The story

Not everything in the Weirdness comes with a press kit. This is a two-minute psychedelic cartoon posted in December 2015 by a Portuguese-language YouTube channel called Dke, under the title PSYCHEDELIA! VISUAL DRUG (LSD) Cartoon, with a nod to someone called Wafafa. Who drew it and who made the music, the upload doesn't say.

The description pitches it as a backing track for people on LSD, cocaine or meth, which is a lot of promise for two minutes of cartoon. Over the music, a voice in Portuguese describes a trip on an indigenous tea and a universe that never stops and never ends, then signs off asking viewers to subscribe. Cheaper than the tea. Probably safer too.
