The Life and Times of William Johnson Hippopotamus

The absolutely 100% (or less. Much much less) true story of Calvin Coolidge's pet hippo, William Johnson Hippopotamus. His friends called him Billy!

A video created for both fun and for filling out an earlier iteration of my portfolio site. Written by myself with copious amounts of historical jokes, because when I do something silly, I prefer the smart sort of silly. Drawings done by me, with music from Universal Production Music.

I'm so proud of the headline "Hippo Hits the Hooch".
