The third season of Comedy Central’s adult cartoon series, Drawn Together, will kick of on Thursday, Oct. 5 at 10:30 p.m. Seven all-new episodes will continue the animated shenanigans of a diverse group of cartoon characters picked to live in a house together and have their lives taped for a reality show.
Created by Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser, Drawn Together spoofs various animation genres while also poking fun at reality television. The show’s housemates include Captain Hero, a not-so-moral do-gooder reminiscent of the Saturday-morning TV superheroes of the ’70s; Clara, a 20-year-old racist fairy-tale princess; Toot Braunstein, a pudgy, black-and-white Betty Boop knock-off from the ’20s; Foxxy Love, a sexy, mystery-solving musician; Spanky Ham, a foul-mouthed Internet-download pig; Ling-Ling, an adorable Asian trading-card creature; Wooldoor-Sockbat, a SpongeBob SquarePants type; and Xandir, a gay adventurer inspired by the great video game warriors.
Drawn Together is animated by Rough Draft. The show is Comedy Central’s first original animated series that is drawn traditionally in 2-D with digital ink and paint. Though its long-running flagship toon series, South Park, mimics 2-D cutout animation, it’s actually animated with Maya 3D software.
It was originally announced back in November that Comedy Central had greenlit 14 new episodes for the third season, but the network has apparently scaled the order down to half.
