Tom Goes to the Mayor

Tom Goes to the Mayor is an animated show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, that aired for the first time on November 14, 2004. The basic plot of the show centers around Tom Peters, a new citizen to the town of Jefferton who is "full of ideas," and giving them to the Mayor (though the ideas always backfire). The show features a crude yet distinctive animation style (vaguely reminiscent to sprite comics) which is made by taking photos of the cast with different expressions. The photos are filtered (the effect can be accomplished in Photoshop using the 'photocopy' filter) so that they are made up of only blue and white; resembling mimeographs. There are some live action scenes, usually on a television within the show. Adult Swim has also described this as being one of the most polarizing shows they have had, indicating that fans either love or hate it.
