A 5-star salute to David Firth’s Salad Fingers: a surreal, grotesque, and oddly tender Flash-animated web series born in 2004. The review praises Firth’s sparse, desolate visuals, his own precise voice acting, and a mood shaped by dark ambient sounds, including Lustmord and Boards of Canada. It urges viewers to embrace the nonsense and enjoy the eerie humor.
