BWAhahahaha! The metacartoonist doesn't know what hits him! Shut up, blurb boy. Aha! Back for more, eh?!? Yeah, well, Damonk is a creep. Step outside and say that! Oh, shut up and tell the people to continue the storyline at Boarders and Sister.

*ahem* The metacartoonist strikes a new trail into the uncharted wilderness of minimalist crossover, by deigning to participate in the so-called Great Framed Escape. Those fans who appreciate the well-honed metacartoonery of Toonbots will probably sniff in disdain at Damonk13's sprawling chaos of a catastrophe, but it's worth a casual laugh or two.

Now if you don't mind, I'm late for lunch with the Greystone Inn narrator.
