*This off-season Decemberween cartoon was made because there had not been a Decemberween toon in [[2003]]. [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and [[Missy Palmer|Missy]] were planning their wedding, which left [[The Brothers Chaps]] little time for a proper Decemberween toon. Several ideas were tried, but all were scrapped by Christmastime 2003; these various abandonded concepts eventually inspired the cornucopia approach of this toon.<!--fact added by [[User:Rebochan]], who attended the UCF event per [[User talk:Thunderbird L17/Archive 13]]-->
-
*This cartoon came about because Mike and Missy got married around Christmastime 2003.  The wedding left [[The Brothers Chaps]] little time for a proper Decemberween toon, and they actually tried several different ideas out before scrapping all of them and thus going without Decemberween in 2003 (an unfinished version of the Teen Girl Squad short was shown at an appearence at the University of Central Florida in spring 2004). The cornucopia idea came about from the various abandoned concepts.

 +
 
 +
===Remarks===
 +
*One can still click on the other Easter eggs and toons while watching either of the puppet toons.
 +
**This is because the puppet toons themselves are separate Flash files, designed ''and'' scripted to appear within the main Flash file.
