A buddy comedy with a pickle and a peanut could only debut at Comic-Con, where strangeness lives and breathes.

But for those not at the event in San Diego, USA TODAY has an exclusive first look at the wacky title sequence and clip from the premiere episode of Pickle & Peanut. The cartoon, which mixes 2-D animation and live action, debuts on Disney XD in the fall, and it's definitely an insane departure from the other series on the cable network.

Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) voices the laidback pickle and Johnny Pemberton (21 Jump Street) is the more high-strung peanut as the two pals ride sharks, battle monsters and engage in other small-town misadventures with various supporting characters, including the buff Champion Horse.

The catchy title theme is written and sung by creator Noah Z. Jones (Fish Hooks) and Joel Trussell (Yo Gabba Gabba!), and more videos from Disney Television Animation's Comic-Con panels will be available on the Disney XD YouTube channel.
