Cartoon Dump is a twisted take on the children's shows of yesteryear.
Through story and song Compost Brite (Erica Doering), Moodsy the Clinically Depressed Owl (Frank Conniff), and Buff badger (Kathleen Roll) teach important lessons about love, friendship, and self mutilation. Craptastic vintage cartoons are screened between sketches (curated by cartoon historian Jerry Beck) and fun is had by all!
