The Dirt on Mom
Junior (voice)
Pipecleaner Dad finds that Mom has dug up the backyard and converted it into an archeological site. Her latest find: a giant plastic-handled screw driver from an age long gone by. Mom's success as an Archeologist seems to fluster Dad, almost as though his job wasn't as important.

Wire We Here
Dad and Junior (voice)
A comic parody of our modern search for our creator. Two characters, made completely out of pipe cleaners and totally unaware that they are being controlled by outside forces, gradually begin to realise that there might be more to their existence than the cardboard world they inhabit. Should they cross the edge of the set and risk losing very thing they have known and loved, simply to find out "who did all this?".
