Back to Backspace and Pillywags' Mansion

At the headquarters of a newspaper company, its CEO rejects a design proposal for a cartoon man named Mustacki, sending the file to the trash and emptying it.

Patti and her workers explain that there are three types of deletions: "good-bad" ones, which are sent back; "lousy-bad" ones, which are counseled and repaired; and "evil-bad" ones, which are tortured and shredded.

When asked by Pillywags why his monster chose to swallow him, Steve posits that, due to his small stature, he was mistaken for prey.

Marin graduated in 2006[3] and also provides the voices of Benson, Muscle Man, and Pops on another Cartoon Network series, Regular Show.

[2] In Back to Backspace, Amber Benson was cast as Patti; Zosia Mamet as Yaga; Craig Anton as Mustacki; David and Chris Walsh as Herschel and Sweatpants respectively; and Geoffrey Arend as Ranklin.

[4] Paul Fraser of 24700, the official blog of CalArts,[3] and Amid Amidi of Cartoon Brew gave both pilots positive reviews.

[4] For Back to Backspace, Amidi wrote that, while not a "slick finished" idea, it was one that displayed the potential of both the concept and "its creators", though the latter "doesn't quite hold together".

[4] Rondal Scott of Strange Kids Club wrote that Pillywags' Mansion had the "overall polish" of Pee-wee's Playhouse, while the blend of animation and puppetry reminded him of his own website.

[4] The Back to Backspace pilot was nominated for "Best General Audience Animated Television Production" at the 42nd Annie Awards,[6] but lost to an episode of The Simpsons.

The creators of the pilots are alumni of the California Institute of the Arts .
