My cousin Jake, art director over at Adult Swim, has a pilot airing this fall — That Crook’d Sip. That clip has been on YouTube for months, but I never got around to posting it here. The show was created by Jake and Nick Weidenfeld, Nick handling the writing and Jake doing all the character design and artwork. You may remember that Nick is the guy who costarred with Jake and his daughter in that creepy Shining tribute that played on the network for a while as a promo.

I first heard about this new show a couple years ago at Thanksgiving, back when they were calling it “Frenchman’s Bend” (still the name of the plantation the family lives on). I haven’t talked to Jake in several months, so I’m not sure whether it’ll go past the pilot stage yet — but at least the pilot will air. I can’t wait.
