    We called it "Squigglevision" back in the day animating Dr Katz and the first 5 episodes of Home Movies (Cartoon Network). You can simply redraw each line frame-by-frame or create additional keyframes and select the artwork and click the "Smoothen" tool in the Properties panel to altar the vectors.

    It's called 'boiling' line.

    You can redraw, you can do a quick smoothen or you can try to use a plugin, called Boiler.
