Gonk is learning the letter V. Chatterton’s Lunar Bumwuffle is assisting.

This feels excessive.

👀 Learn the Alphabet. Woohoo!

New year. New look.

Full Gleeful Beasts lineup unlocked: shirts, outerwear, and Hawaiian gear for maximum visibility and zero blending in.

Grab the Glee! https://gleefulbeasts.com/shop/

Gonk does 6 7. He doesn’t get the trend but he feels it.

Drop a 6 7 if nonsense unites your soul.

Join the Glee! 🎉

I was lucky enough to have a small thing coming up in a new Smiling Friends episode. Until then, here's Allan (not the thing I made for the show, but still fun to play with!) 😊

T is for... 🌈 Gonk screamed so hard he phased into a whole new vibe.

Honestly? Inspirational.

✨ Drop a 🌈 if your enlightenment also sounded like yelling.

👀 Join the movement.

Today’s alphabet lesson brought to you by the letter R… Zero rhythm with maximum screaming.

Drop an 🔊 if your learning style is also “vibing loudly in confusion.”

👀 Join the party. Woohoo!

The letter Q: peaceful, calm, serene. Gonk: absolutely none of the above.

Drop your favorite “Q” word before everything starts shaking. 👀

Spotted: Ryan Corniel's Jesse Ventura puppet saving the day on Adult Swim’s Smiling Friends.

We’re lucky to have his brain leading Sans Strings by day, while his talents infiltrate adult animation by night.

Never know where they'll show up next. Catch it on HBO Max!

Before Fuzz-E stepped into the ring... we were just making puppets punch each other in real-time.

Then Summer Game Fest happened ▶️
