S14 Ep4: Mr. Hemlock's Helper

Astonishing Legends Productions
About this episode

Thank you so much for volunteering to help Mr. Hemlock with the necessary gardening chores, Dear Guest! We were amazed at the lightning speed with which you raced to scribble your name on the sign-up sheet! Why, you seemed almost to be in a fever-dream as you drove your pen into the paper with madness, then you wandered away giggling and mumbling to yourself. In any case, we appreciate your overt willingness to lend a hand. And we certainly won't forget your efforts. We doubt that you will forget, either...

Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.
