so this is going to sound deranged but do any of you recall the name of an Easter holiday special i swear i remember from childhood
clues in next tweet
1. it was not very good. think 70s-80s-early 90s style american animation
2. the protagonist was a farm kid i think, or some rural school children
3. the antagonist was a neighboring farmer who had abandoned God, along with his humanity, and physically fused with his tractor
it was like davey and goliath but with an iron maiden villain
i knew it was real
apparently they made it to sell easter egg dye kits
you could market absolutely anything with a kids show in the 80s. it was a glorious time to be a child
this is the plot
apparently trey parker also remembered this because it was alluded to heavily in a south park easter special episode
this not only ended the list but caused the bankruptcy of good housekeeping in the ensuing blizzard of lawsuits
