Keenspot Webcomic GRUBBS Getting Animated TV Series Adaptation
The Keenspot webcomic Grubbs is getting an animated TV series adaptation. The comic draws inspiration from Calvin & Hobbes and Dennis the Menace, and it’s being adapted by M.J. Offen. The comic was originally drawn by newspaper cartoonist Ted Dawson and is now being illustrated by Marry Me artist Remy “Eisu” Mokhtar.
Grubbs “tells the story of 8-year-old Billy Watson, a ‘pint-sized chaos agent’ who is called ‘Grubbs’ by his big brother Zane. Grubbs, with the help of his imaginary friend Tyler, causes trouble wherever he goes. The comic is drawn in an old-school style with a modern spin.”
The animated show is now in pre-production with a planned launch this holiday season, with Grace Diamaranan of Glass House Studios’ Top Peg division overseeing the cartoon’s production. Voice casting is slated to happen this spring.
Grubbs’ next comic book issue, Grubbs Spring Break Extravaganza, hits stores next month.
