In the first episode, for instance, Roddle sees a town on a hill and hopes to find an inn there. However, it turns out that the town is on the back of a gigantic frog, which leaves the hill for a lake populated by other frogs with towns on their backs. The penultimate episode, “Fantasy,” is a collection of brief vignettes too slight to summarize. The last is “The Apple Incident,” in which giant apples fall from the sky.<\/p>\n Rather than try to explicate the imagery, I’ll just post some screen captures below the fold.<\/p>\n Some time back Wabi Sabi mentioned The Diary of Tortov Roddle.
