twins must separate for the first time in their lives. Edgar's pursuit of the Midway Irregulars leads him to the forests of Cougar Falls and an unlikely partnership with an eccentric professional monster hunter, while Ellen and Pet find themselves in the decidedly inhospitable town of Lach Lufless. Other books Mischief Manual The Mischief Manual is Edgar and Ellen's first chance to write a book in their own voice, "out from under the thumb of Charles Ogden". In this book, the twins share their trade secrets and inspirations for all manner of misdeeds and mayhem, including skill-building exercises, sample blueprints, and schemes to try at their home. Setting Nod's Limbs is the town where Edgar and Ellen live. It is so sickeningly sweet that it makes one's teeth hurt. There is no originality to the people that live there — which is why Edgar and Ellen are such a foil for them. The twins attempt to liven up shiny that one just wants to throw mud at it just to mix things up a bit. Living in it is, in the twins' own words, "like living inside a sugar cube". Animated shorts The animated shorts were co-produced with Canada-based Bardel Entertainment in association with YTV and Nicktoons Network. Nicktoons Network aired Edgar & Ellen two-minute shorts every day. There were 13 shorts in total. Six holiday specials began airing on Nicktoons Network on Labor Day weekend in 2006. The Back-to-School special, "Accept No Substitutes", was followed by a Halloween special, "Trick or Twins", a winter special, "Cold Medalists", a Valentine's special entitled "Crushed", and an April Fool's special "Nobody's Fools". The most recent one, called "Frog Days of Summer", aired on September 3, 2007. The animated shorts mainly show the pranking activities of Edgar and Ellen, but also include supporting characters like Mayor Knightleigh, Bob the Intern, Pet, Buffy the Muffin lady, and several other entertaining Nod's Limbsians. Edgar and Ellen hosted the Scare-a-thon on Nicktoons Network during Halloween weekend of 2005 and did so again in 2006.
