We've all (or most of us, anyway) seen this.

The thing about salad fingers is, it's not just creepy and disturbing, it goes deeper, so deep, infact, that it could take months to work out the full meaning.

What i've got so far is ~ Salad fingers is a young boy whos brothers went off to fight in the war, his parents were killed by bombs but he survived by hiding in a cup-board (as seen in ep. 8, a particularly disturbing episode) and resorting to cannabalism (Ep. 6), but alas, the radiation mutated his brain.

As so he dwells in his insanity, only returning to sanity once, at the end of ep. 5, where he finds a girl who reminds him of his fallen sister, but, he cannot take reality and basically goes insane once again.

Any thoughts/inputs?
