As you probably saw, Dilbert may be made into a live-action movie.  I came across an article today about comic strips that deserve movies.  With Marmaduke and Garfield getting their own movies, maybe some good comic strips could get a chance on the silver screen.

Here’s the list.  What do you think?

- Calvin and Hobbes
- Get Fuzzy
- Spy vs. Spy
- Bloom County/Outland
- Liberty Meadows
- FoxTrot
- Little Nemo in Slumberland
- Zippy the Pinhead
- Prince Valiant

You can see the rationale for each at Television Without Pity.

Crankshaft - 12.19.2008

Crankshaft’s only friend in the world is his son-in-law’s old and bitter mother, and even she doesn’t really seem to like him very much.  For those who don’t regularly read this comic strip, this is about as upbeat as it gets.

Garfield - 12.19.2008

I must admit, this made me laugh a bit - quite a feat for Garfield.

When I was growing up, my family owned a small store.  This was our method of crime prevention as well - A fake camera with a small red light.  It even had a cord that ran through the drywall and into the back room, where it abruptly ended.

Herb and Jamaal - 12.19.2008

Isn’t this former bum/millionaire the same as the “obnoxious white guy” they use from time to time in this strip?

Have a great weekend!
