Things are beginning to look pretty good for “toonheads” this year. While Liquid Television is enjoying a resurrection (of sorts) online and FOX’s ADHD is set to make its prime time debut this July, Comedy Central has joined in with TRIPTANK (first announced back in 2011), a weekly animation showcase scheduled to premiere this Fall.
Apparently, show producers Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico (ShadowMachine) have already begun recruiting top talent from sites like Newgrounds including Jaltoid and RicePirate.
FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:
“Triptank” is an anthology of animated comedy shorts created by a varied list of creators, ranging from new voices to established comedic talent. Bulkley and Campodonico will utilize a broad range of formats including 2D, stop-motion and CGI to showcase some of the best and brightest in the comedy community. Creative talent in the pilot included Bob Odenkirk, Larry David, Zach Galafianakis, Kumail Nanjiani, Brett Gelman and Kyle Kinane. The series will weave together stand-alone shorts as well as recurring narrative pieces. Monika Zielinska is the Executive in Charge of Production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
