There's a mysterious student missing from class... it might seem impossible, but Peetledoodle is set on finding her!
This episode was somewhat heavily based on the song "margo" by the scary jokes.

The day I started this episode, I animated a short style test to cement the look of the series. Before this, Peetledoodle actually went through a ton of other iterations from 2023-2024. I'll detail those another time. (Music - Crazy Pool 2)
Before/during the production of this episode, I drew concept art in a file called "testings.fla" to make sure I was getting a handle on the style I wanted. Look, an early Runt! (that's the turtle.)
More style testing
At this point I wasn't completely sure what color their dresses should be
Mom didn't have a final design until I drew her in Episode 2
Various expression tests for the two...
Alternate color schemes for them I considered
What colors should they wear??
One of the first episode ideas I had was about this. (doesnt elaborate)
Let's fucking rock
The first thing I animated for the episode itself was the montage sequence. A lot of stuff got changed or moved around; here was an early version of the part with the giant seal(?)
Unused montage shot. I took this photo myself walking around downtown for 8 hours the week before
One more unused montage shot
Early version of the scene with Glitz. Fun fact, Glitz didn't have a name yet when I made this episode, so I just wrote them as "bunny" in the script.
Concept scratchpad for Margo's design.
