Ctrl-Alt-Delete Animated Series Announced

Happ-why writes "Tim Buckley, the creator of the Ctrl-Alt-Delete webcomic, has today announced a new animated series." From the site: "The Animated Series will debut in February of 2006, consisting of a brand new 4-5 minute animated short every month. All new material, fully animated, featuring professional voice actors hand chosen from over 1400 auditions. The episodes are written by me, directed/produced by Ryan Sohmer and Randy Waxman, the great guys over at Blind Ferret Entertainment, and brought to life by a professional animation studio."

At the first PAX last August the PA duo said they were working with someone on animated projects, and showed a animated/voiced version of the Cardboard Tube Samurai series of strips they had done that summer. I'm not sure what's taking them so long, but know that when PA debuts animated content it won't be because CAD did it first.

Though I personally am much more a fan of Penny-Arcade, CAD probably lends itself better for an animation because Tim usually presents story and continuity, and this is a brave and pioneering move for a webcomic...And judging from the trailer the animation follows the overall feel of the comic quite nicely, which is good. I remember reading in an interview with Tycho, though, that they had been approached about an animated series once and even had actual scripts safely stored in a drawer...who knows, maybe after this move by CAD we'll see a P-A cartoon...that would truly be amazing...

The news post forgot to mention that the episodes will be charged though. $2.99 a peice or free if you become a Premium member of CAD...Bummer...I'm pretty sure with the huge readership numbers that website gets he could easily have procured some kind of sponsorship...(Maybe he'd even make MORE money that way because more people would watch the episodes!)...
