About
Our cartoon series follows the misadventures of a colorful cast of locals trying to manage day to day life in a small town while being surrounded by tourists, elites, border patrol, self absorb artists, cults, aliens, and more!
Impact
Our project will help shed light in a hilarious cartoony way on the impact of gentrification within small communities
Progress
We currently have raised $10k via kickstarter and produced a short proof of concept episode Watch here: https://youtu.be/qqCAspH1MNs?si=Esw3N_K2O3Z-cNsb
