Smart Cartoons by a Slightly Obsessed Explainer.
I make animated videos that break down science, history, technology, and all the weird stuff in between—explained simply and visually.
If it’s real, mind-blowing, or just plain confusing, I’m probably turning it into a cartoon.
Watched by curious minds in the US, UK, Australia, and beyond.
Subscribe if you love clever visuals, strange facts, and brain-itching questions—with answers.
