- Spike & Mike Present New Generation Animation
Show: Spike & Mike Present New Generation Animation "These 19 short animations place a lower premium on grotesquery than the usual "Spike & Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation" package—most of them would be rated PG—but the artistic quality is as high as I remember from the Spike & Mike imprimatur in its heyday," writes Cliff Doerksen.
