Overview (Recap of Animated Sketches)

Dicktown ‘The Mystery of the Controversial Cosplay’

Dicktown follows detectives Hodgman and Rees set in Richardsville who solve crimes. In this case, it’s the case of the slandered superhero named “Monica” who feels as though her cosplay is getting unwanted attention. We come to learn that an online troll is behind the dial and is quickly discovered and accosted.  And while we could’ve really embarrassed this guy, when this guy shits his pants, he does a good enough job of destroying himself.

Dicktown “The Mystery of the Maybe Boyfriend”

Hodgman and Rees have to investigate a relationship that may not have any substance. Turns out, dating is just a completely different concept to gen Z, except for the constant retro aesthetic…aside from the dick pics. The young couple eventually split and our fabled detectives get blitzed.
