Cartoon Island - A Surreal Comedy of Survival

Cartoon Islandcartoonislandpod.com

Lost on a tiny, two-tree island, hapless castaways, Jason and Bradney, struggle to make it through each strange day in this immersive improvised comedy of errors. 


Every morning, boxes mysteriously wash up on shore. The items inside are pretty useless. The island is a bit weird. 


They have absolutely no idea where they are and very little idea of what to do. 


With only the junk they unbox and a few coconuts each, simply surviving is a real surreal challenge. 


Welcome to Cartoon Island.


New episodes transmitted every other Tuesday.

Day 11 - Freebie Willy & Freebie Willy 2

Day 10 - It's just like that one Nietzsche quote

Following the trauma of encountering the indescribable, incomprehensible horrors of his underwater outing, Bradney seems a little different today. Maybe he's finally warming up to this place. Maybe he's just completely disassociating. It's hard to say. Jason isn't a qualified...well, anything really. Perhaps Bradney can talk to his catch o' the day... Oh and there's a pretty shattering discovery at the end too. This place just doesn't let up, does it? You can contact Subjects Jason and Bradney b...

Day 9 - Gettin' Loopy or Felt Cute, Might Attack Later

A funny little hand puppet arrives in one of the boxes. And it doesn't exactly go well. In fact, it goes very, very badly. Also, the two castaways take turns taking a dip with their new snorkel. Their experiences couldn't be more different. Seems like Bradney's mind is really starting to break. Or maybe this is is all really happening. It's all just sort of a mess. Again.

Day 6 - Row, row, row...

The best laid (escape) plans of mice and men often go awry. Or turn out to be cake. This cruel joke seems a bit behind trend. But time is also weird on the island. So who knows?
