The Cartoon Hangover Youtube channel already has a hit with Bravest Warriors, and now Bee & PuppyCat may be its next triumph. Cartoon Hangover is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to make the short animation into its own series. The property has already been licensed for a CCG (see "'Bravest Warriors' and 'Bee and Puppycat' CCGs"), and now will also have its own comic series.
Bee & PuppyCat’s three videos have garnered over 4 million views on YouTube. Now creator Natasha Allegri (who has worked as a storyboard artist and revisionist on Adventure Time) is hoping to make a web series. The story follows Bee, out-of-work twenty-something, who has a life-changing collision with an odd creature she names PuppyCat. The Kickstarter campaign’s aim is to create six new six-minute Bee and PuppyCat cartoons, to be released in the summer of 2014. It currently has garnered nearly $475,000 from almost 10,000 backers (averaging around $48 a backer), with nine days yet to go to reach its $600,000 goal.
BOOM! Studios recently announced it will be doing a Bee and PuppyCat comic series. (Natasha Allegri has already written and drawn the Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake series for BOOM! , and BOOM! also publishes a Bravest Warriors comic.) BOOM! only released a teaser image with a 2014 date, and has not revealed the creative team set to oversee the work. The announcement was obviously timed to coincide with the Kickstarter, since the comic is listed as a pledge premium at the $75 backer level, complete with its own Kickstarter Exclusive variant cover.
BOOM! Comic Too
