    "Back in Drimustump, in the days of my youth. The Doofenshmirtz's were a proud family, but those were mean times for my father, and our beloved lawn gnome was repossessed. Who would protect our zatzenfruit garden from witches spells and wood trolls? From a tender age, my father deiced it would be......me. While the other children played Kick the Schtumpel and ate Doonkleberries I would stand for hours. All though the cold night as the spitzen hound howled, my only companion was the moon, and my neighbor Kenny. And since my lawn gnome was taken away from me I will destroy every lawn gnome in the entire tri state area!"

Your animations are great, but I feel more videos should be on the 20s and 30s, another reason I ordered the book was because I didn’t see enough Simple History videos on the topic, I recommend your next video be on Al Capone or The Wall Street Crash, which are both topics that are very interesting for not only me.
