Your Miseryyyy is Over

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost ten years since we recorded the original episodes of Strindberg and Helium. In that time, the morose Swedish playwright and his little pink pal have toured the world, appearing in numerous film festivals; been subjects of articles in the New York Times, USA Today, and Entertainment Weekly; and even featured in a song by Amanda Palmer.

That so many people have written to us over the years, whether begging for more, or discovering the videos for the first time, never ceases to amaze and delight. So, for every Halloween costume that prompted exceedingly long explanations, for every homemade Helium cake and hand-knitted doll, and especially for that month in 2003 when your co-worked repeated something you said in a high pitched voice at every meeting, you have my deepest thanks. It is with great pleasure that I present you with our newest episode. Strindberg and Helium: At the Beach. Written by Erin Bradley Perkins and animated by the one and only, Eun-ha Paek.

See? We told you we’d make more. Hang in there for our next launch party. To be held in 2020. Enjoy.
