The Goddamn George Liquor Program is a 1997[1][2][3] Adobe Flash cartoon series created by John Kricfalusi and starring the animated character George Liquor. Liquor was spun out to his own web-based cartoon during the days when the Spümcø studio had an online presence. Michael Pataki voiced Liquor in the series. Spümcø produced eight one-minute shorts.[4]

Premiering on October 15, 1997,[1][2] The Goddamn George Liquor Program was the first cartoon series to be produced exclusively for the internet.[5] George appeared on the series with his nephew, Jimmy The Idiot Boy; Jimmy's cousins, Slab and Ernie; Jimmy's love interest, Sody Pop; and George and Jimmy's pet dog, Dirty Dog. Without the control of a network, the series could be made as Kricfalusi wanted.[5] The Goddamn George Liquor Program won the 1999 Annie Award for "Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Interactive Production".[6] Later the show was being developed as a series of cartoon commercials for Pontiac Vibe.[7] The new series remained unreleased after General Motors discontinued the Pontiac Vibe auto line in 2009.[8][9]
