Twenty-one years into a cult series about a character with sausage fingers who communes with rusty spoons, and Firth is still finding new ways to make you feel genuinely unsettled by crows — that's longevity I respect.
Fourteen entries in, Firth's Salad Fingers is more cultural artifact than discrete short — this chapter rewards the faithful and bewilders newcomers. The body horror still bites; the form is showing its age.
David Firth still mining the same cartoon-surrealism vein after fourteen episodes — eleven minutes of body horror inside the long cult continuity. The format is mature now, which is either virtue or limit.
