"Cartoon Wars Part I & II" garnered a lot of attention for its censorship. While one of South Park's many controversial episodes was in production, Comedy Central still hadn't approved major portions of "Cartoon Wars Part I & II." Therefore, upon its release, Comedy Central aired the episode with a black title card over the Muhammed sequence and is unsurprisingly one of the South Park episodes not on HBO Max. However, South Park creators got into a feud with Comedy Central over depicting Muhammed, so they pushed the episode back. The episode, which aired in 2006, was initially set to be the first episode of the season. "Cartoon Wars Part I & II" is inspired by the Jyllands-Posten Muhammed cartoons controversy, in which a Danish newspaper published cartoons featuring Muhammed in 2005, sparking protests across the globe and even violence and riots in places like Benghazi.
