Liane Cartman, formerly known as Carol Cartman[a], is a fictional character in the adult animated television series South Park. She is the single mother of main character Eric, who raises him in the fictional town of South Park, Colorado. Liane is considered one of the more prominent parents of all the South Park parents, as she makes many appearances throughout the series.
Liane first appeared in the series' first episode "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", which premiered on Comedy Central on August 13, 1997. Though the first episode, as well as the "Spirit of Christmas" shorts made by series co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, were animated with construction paper through stop motion,[1] after the series third episode, "Weight Gain 4000", she is animated with a computer and rendered to mimic that style. Liane is named after co-creator Parker's ex-fiancée Liane Adamo, who broke up after he discovered she had an affair.[2][user-generated source?] She was originally voiced by Mary Kay Bergman, and later Eliza Schneider, and currently April Stewart.
As she frequently appears in the series, Liane has also appeared in many South Park-related media. This includes appearing in the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut, as well video games like South Park: The Stick of Truth and South Park: Phone Destroyer.
