Robert - Hey Spicy and Helen, would you agree that Asparagus (1979) by Suzan Pitt is one of the best pieces of Experimental Animation that exists?
Spicy - Yes!! The part where she poops pieces of asparagus into the toilet really does it for me.
Helen - Totally some great American EA! The only thing that would've made it better is if it was Sand Animation.
