Founded in 1999 by caricaturist David Cowles, "You'll Put Your Eye Out Productions" was created in a burst of creative energy and pent up frustration. The company has since changed it's directive from "Pay Back Time!" to the more accommodating "Enjoy the Show!"
In 2000, their first animated short "Superfunk & Freaky-Dee" won the Grand Jury Animation Prize for both the West and East coast versions of The New York Independent Film and Video Festival. Woo-Hoy!
