How did Doogtoons start?
One day back in 2001, while enjoying a box of wine, Doog's college buddies, Nick Lejeune and Haig Ourishian, started spouting humorous nonsense like usual. As an experiment, Doog decided to record their words, animate them and place them into a short film called "Nick and Haig - Episode I".

The film debuted at the UCSB Digital Film Festival of 2002 at Isla Vista Theater in Santa Barbara, CA. The film received such a great response that Bresler continued to record more nonsense from the duo. Doog created "Nick and Haig - Episode II" in early 2005 with a combination of old and new audio recordings from Nick and Haig.

Doog eventually cut up the films into smaller chunks and created the Doogtoons Podcast in late 2005. You can read all about it in this Playlist Magazine article here.
