A Postmodern Tribute to Zorak In 1994, the television programme Space Ghost: Coast to Coast came on the air...
notable For its Deconstruction of the tired yet Profitable Late-Night Talk show Format (see Leno, Letterman, Carson), the primary impact of Coast to Coast was its placement of Zorak, a former villain of the former hero-turned-idiot Space Ghost, as the voice of social and moral revolution.
Imprisoned, like the modern consciousness, by a white heterosexist bourgeois male overimpressed with his technological prowess, Zorak resists Space Ghost's consumerist, elitist ideologies by transgressive words and actions. His ironic wit and destructive acts against the System are incredibly revolutionary when placed in the context of ironic postmodern cartoonery.
Furthermore, Zorak, unlike the idiotic Brak (who has been ripped off by the Coen Brothers as both The Dude and Delmar in O Brother Where Art Thou?), has yet to be truly reproduced. For he is a paradigm of snarling revolution, the id in a bloated Westernist consciousness.
