On Sunday, May 13, The Cartoon Network's popular Adult Swim animation
showcase will premiere the long-awaited pilot of The Drinky Crow Show,
based on cartoonist Tony Millionaire's long-running Maakies comic
strip. The show's comedy is brutal, existential, and hilarious. As
with animated shows like The Simpsons or Futurama, The Drinky Crow
show is a fast-paced, plot-twisting laff-riot combining adventure,
romance, debauchery and graphic violence -- offering something for
everybody!

The Drinky Crow Show stars Drinky Crow and Uncle Gabby. Drinky Crow is
a desperate, depressed, tormented romantic who seeks escape from the
horror of being alive through killing his brain-cells with alcohol
and/or bullets. Uncle Gabby is an overweight, drunken monkey sailor
who devotes his life to the simple pleasures of sleep, eating,
drinking, defecation, and mindless coupling. Other cast members
featured in The Drinky Crow Show include: Captain Maak, the brutal,
lash-weilding boss; the flirtatious, sadistic, Captain's Daughter;
Phoebe Crow, Drinky's long-suffering sober girlfriend; Aunt Gabby,
Gabby's equally crass monkey wife; Young Master Wentworth, an awful,
five year-old rich snob who travels on the ship; Blind Pew, a blind
sailor with colon cancer who always looks on the bright side of
things, and Cynthia, a plucky, self-reliant fly who never stops
smiling as she struggles to find love while raising a family of kids
inside Uncle Gabby.
