Spoilsbury Toast Boy is a young slave who is forced to make “toasties” in a toast workhouse for the manipulative beetles that haunt his desolate world. The backwards-running animation series Spoilsbury Toast Boy is a horrific nightmare created by British cartoonist and musician David Firth, who also created Salad Fingers. One night an evil beetle kills Spoilsbury Toast Boy’s creepy grandmother by pushing her into a fireplace. Later, after beetles lure Toast Boy to a doctor’s appointment at 9:41, they brutally murder him with their “brain-fixing machine.” The first two Kafkaesque Flash cartoons were released in 2004 and a third (and final?) episode was released in 2005.
