Well, that’s how the visual style of this video by Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyard is described. If you’re in to process, you can check out the making of video here. It’s part of an ad for Verizon wireless internet, but don’t hold that against it.

Greg already gave us quite a lot of nice YouTube stuff, so I’ll just throw in one really nice one that reader Aaron Bibb sent in to me last week.
