Alt-Weekly Comic Strip Spawns Adult Swim TV Pilot
The pilot of The Drinky Crow Show, based on Tony Millionaire's Maakies, is set to premiere on The Cartoon Network's Adult Swim May 13. Maakies, which debuted in the New York Press in 1994, is now featured in the Village Voice and other AAN papers. With a theme song by They Might Be Giants and a plot involving a mermaid, a suicidal crow, a shark attack, "head-chopping violence" and "ferocious Napoleonic French alligators," the pilot should make for an interesting 11 minutes.
