A thread for the appreciation of cute little Teena and her funny friends.
PreTeena
Landon Phillips
Grayson Wright
Mom's leather pants.

I wonder why this never got an adaptation. Seems to me it could have done as well as one of those Jap semi-comedic SoL shows.
Christopher Rogers
Well, as someone said in a previous thread, when it was published plenty of networks were airing new cartoons based on comic strips, and all of them did poorly.
That's probably why. Too bad, since PreTeena is the one that cold have been done well. It would be a classic.
Sebastian Brown
Jose Scott
No undershirt?
Jaxson Cooper
No need, she's perfect and flat.
Jason King
That and the fact that Allison seems to want to keep her work pure. Apparently she turned down a book deal because the publishes wanted to age the characters up a bit.
Bentley Moore
True. TV producers may have presented retarded ideas that she didn't agree with.
"Introduce a new character"
"Age them up a bit"
"One pf them gets powers"
Gabriel Nguyen
Yeah. As much as I'd love new PreTeena content like a book or series, I have major respect for the creator sticking to her guns.
Angel Robinson
Her perfect pre-teen nipples aren't sensitive from puberty.
Luis Collins
I don't know, the early 2000s was a good time for a SoL cartoon, e.g. Hey Arnold, As Told By Ginger, etc.
Henry Cruz
Perfect bodies don't need extra shirts.
Jose Hall
Japan can do cute modern slice of life stories but we can't for some reason.
Hunter Hernandez
You're thinking about cartoons for kids, though, and both from Nickelodeon.
But animated cartoons in sitcom format did poorly back then, specially ones based on comic strips.
Dilbert failed, Committed failed, Baby Blues failed, and out of all the animated sitcoms from back then, only Futurama was successful. Mission Hill failed, and that show kicked ass.
So I totally see why producers would reject the project of animating PreTeena back then.
Samuel Bailey
Sweet! New art!
Thanks.
Forgot to say, even though I see the reason why producers would have been scared of investing in yet another cartoon based on a strip, that doesn't mean they were right.
Any project can be developed wrong, like Committed. I hear the strip is popular and nice, but I've seen some episodes of the animated version and it's just the fucking worst.
PreTeena the Animated Series wouldn't be a guaranteed success, if they fuck it up. It could be done really well, though. The material is there, it's a matter of how well they use it.
Blake Walker
Teena would look even hotter with long hair.
Austin Butler
What a hottie.
Oliver Baker
I don't think Allison would let them fuck it up. She seems committed to her stories and characters. I do agree the material is there though. I've been wondering the past few weeks what the best format of the show would be. The three week and longer arcs work perfectly as stand alone episodes. But there aren't a ton of them. However, the two weekers could easily be combined into A and B plots. And most of the one week plots and one offs would work fine as single scenes that fit the narrative of an episode. I feel like 22 minute episodes would work just fine, and the Sunday strips could even be used as cold opens.
Ayden Peterson
What's up with this character? Why is a boomer comic being shilled so hard suddenly? Is it shills?
Jack Rivera
It's a cutie redhead with a flat body and she's a bit of a tomboy. Why do you think that would be popular here?
Christian Cooper
fanart of the mom in lingerie when?
Josiah Green
why yes every poster in this thread besides you is me using proxy
Alexander White
yes please
Cooper Scott
>Is it shills?
Why would it be?
It's so hard to believe some people like this comic?
Brayden Robinson
Well folks I finally did it. I made Teena's cookie soup. And honestly it's not that bad.
Asher Jackson
Ah yes yes. I have been waiting for this thread.
Ian Parker
There's nothing to shill. The book isn't even sold anymore.
Jaxson Davis
Teen you didn't even have to shave. Don't be so smug.
Colton Carter
hehe YES
Chase Richardson
Wow. You're a true fan.
Send it yo Allison Barrows, she'll get a kick out of it.
Lucas Morales
It's hard to believe that this old ass comic strip managed to become FOTM across consecutive 500+ post threads.
Then again, this is pervy old Zig Forums. Anyone can force anything when they're obsessed enough.
Carson Barnes
for me it's frankly because it's expansive and new to me. I saved way more strips than I would need as references because I enjoyed them.
Jace Campbell
Teena is a dirty girl. Also:
>Don't sweat the small stuff!!
Although Kongou Banchou came out in 2007? So maybe it's some other reference?
Daniel Green
>Send it to Allison Barrows
I meant an email with the photo, not a frozen sample of the soup.
Matthew Wilson
You think so? I feel like it'd be kinda creepy to just send her a pic like that.
Gonna post the week of the relevant strip as well.
Jeremiah Ramirez
Dominic Smith
Jeri really hates bananas.
Matthew Green
Can you fix the color around her freckles on pic attached? That greenish tint makes her look seasick.
Ethan James
Cookie soup!
Blake Myers
>I feel like it'd be kinda creepy to just send her a pic like that
May be true...
Well, tell her your little brother made it after reading the comic, then it'll be cute.
Carson Harris
I have a similar issue with popcorn getting lodged under my tonsils. Sucks big time.
Michael Rivera
Sending her just the soup is a no-no, it looks like diarrhea, but if you make several pics of the preparation of cookies into the soup, that might be OK.
Easton White
I dunno, I wouldn't wanna be dishonest with her just to save face or whatever. It'd be cool to chat with her though.
