Edgar & Ellen
Description
In the town of Nod's Limbs, twins Edgar and Ellen live alone in a grim, gray house overlooking the cemetery and junkyard after their parents disappeared years ago. The mischievous siblings spend their days avoiding their mysterious accordion-playing caretaker Heimertz and pestering Pet, a hairy one-eyed creature of indeterminate species. Together, they wreak havoc on the unsuspecting citizens of their quaint but eerie town.
