Wendy\'s not narrating, so the self-demonstrating joke makes no sense now


[[SelfDemonstratingArticle What is]] ''[[SelfDemonstratingArticle Millville Mornings]]'', [[SelfDemonstratingArticle you ask?]] Well, it's another animated FantasticComedy created by [[Tropers/MikuruFan Timothy Brown]].

Wendy Mercier is an ActionGirl. No one knows why, no one knows how, and [[MST3KMantra it's probably better that you don't know that.]] She fights these monsters in every episode, again, which you don't need to know about. She's [[InnocentCohabitation living with]] Bryan Montgomery because she's vacationing in [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Millville]] with her parents and they are cheap. Next door is Clark Davidson, who is [[TheChewToy treated like waste for laughs]].

Naturally, as with Brown's other works, this is a parody. And if [[ViewersAreMorons you can't guess what it's about]], I can tell you that it's a parody of shows that focus heavily on {{Action Girl}}s.

Under construction, as all wiki pages are.
