Reality cartoon slated for next year

Published: Oct. 4, 2003 at 3:19 PM

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- Comedy Central is taking well-known carton characters and putting them into a new reality-style cartoon.

"Drawn Together," will incorporate the feel of the "The Real World" and "Big Brother" but will star animated characters -- each from an animation genre -- such as Captain America, Betty Boop and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Betty Boop and SpongeBob may be thrown in reality show situations such as heavy drinking, sex and back-stabbing, The New York Post reported.

"Anything adults can do on a reality show, we want our characters to do," co-creator Dave Jeser told Variety. "You haven't seen cartoons having sex or bulimia."

The show is scheduled to appear next year.
