So, what strips (whether on paper or online) would you look forward to seeing as an animated series? Here's a few of mine.
- Calvin & Hobbes (if only Bill Watterson didn't have such a big stick up his butt when it comes to tasteful licensing, then this would be an obvious choice.)
- Baby Blues (I know there was a very short-lived one from 1999, but it's such an in-name-only adaptation that it barely focuses on Wanda and Darryl, let alone Zoe, the baby the strip is named after. A do-over with more involvement with the creators would be nice, and maybe have it focus on the later years of the strip with all three kids.)
- Zits (this would make for a nice network primetime slot if networks that aren't Fox weren't so stubborn about devoting some of their schedules to primetime animation. Jason Marsden would be very fitting for voicing Jeremy since every time I read a Zits strip, I just can't un-hear teenage Max Goof's voice. )
- Heavenly Nostrils (if a Calvin & Hobbes series would be unlikely, then C&H with a unicorn would be the next best thing. And since Tara Strong voices a certain other magical equine, why not have Grey DeLisle, who has worked with her on many other projects, voice the titular Marigold Heavenly Nostrils?)
- Pearls Before Swine (yet another obvious choice. I'd love to see how fourth wall gags are handled here.)
Note that these are all strips that the Comic Strip Critic endorses, and I wholly agree with him.
