I just discovered that the creator of the comic strip Perry Bible Fellowship has also created some short movies.

• Ken's new specs is a one-minute adaptation of one of the strip's comics.

• A Kiss for Joe features cartoonist Nicholas Gurewitch himself.

• The woman he kisses appears in a parody of a kung fu movie where she fights to defend the golden turtle.

• There's a fascinating 9-minute documentary about her and the strange word game she's played in her head since the age of 7.

• There's a long experimental film that switches to a beautifully surreal style for its second half.

• One fully-animated (and very naughty) cartoon unexpectedly ending with a forest of trees.

• A short live-action movie offering a metaphor for love.
