Star of books, stage,
and computer screen, Breakup Girl came to TV after being acquired by Oxygen Media in 1999. The
first cartoons created in Macromedia Flash that were shown on television and on the web,
these Breakup Girl shorts combine warm humor with sharp advice!
Second Season Pilot
"Fear of Flying" has never been shown online before, since we were canned from Oxygen before we could
post it. In fact, one of the reasons our "jobs were eliminated" was because this pilot
"wasn't right" for X-Chromosome, the TV show we were on. After we were gone, they aired it
anyway. (7min./3.6MB)
Fear of Flying
Breakup Girl is the superhero that saves love lives the world over! But what about
her own? When she meets the mighty Man-Guy, you will believe that sparks can fly.
DISCLAIMER: "Fear of Flying" was animated in the
more innocent time before September 11th, when crashing-planes, though a questionable source
of humor, was not yet completely off-limits.

Read how Man-Guy was introduced in this classic comic.
