Everybody comes in for a skewering on Comedy Central’s new animated series.
It’s not enough to be illustrated and funny anymore: These days, animation is a place for subversion and hidden meaning. It’s also the place for overt political posturing: Since “The West Wing” went off the air, liberalism and conservatism have been largely absent from television as prominent story lines or attributes. Live action television starring humans, that is. When the characters are drawn, partisan knives come out, even if the results often fizzle like ABC’s “The Goode Family.”
