SquidBillies...Cartoon Jesco White (Dancing Outlaw)

My cousin asked me if I had seen Squidbillies, a cartoon on Cartoon Network's adult swim. A basis synopsis of the show can be found at wikipedia, but I will also give one here. The show is about squids in the mountains of Georgia and all the people that make up the mountain town.

Early


Rusty

The two main characters are Early and Rusty, a father and son team who have various adventures together.


Episode 1: This Show is Called Squidbillies

I compare to one my favorite movies/documentaries The Dancing Outlaw, just in cartoon form. The Dancing Outlaw is about a man named Jesco White, who lives in the hills of West Virginia. He is the son of a famous Mountain Dancer, who was tragically killed in a stand off. It is one of the saddest and yet entertaining documentary on rural life in America.


Exert from The Dancing Outlaw

Squidbillies reflects Jesco in many of the episodes I have seen, of course the issues are a little more outrageous but most of the time they reflect the backwardness of rural life.

I would suggest checking them both out for some serious laughs, but be prepared for some very controversial topics.
