Sophie asks: What if Cthunkle took Mr. Eric into his lair?

Full Episode description

Cthunkle seems to think that “social distancing” means shutting himself away for eternity at the bottom of Squid Lake. Can Mr. Eric help him find other ways to have fun?

Lessons: When people are worried, it’s more fun to be a helper than a trickster; Washing our hands and keeping them away from our face is a healthy habit year round!

This episode talks about social distancing. Our What If World characters do see each other in a small group so that we can answer our kids’ questions, but, in the US, the recommendation of health professionals as of March 14th, 2020, is to cancel classes and playdates and to spend time with your immediate family. Stay safe and healthy out there!
