★★★★ · Johnny Numbers, Doomsday walker. · Spuzz · 2015-12-16

Bob, a boy with an affection for plaid shirts and white bow ties, daydreams in math class about playing outside. If only we could get rid of numbers! Then, in a common terrifying theme with Skip's movies, a marionnete appears by the name of JOHNNY NUMBERS and grants Bob's wish. Granted, the way this is presented is pretty simplified, a world without numbers would probably be more devastating then shown here. Of course, the film cuts off before there's no conclusion. Uh oh.
