LONDON, England, July 16, 2002 (LSN.ca) – “Queer Duck,” the successful Showtime TV cartoon about an “intellectual, homosexual” duck who is a male nurse, and his friends, Openly Gator, Bi-Polar Bear (who sports leather), and Oscar Wilde-Cat, has been picked up by the BBC. Twenty episodes, of three minutes each, will air on BBC Choice as part of the weekly magazine “That Gay Show.” The Duck show is described as having “enjoyed terrific success” in the U.S. and “a loyal, almost cult-like, fan base.”“Queer Duck” was created and written by Emmy-winning cartoonist Mike Reiss, best-known for “The Simpsons,” and designer/director/animator Xeth Feinberg. It started online in January at SHO.com and was picked up by Showtime following the success of “Queer as Folk,” a sit-com about a group of homosexuals and lesbians living in Pittsburgh. Actor Jim J. Bullock is the voice of Queer Duck, and well-known drag performer RuPaul sings the theme song.
