There's been rumours pointing to a link-up between the two parties for some time, but it seems that the deal is closer than ever to being signed.
The New York Times has run a piece about what the web-only cartoons titled Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy and said that the clips will be "animated versions of the one-frame cartoons you might see inThe New Yorker, only edgier."

A lawyer working on the deal had this to say about the partnership: "What is exciting is that this is a way to monetise the internet immediately. Instead of creating a website and hoping Seth's fans find it, we are going to push the content to where people are already at."
According to the Register, over 50 two-minute episodes have been created for the campaign, which if everything goes to plan will begin in September.
