Would you turn your comic into a TV show?

Waste Of Time: The Animated Musical

Serious answer: depends on who's asking. I wouldn't want any "talking head" animation like Family Guy, I know my comic's not an epic adventure, but animation allows for so much body language, I'd want a studio that knows what it's doing on that front.

Also they'd have to be able to animate really bad dancing.

But seriously though, my comic as an animated musical sitcom is the dream.

[joannekwan]

Yes, as long as I get to oversee the casting, writing, and directing doesn't matter if it's animated or live action.

[Starfestival]

Hell yeah, I wanna work in the animation industry anyway, doing webcomics is just a way to get ideas out of my head. It'd be easier too because certain things I want to have impact don't translate well as a single still image.

[MissMagicGirl]

I would be over the moon happy if someone wanted to turn Magic Advisor into a tv show. I could see it as an live action show or an animated show.

[PaulDevers]

!00% definitely. Cartoons are the best, and kids and fun summertime stories are a cartoon staple. I think about cartoons a lot, and am actually studying for an animation degree, so maybe a cartoon about my comic isn't a impossibility one day!

[niinasalmelin]

Yess it'd be really interesting! I'd go crazy with music and colors. Full twin peaks!

[ToonDoctor]

I would let someone else tackle that, sit back and watch.

YEAAAH tv'd be the best adaptation as films tend to cut bits out with the need to condense, while tv programmes have time for character development subplots that are important to the main arc. SARGENTUM's a pretty slow burn anyway, and it'd fit well. i think i speak for everyone when i say i'd be INCREDIBLY picky about casting, costumes, location, any story edits, etc, because it's a weirdly plotted thing but it's MY weirdly plotted thing, u feel

[Wishjacked]

I don't think I'd want Crow Summer to be a TV show (maaaaaybe a mini series… but frankly, I don't know how I'd feel about relinquishing it to someone else and a different medium.)

But my practice comic? Heck, yeah! I actually wrote it with the TV show episode format in mind, and more than once someone's told me that it reads an awful lot like a sitcom. XD It'd be 2d animated, probably super stylized. I'd be totally chill with all the casting, except I'd want Chris Hemsworth (or someone equally well-known) to play Matt, and some random unknown kid from Alabama to play Stan. Because it'd be hilarious for Chris Hemsworth to constantly get jealous of how famous somebody else is. I have no idea who would watch my show, though.

[SpavVy]

Yeah, I'd do it if they wanted to turn my comic into and animated series but I'd rather it be when I'm more than halfway done with it, I'd be pretty mad if they jumped ahead of me and butchered it because I already have my ending planned out.

[davidlhickmon]

In a heartbeat. This is actually one of my dreams.

Ideally, Autumn Bay would be a live action series on Netflix, AMC, HBO, or something. I'd be cool with an animated adaptation.

Of course, I would maintain the rights to the comic itself and try for an advisory position (or, ideally, be the show runner).

[daviskiera]

Heck Yeah i would accept! lol
my story is video game themed and has virtual reality gaming in it so it would definitely be an animated series! The music i would want to be EDM all the way cause i feel it would fit better with the theme.

[Doubtcent]

Maybe not. I want the freedom to make what I want.

Making a webtoon might be a happy medium.

[Tentakustar]

It would probably be an animated cartoon! I don't really think my works would work well as a Live action haha

[Gaspode12]

That would be totally awesome! I'd want to turn All Fingers and Thumbs into an adult animated show, something like Bojack Horseman or Bobs Burgers.

[mac]

the comic i have up now (totally unworthy of linking) might make a good sitcom? maybe??? if it did those freeze frame, narration stuff like with stuck in the middle or lizzie mcguire

but the comic im trying to put together would probably have to be some kinda netflix deal, its a probably bit gay (and transgender for the matter..) for american tv lmao. i think it would be pretty good live action, but granted im still in the planning stage of all this lol

[KazumiTakashi]

Planet boy like a animated serie ? YEAH ! TOTTALLY !

But, I would want to participate from every step :x

[vongcw]

Aetherwar? I totally would turn it into a feature length film lol. It'll be roughly the write length minus a few scenes perhaps. With a Harry Potter-esque fantasy mixed in with Cthulhuian horror. Hahaha. I think it'd work well

[apurviance]

tl;dr answer: Nope*

Seeing how TV tends to treat creators I'd probably pass. Since I'm not pitching it, they'd only be buying the rights to secure the brand for something already in production, not to make my story. The contract would have to be fixed so I'd actually have rights to continue making my own comic, because I'd be surprised if it didn't try to claim exclusive rights in other media. Also, writers rarely have any input into the production process, not without a lot of legal negotiation.

*Exception: For a $h#t ton of money. 🤑
