- Overview
- An ironic cartoon about the idyllic life of rural alcoholics. Early morning. Waking up hungover, a man catches a worm and goes fishing with his dog and cat. He baits the worm and sends it underwater... There's no bite and there won't be, but there will be friends with booze, a drunken tractor, underwater horrors, and a worm who's fed up with everything...
