Hey there chaps. (I can't believe some of you haven't subbed yet 😪😪)Thanks for stopping by and watching. It may not be good business these days but KZbin is still my platform and I will keep releasing here. I'm already halfway through another cartoon and have another instalment from my most popular series planned, written and storyboarded. If you're still watching then I'm still making them. If you want a bunch of extra stuff like unreleased stuff, forgotten videos, full soundtracks to all my cartoons then consider subscribing to my Patreon www.patreon.com/davidfirth - it keeps this as my job.
