The Penguin

Overview

The episode is called "The Penguin" because at the end of the cartoon, completely out of nowhere, penguins show up. I'm fully aware, by the way, that this isn't a very good reason to name a cartoon that. But, well, there was an episode called "The Sparrow" before this, and some other animals along the way, so why not. In any case the cartoon is really about sounds. Or rather about the constant level of noise that a modern city dweller lives in. In short it's a mess — even though we mostly don't notice the noise out of habit, the moment you accidentally pay attention to it, that's it, you can't shake the thought anymore. Finding silence, however, is no simple task. Especially inner silence. Because we carry all our noise with us — that's really the main reason. Noise has already become part of our modernized human nature.
