The Oblongs
Just one more toxic family.
Created by Angus Oblong, Jace Richdale
On The WB, Adult Swim
A darkly comic adult animation that finds warmth and absurdist humor in a family's resilience against environmental catastrophe and social marginalization.
The Oblongs are not so much dysfunctional as slightly nonfunctional. Living next to a polluted swamp has left them with the occasional missing limb or mysterious growth, but through it all, this close-knit family sticks together. Sometimes literally.
