Plot
A restaurant opens for the night. The diners include: A man dining alone, who orders a plate of spaghetti that becomes his dining companion.
Sinekatalog’s take
A diner's plate of spaghetti becomes his companion in a quirky restaurant night, in Plympton's trademark wobbly pencil animation. The humor is surreal and slightly gross, delivered at a quick pace. A funny short for fans of offbeat cartoons.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
