This is as much an animation to listen to as watch as this gent finds his face stretched, spun, shrunk, shredded and generally manipulated. He serenades us with a song about his visage - one that looks like it might be suffering from a bit of gout, and about that of his beloved with some fun rhymes to accompany these colourful contortions. From what I could tell, there’s not really any story as such here, it’s more a collection of enjoyably zany and abstract cartoons from an imaginative Bill Plympton loosely connected by a neck and an only occasionally connected torso. Visually, it’s a bit like one of those kaleidoscope toys you had as a kid where shapes change randomly but still with some symmetry and order to them. It’s an enjoyable few minutes of skilful drawing.
