Comedy Central tonight kicks off the third season of its hit adult animated series Drawn Together. Airing at 10:30 p.m., the season opener is the first of seven all-new episodes that continue the edgy adventures 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 shows like MTV’s The Real World. 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 in Korea. The show is Comedy Central’s first original animated series that is drawn traditionally in 2D with digital ink and paint. Though the network’s long-running flagship toon series, South Park, mimics 2-D cutout animation, it’s actually animated with Maya 3D software. On Oct. 4, Comedy Central debuted its latest original toon series, Freak Show, which is animated in 2D by Radical Axis.
