THE WAR RAGES ON

Let's talk about S'mores.

Few people know the true history behind this classic campfire treat, but it's time this old yet important chapter in confectionery history be brought to the world's attention. It was a terrible time of unnecessary violence and anguish, a time long forgotten and buried under the destruction of war. Too many good men had chocolate syrup on their hands, and it would leave a guilt that would haunt them for the rest of their lives. The cause was important and many thought it to be good and true, but it led to the fall of a nation, once powerful and towering high above the rest of the candy industry, now damaged by the suffering of war. This is not, however, a story of mistakes made by fallible minds corroded by sucrose, but of understanding and the first glimmer of hope and peace that brought an end to that terrible war of 1937. This is the story, of a short-lived but powerful and inspiring friendship.

Coming soon to a Bijou near me, a Harley Scroggins production will grace the silver screen, although it's really more of a beige at this point.

As my second year film enters the animation stage, it seems more of a reality and simultaneously excites and terrifies me. Here's hoping for smooth sailing! (I say as my set performs a daring act of spontaneous combustion and my puppets run far, far away to join the circus.)
