A Flash series created by David C. Lovelace, hosted on Website/{{Newgrounds}}. Started out as a single short with the titular babies trying to teach the alphabet (similar to a ''SesameStreet'' spot, if the ''Sesame Street'' writers [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs all did crack]]), and veered off into a series with the characters as actual characters, with actual storylines and dialog and stuff... sort of. Definitely not safe for work, or anyone who has problems with {{Funny Animal}}s in sexual situations. Has also spawned a [[http://hamsterdunce.com/ webcomic]].
