several Carp,
That accomplished Young Lady of Welling.

– Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)

Hot Buttered Toast: Nonsense Stories 10

Image

ARG! producer-director Artie Romero illustrates “Hot Buttered Toast” on a whiteboard.

There was an Old Man of the Coast,
Who placidly sat on a post;
But when it was cold he relinquished his hold,
And called for some hot buttered toast.

– Edward Lear
A Book of Nonsense (1846)

Producer-director Artie Romero of ARG! Cartoon Animation LLC quickly illustrated Edward Lear’s 1846 limerick on a whiteboard, then wrote and directed episode 10 of Edward Lear’s Nonsense Stories, “Hot Buttered Toast.” The cartoon features almost two minutes of very detailed animation by Andrew Woolnough. All of the funny voices were created by celebrity voice impressionist Ron Hayden of Providence, Rhode Island.

This short is notable as the longest cartoon in the ELNS series thus far, and it’s jam-packed with gags and action. See the cartoon on YouTube:
