Bugbo’s The Stone Merchant is a character from the surreal web series “Bugbo,” created by YouTuber bensilly. This retro-styled show draws inspiration from early 2000s Adobe Flash animations, featuring characters like Bugbo, Gerbo, Gradient Joe, and Hoppo in quirky adventures. The Stone Merchant, a minor but memorable character, appears in the episode “Set In Stone.” Initially kind and calm, he transforms dramatically when Bugbo refuses to pay for the stones, becoming distorted and vanishing, leaving only his stones behind. A fanart cartoon cursor featuring The Stone Merchant captures this mysterious and eerie moment.
