Remember that one cartoon from the 2000s that you used to watch with your big brother while Mom was away? Remember the cool chrome-themed Windows XP
skin you really loved before going onto Newgrounds to watch said cartoon? Remember the wacky alien and furry characters you adored before you eventually
forgot about the cartoon that has been lost to time? No? Well, Zeurel happens to create that cartoon, although it wasn't made in the 2000s! It was made
in the present day, as of the 2020s!
Monkey Wrench is a comedy sci-fi animated series that follows the wild misadventures of Shrike, a Hispanic cephalopod-type alien, and Beebs, a large
walrus-humanoid alien, as they go across the galaxy in search for decent-paying jobs. However, there are armed ne'er-do-wells who will stand between
them and their next payout.
As much as The Amazing Digital Circus and other web animated series are discussed more, I personally believe that Monkey Wrench is a very underrated
show. I haven't learned about its existence until Boxing Day of 2023. That was when the third episode was released. Zeurel and his team of writers
and animators spent a lot of time and money creating this show, and that's why I'm staying tuned for the fourth episode as well as future ones. It also
reminds you of the Newgrounds cartoons that you may have watched as a kid (which tbh I never experienced that on my earlier time of the Internet lol)
or even the Saturday morning cartoons that your mom or dad watched as kids. However, like option A that I mentioned earlier, Monkey Wrench has that
perfect amount of edge without being considered for mature or adult audiences. It honestly gets a PG-13 or TV-14, lol.
I would say Shrike and Beebs as well as Scratch are probably my favorite characters. Shrike and Beebs definitely show that silly, aggressive short
skinny guy and big, mature, chill guy pair that I add into Donald and Duck respectively for my Thomas Human AU, while Scratch is honestly a desperate
and lovable jerk kinda like me, lol. Anyway, here's to staying tuned for more cool episodes! ^^
