“Arbor Square” is a goofy & introspective adult animated comedy series created by Eli Murphy and Stevie Maxwell. It’s been in production since mid-2020 and follows Quinn and Jonathan, a pair of incompetent roommates-turned-baristas trying to make lives for themselves in the quirky titular borough of Arbor Square. Quinn is a non-binary wild card who spends their free time getting up to (semi-legal) shenanigans. Jonathan is a neurotic but soft-hearted lover boy who is often the only thing standing between Quinn and a prison sentence. Their boss Cassian does his best to maintain order and drive up profits for Arbor Square Coffee & Kombucha, but he’s locked in a bitter and potentially steamy feud with Jessica, the manager of the Skybears coffee chain across the street. Glenn, an eccentric hippie from a bygone era, is the cafe’s number one patron and rounds out the main cast. Together this odd group will discover what it means to be neighbors in the age of wage work and late-stage capitalism.
