A little while ago, we moved into a new house in Guelph. At the same time (or, more correctly, about a month before) the lease on our previous studio expired, and we’ve yet to locate a suitable space in our new city (we could be commuting from Kitchener to Guelph, but that’s a 30 minute [...]
After much soul-searching, we decided to shelve our first slogan, which was “Purveyors of the finest things to stick your hand into.” I really liked it, and I think it fit pretty well with our comedic sensibilities, and gave a pretty good sense of the tone we’d be tending to go for.
