We seem to remember catching the first episode of Adult Swim's Drinky Crow Show, like, last May, and then nothing, not a peep, until this November, when it started showing up on Sunday nights. And now that we've caught a second and a third episode, you know what? It's just gorgeous and demented and gory and wonderful as we remember, like the coolest adult comix you ever stole from your dad's closet and didn't quite understand the first time around.
We're not that familiar with the comic strip Maakies, upon which it's based, so we don't know if much was lost in translation. We're guessing the slight philosophical bent to the dialogue is faithful to the source material; the endless supply of spurting arterial blood and freaky Pee-Wee's Play-Houseboat design? Your guess is as good as ours. What we do know -- and what's most important -- is: we've never had this much fun watching alcoholic crows and monkeys bash each other's organs out on the open seas. Seriously, Adult Swim -- this almost makes up for Assy McGee.
We got the pilot after the jump -- give it a shot, kids. If nothing else, it's gonna make a great stocking stuffer next Christmas for that artsy drunk you know. (The one besides us, we mean.)
