"The Illustrated Cowboy"(The Illustrated Man)
Plot Synopsis:
Traveling and camping in the country, Jack Twist meets a cowboy whose body seems to be wholly covered in a tangled knarl of intricate tattoo inkwork.
The man is looking for the woman who drew all over him, because he says her artistry has ruined his life. The man does not say how. We get the idea the man is looking to for her because he wishes to kill her when he meets up with her.
Jack and the mysterious illustrated cowboy share drinks, and eventually the mysterious stranger takes off his clothes to show Jack his intricate illustrations in the light of the dying campfire. A couple of drinks later, and the man passes out for the night.
Jack watches over the man as he sleeps, and discovers that each of the mysterious man's tattoos comes to life as he stares at it and concentrates.
Each tattoo reveals a bizarre futuristic story as Jack watches over him.

Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow...

"Ennis and Jack: A Close Shave" (Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave / Chicken Run)
Plot Synopsis:
Brokeback Claymation!
Mrs. Joe Aguirre decides to automate the woolie business, turn the sheep into haggis, and harvest the wool all in one go. She builds a special factory to "process" the sheep.
It's a grand day out, and Ennis and Jack are playing in their tent. One night a large mechanical sheep harvesting device sucks them up into the device and transports them back to the factory to be harvested with the rest of the sheep. They dress in such a rush, they have on the wrong trousers.
Once inside the factory, Ennis and Jack must dodge all sorts of outlandish devices designed to shave, disembowl, skin, and process the hapless sheep into frozen haggis pie-treats and woolen pullovers! Both Ennis and Jack survive the journey through the machine, but they come out shaved completely bald, naked, and processed into bakery that is ready to cook. In a neat pile from another chute, two small knitted pullovers -- one blondish, one brunette -- are carefully ejected into a neatly folded pile.
Shaking off their pastry shells, Ennis and Jack return inside the device to sabotage the equipment and save the sheep!
