Object shows

Object shows are the common name for cartoons on the Internet featuring anthromorphic objects, usually connected by the art style. The earliest object shows, Battle for Dream Island and Inanimate Insanity, among others, were influenced by things such as Total Drama Island and Homestar Runner.

Much of object show history has been lost for a long time. For example, the comic books predating Battle for Dream Island, the Total Firey series (2008–2009), were lost until they were found by the BFDI co-creator Cary Huang in June 2021.
