Mr. Pickles
2013–2019Adult SwimAnimation
A family dog who is secretly satanic, opened in the visual language of a wholesome fifties cartoon.
Mr. Pickles opens with a main title sequence of 22 seconds.
At 22 seconds, it opens well under the 58-second median for animation sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Adult Swim in 2013, when Samurai Jack, Squidbillies and 12 oz. Mouse were also on the network.
