Squidbillies Season 13 Episode 8 The Liceman Cometh

The Liceman Cometh is the eighth episode of the thirteenth season of the animated television show Squidbillies. The show is known for its mix of humor, satire, and social commentary on the American South. The episode features the titular character of the Liceman, a corrupt law enforcement officer who is looking to make some extra cash through illegal means.

The episode begins with the Liceman pulling over Early Cuyler, the show's main character, for speeding. After extorting him for money, the Liceman offers Early a job as his deputy. Early, thinking that this could be a way to make some easy money, agrees to the job. However, as he soon learns, the Liceman's job is more complicated and dangerous than he had initially thought.

Throughout the episode, Early is tasked with various illegal activities, such as stealing cats from a local animal shelter and helping the Liceman sell bootlegged DVDs. Although he is uncomfortable with the Liceman's methods, Early is too deeply committed to the job to back out. Meanwhile, his sister Lil, who works at the animal shelter, becomes suspicious of the Liceman's actions and begins investigating him.

The episode also features a subplot involving Rusty, Early's son, who has been skipping school. His teacher, Ms. Teacher, becomes concerned about his academic performance and contacts Early and his wife Krystal to discuss the issue. However, they quickly dismiss her concerns, believing that Rusty's behavior is just a result of him being a "rebel."

As the episode progresses, Lil's investigation into the Liceman's illegal activities uncovers a corrupt scheme involving the selling of counterfeit pain medication. When Early discovers this, he realizes that he must take action to stop the Liceman before he causes harm to the community. With the help of Lil and other members of the community, Early and the Liceman engage in a high-speed chase that ends with the Liceman's arrest.

Ultimately, the episode serves as a commentary on corruption in law enforcement and the importance of standing up against injustice. Despite the show's exaggerated and comedic nature, it tackles serious issues in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The Liceman Cometh is a strong example of the show's ability to blend humor with social commentary.
