“Pubertina”, a new animated short series hearkens back to the Ren and Stimpy style of gross-out animation, although I don’t think 90′s Nickelodeon ever took that aesthetic to the exploding-zit, menstrual-blood levels of this ‘toon.

I wonder if Pubertina dolls were a real thing (“life-like bleeding action!”) if they would be big sellers. Or maybe the opening credits are accurate: more often they would be thrown angrily to the ground. I know if I had a doll version of my pubescent self, I’d certainly hurl that thing a good fifty yards from my sight.

Anyway, looking forward to more from writer, cartoonist, voice actor Emily Brundige.
