Time to Time

Time to Time is the first episode of the second season of Stu-Boy & Piv-Boy, launching the first season produced under Cardiac Mama. It is written by co-creator Jordan Comeaux and Austin Johnson in his first episode writing for the show. It launched a season-long storyline and is the first to feature limited involvement from co-creator Stuart Bryant, who has been reduced to a voice role.

This episode aired on May 2, 2015 to positive reviews and won a Newgrounds Daily Trophy, placing second for the most popular animation on the website for the day it premiered.

Plot
Eating at a diner, Stu-Boy & Piv-Boy argue about the consequences of a time machine. A stranger overhears their conversation and presents himself as the future Stu-Boy, offering to show them his time machine. Suddenly, a truck runs over and kills the future Stu-Boy to the horror of present Stu-Boy and Piv-Boy. Stu-Boy notices the time machine and he and Piv-Boy take it out for a joyride.

They go back and forth between timelines and land in the second episode, only to leave quickly so Piv-Boy avoids hearing spoilers. After more joyriding, the time machine breaks down and leaves Stu-Boy and Piv-Boy stranded until a friendly truck driver offers the two a ride back. Stu-Boy thanks the driver, who loses focus and rams down Future Stu-Boy, causing everyone in the truck to scream.

Production
"Time to Time" was the first episode written for season two and serves as the premiere for a season that has a season-long storyline. The story was conceived by Austin Johnson for either a cartoon or movie about two drunks that take a time machine from a dead guy. Co-creator Jordan Comeaux considered making it an episode of Stu-Boy & Piv-Boy and from there, both started writing. The writing for the episode finished late January 2014, with animation starting March 2015.

The writing session for this episode, which ended around February 2014, culminated in eight other episodes, each following the events of the first. "Time to Time" was the first episode to feature no involvement from previous co-writer and background artist Stuart Bryant, other than voicing his character Stu-Boy and the future version of him, too. It features recurring guest star Damian McGivney as the waitress in the diner and new guest star Jonathon Gran, better known as animator Ukinojoe, as the friendly truck driver that brings the two back home.
