The Off-Beats - The Sprain
Toonstalgia
To the Point
Betty Anne can't play bongos with a sprained wrist.
Thoughtful
KaBlam! ended the episode "Better Than a Poke in the Eye" with the Off-Beats Stunt Spectacular.
This episode reveals Grubby Groo's profession and gives an indication to why the Populars respect him beyond him being an adult. He runs the Cafe Ad Hoc and makes beloved ice cream sundays.
A mark of the style of the Off-Beats are the distinct head shapes. Most obvious is Grubby Groo. It's like a cashew. Head shape is nice way to create visually distinct characters.
