| The Pinky Show |
Hi there. The Pinky Show is the original super low-tech mini-program by cats. We tend to focus on information and ideas that have, for various reasons, been misrepresented, distorted, suppressed, ignored, or otherwise excluded from mainstream discussion. Or sometimes we just have meandering fluff. Featuring "...the strangely titillating combination of poorly hand(paw?)-drawn illustrations, no-motion animation, and amateurish narration, they are the new Mr. Rogers for the postmodern thinking animal... (NTVV)". I think that's a pretty fair description. Take care, Pinky
