Beyond & Around the Spool

Their Lives Don’t End When They Leave the Yard.

What happens when the Bug Light Boys go their separate ways?

Beyond the Spool explores the individual lives and adventures of the characters outside their familiar gathering place.

Follow Eagle Eye on wildlife photography adventures, discover what Slim Donnie gets himself into when Big Donnie isn’t around, and explore the unexpected experiences of Charlie, Maggie, Mickey, and the others.

Some stories may involve familiar characters together, while others will follow them individually or introduce new people along the way.

These are original fictional stories set within the established Bug Light Boys universe.

Little Moments. Lasting Friendships.

Not every memorable moment needs an entire episode.

Around the Spool will feature shorter fictional scenes, conversations, memories, humorous exchanges, and quiet moments shared among the characters.

These smaller stories offer another opportunity to experience the friendships, personalities, and everyday lives that make The Bug Light Boys special.
