Adult Swim Orders Another Round of Drinky Crow
When I was young, I used to idolize He-Man. Now that’s I’m older, I idolize a new cartoon character, namely Drinky Crow, star of Tony Millionaire’s Maakies comics, which are focused mostly on alcohol, alcohol abuse and the everyday horror of living. Last March, Adult Swim aired a pilot based on the cartoon, titled The Drinky Crow Show, which looked a little something like this:
And now, according to ICV2, Adult Swim has ordered 10 more episodes a mere 11 months after the pilot first aired. I’d say this calls for a toast, but I’m drinking alone tonight.
