Comedy Central will air

It’s an animated show where demons, robots, wizards and other assorted ghouls and goblins work in New York. Satan strolling down Broadway gets no more attention than a corner bagel salesman.

Weigh In Corrections? “I credit a lot of the insanity to them,” Clark says. “Both of my parents were artists. My mom had a collection of underground comics that I discovered at younger age than I should have.”

The show follows Department of Integration social worker Mark Lilly (voiced by Matt Oberg) and his creature cohorts as they help new citizens — both human and others — adapt to life in the Big Apple. His colleagues include Twayne (Michael-Leon Wooley), a demonic bureaucrat; Mark’s succubus co-worker Callie Maggotbone (Natasha Leggero); Leonard Powers (Randy Pearlstein), a drunken wizard; and Lt. Grimes (Larry Murphy), a law-enforcement officer who despises non-humans.

The series was originally pitched as a Web program based on drawings Clark would make while waiting for a bus in New York. He would divide a page into eight parts, then have eight creatures debate everything from politics to immigration.

Clark loves to take something horrific or absurd and normalize it. “There’s this insane world where we can do anything, but we want to make sure the stories are relatable. So we will do a story about New Jersey being full of zombies but have a character come out to his parents,” Clark says. Fourteen episodes have been produced for the second season but only 10 will air. Clark believes if he says that Comedy Central will air the other four as part of a third season there’s a better chance the show will get a third season.
