A Web Original series by Lev Yilmaz. The eponymous "tales" in the series are brief reflections on Lev's life or even statements about life in general using anecdotes to give examples. The videos in this series consist of multiple still images in the process of being drawn by Lev (which can be as simplistic as a stick figure or as complex as a portrait of Clint Eastwood), narrated in a very dry, monotone voice.

Lev's YouTube channel can be found here and his official website can be found here.

Lev also made a book and DVD entitled Sunny Side Down: A Collection of Tales of Mere Existence.
