People rely on Animaniacs for outrageous and relevant content.”Īlas, there’s still plenty of relevant satire: “Facebook is a toxic waste dump, the Fox Friends are doting, the Russians are voting.” Most intriguing, the Animaniacs wear COVID-style masks in quarantine bunkers, so either the writers were eerily prescient, or the illustrators were able to hop in and update a few frames at the last minute.
