The Asylum started out innocently enough as an idea for a syndicated comic strip about a deranged little psychopath who resides in a padded room and who's only contact with the outside world is through his own warped imagination. After completing a couple of weeks worth of strips it became increasingly evident to creator Scott Serkland that any syndicator who would even consider a comic about an insane asylum probably belonged in one, hence the idea was subsequently shelved.

Now years later Serkland is clearing the dust from this demented institution and redeveloping it as a series of animated shorts.

The Asylum is a hilarious and irreverent look into the minds of some of the most lovable lunatics ever to have been committed. The Asylum's cockamamie cast of characters talk out loud to themselves, destroy hospital property, pull foreign objects out of their ears, lock themselves in closets and that's just the faculty.
