It has been revealed that Google has signed a deal with the creator of cartoon hit Family Guy and will be releasing his new show online.

Customers with super-fast broadband will have easy access to Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy from Seth MacFarlane, which will be distributed through Google's AdSense system, according to the New York Times.

Mr MacFarlane told the newspaper that the two new shows will be "animated versions of the one-frame cartoons you might see in The New Yorker, only edgier".

The news could indicate that the internet is set to play an increasingly instrumental role in the creation and distribution of entertainment - highlighting the importance of a reliable broadband connection.

Other shows which have been created by Mr MacFarlane include American Dad!, Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo, although Family Guy - based around the tribulations of the Griffin family - is perhaps his best known work.
