When animators, filmmakers, and two 20-something, dyed-in-the-wool geeks throw together their creativity, you get something wildly unpredictable and slightly absurd like 'Sockbaby'. This quirky internet web series, which hit in the early 2000s, showcases a bizarre mélange of martial arts, religious satire, and good old-fashioned slapstick. 'Sockbaby' is a collaborative brainchild of creators Doug TenNapel and John Soares, produced by Waverly Films, based in the vibrant indie media scene of Los Angeles. It captured the whimsy and rebelliousness of the pre-social media internet—celebrated when the internet meant oddball niches and unfiltered creativity.
