By following these safe (well, maybe not safe) and easy guidelines, you, too can avoid friendship!

This short, nominated for an Academy Award, is one of four in a series of "self-help" cartoons done by Rembrandt Films. Arthur Treacher narrates all four and is perfect for the job! I suspect it's safe to say that if the advice here is followed, friendship is not something that will trouble you for terribly long! This short, along with the others in the series, can be found on Rembrandt Films Greatest Hits and the entire compilation is wholeheartedly recomended.
