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."

  1. To infinity and beyond by Rs_Conqueror · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The thing that makes this so noteworthy is that this is quite possably the FIRST webcomic to ever become a full featured animated series. I'm quite excited to see who else will follow in Tim Buckly's footsteps. Tyco and Gabe perhaps? You never know...

      Besides, CAD has such a vastly different style

      Really???

      Because the first thing to enter my head when I first saw it was, "this looks almost exactly like Penny Arcade, except it's slightly less funny."

      (and by that, I meant that Penny Arcade is not particularly funny, and this strip is not funny at all.)

      IMHO, YMMV, TEHO, yadda yadda yadda...

  2. This is awesome except... by Prince+Lorak · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...we finally get to hear what the characters sound like. I think that that's the worst part of things like this, especially in books converted to movies. We've all been mentally holding the voices of the characters, and now that image (sound, I guess) is shattered because we now know that the new voices are what the author intends them to sound like.

    What if it's a justified slashvertisement? Geeks like games, what about comics about games? Seems like more than a few people will see this article and get into the comic/show. Not that I'm promoting the idea of slashvertisements in general, but this seems very different than an established product or company.

  4. Temped, but I'd like to buy the DVD instead. by vertinox · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Although I'm a big fan of CAD, but $2.99 per episode for something watched online seems a bit steep unless these are downloadable in iPod video format.

    I've actually bought DVD of Homestar Runner - Strongbad Emails and enjoyed them very much and would like to see the same eventually happen with CAD.
