The Off-Beats - The Robo-Dog
Summary
August gets a robo-dog when September won't play with him.
Notes
This is the first short shown on KaBlam! The exclamation point is not a sign of enthusiasm or excitement, it's part of the show name. This is a basic fact.
KaBlam! was a collection of animated shorts introduced by animated hosts, Henry and June who live in a comic book. I watched every episode.
Television shows are ephemeral. Some get released on physical media but others are lost. They disappear with time due to being forgotten or being remembered and knotted up in so many contractual complexities they might never be seen again. KaBlam! has not had an official release.
Old classics are reappearing on the collection of streaming services. Cable channels are digging deeper into their catalogs for content to fill their schedule. Reddit can help you find the name of that cartoon that only existed as a wisp of thought of a memory. But a cartoon you watched and loved could disappear as if it never existed.
Detail I Liked
One background appeared to be a rubbing of pennies.
Way Too Long Synopsis
August complains he is the only one with a dog with PTO. He declares he will find another dog to play with. August buys a robot dog because he will play forever and August likes gadgets. While September sits in a pool, August shows off the Robo-Dog. They play fetch. This time with August throwing the stick. Robo-Dog carves the stick into a flute. August regrets the purchase quickly because he really wants to play with September. He asks Robo-Dog to take a break but Robo-Dog will not be ignored. August throws the stick countless of times. Each time the dog brings back a different wood project. September buys a Robo-Boy to play with the Robo-Dog then returns to his day off. August has a little nap.
