I really love the show and I love underground comics or, "comix" as the article calls them, but had never even considered a connection. That was a good read. As an aside, has anyone else checked out Frisky Dingo? I didn't really care for it, though I can see how it contributed to Archer. I much prefer Sealab 2021 personally.
I love Archer. Definitely my favourite show that's currently running. I'm re-watching Sealab right now. The first season is rather lackluster, but the second and third seasons are excellent (the fourth is also good, although it's not quite the same without Harry Goz). Both shows were great, but I probably like Frisky Dingo better. It's also cool to see the transition from Sealab to Frisky Dingo to Archer. And it's awesome seeing callbacks in Archer to their previous series.
