On December 7th, Revolver Entertainment delves into a world of superheroes, spies and Machiavellian villains as they release the first ever UK box sets for Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.
That’s an obscene number of 90 episodes, and over 7 hours of extras with music videos, never-before-seen footage and deleted scenes, as well as show commentaries by the cast & crew. As if this wasn’t enough, also on December 7th Adult Swim make available to fans the DVDs of the second seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force consists of Master Shake (a sadistic, lazy milkshake who loves to torture Meatwad), Frylock (a floating packet of fries, who is the brains and rationality of the group) and Meatwad (a gentle mutant meatball, who is bullied by Shake). Other characters include their wife-beater-wearing next door neighbour Carl, who spends most of his time indulging in sport, rock music, booze and women. Ignigknot and Err, who appear in some episodes, are creatures from the moon, ‘Mooninites’, who take advantage of Meatwads’ vulnerable and easily-lead nature.
Once a second-rate superhero, Harvey Birdman is now a third-rate lawyer, with bad knees and a bad-attitude, working at an upscale law firm. It’s not clear whether Harvey ever went to law school, but he definitely knows the lingo and has a nice suit – even if he still insists on wearing his superhero get-up underneath. As defender of ‘toons in trouble’, it’s his job to keep Shaggy and Scooby-Doo out of jail for possession, represent Fred Flintstone over alleged Mafia connections and lead the trial of Yogi Bear’s sidekick Boo-Boo, suspected of being notorious eco-terrorist: ‘The Unabooboo’.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force & Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law are released by Revolver Entertainment and are available now in all good bookstores and online.

I hate to say it, because it seems lazy, but I think my favourite cartoon character right now is Meatwad, from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
He isn’t the most important character in the show, which is an incomprehensible mess of crazy ideas and half-baked notions until you start to get Master Shake – the fact that he isn’t ever going to redeem himself and is basically just an ego-fuelled fantasist who honestly doesn’t know what outrageous claim he’s going to make next – which makes him the Rosetta Stone to unlocking the whole thing.
But he has a winning sweetness to his nature – he sees the world through just as fantastic a filter as Shake’s, but rather than delusion it’s more like childlike whimsy – and you have to strain to hear what he’s saying, which makes what he’s saying so much more satisfyingly surreal when you do get it.
Also, he gets the honeys, see?
Meatwad beats out any of the Venture Bros characters by dint of the fact that that show is a real ensemble piece, but the two cartoons are in constant competition for my “favourite cartoon” spot at the moment.
