New shirt from Just Okay Company

Picked up this awesome Over The Garden Wall t-shirt from Just Okay Company.  They had a booth set up at a local market, and I couldn't pass it up.

They are currently taking online pre-orders for this shirt, which you can get here.

Here's a few other autumnal designs available on their website that I loved. Click each image for their respective store pages:

Now Watching: Over The Garden Wall

I've been needing a comfort watch, and there's nothing comfier than Over The Garden Wall. 

If you haven't seen it, I recommend avoiding any trailers, as going into it blindly really adds to the viewing experience (you'll see what I mean).   If you want a glimpse into the concept, click here for a spoiler-free post I made last year.

If you'd like to watch the first chapter of the two-hour-long miniseries, Cartoon Network has published it on YouTube.  The rest of the show can be streamed with a Hulu or HBO Max subscription, or by purchasing on Prime Video. (I have also seen it available in DVD form at public libraries)

Now Watching: Over The Garden Wall

It's about time I talk about Over The Garden Wall.

Created by Patrick McHale, this ~2 hour Emmy award-winning animated miniseries is such an Autumnal treasure.  It feels like an ode to olde Americana, somehow familiar but still mysterious.  

The art and animation style feels old, in a good way (think classic Merry Melodies).  And I am constantly listening to the soundtrack by The Blasting Company.

Without spoiling any plot points, I can say that there is a great mix of light and dark moments throughout, weaving a timeless story, brought to life by an all-star voice cast.

For the best viewing experience, don't watch any trailers!

Here's some of the background art for the show, by Nick Cross.

And I can't help but post just one little screenshot from the series:

"Patient is the night"

If you'd like to watch the first chapter (episode) of the show, Cartoon Network has published it on YouTube.  The rest of the show is available with a Hulu or HBO Max subscription, or by purchasing on Prime Video. (Or just pick it up from the library! Do people go to libraries any more?)
