A pilot episode of the proposed series was developed by Millionaire and animation producer Eric Kaplan last year. It aired as part of a competition which pitted dozens of pilots against each other, with the fans voting online for their favorites. The Drinky Crow Show was far and away the most popular new pilot, leading to the order for more episodes, which are tentatively slated to begin airing late this year or early next.
We'll have more news on this next week, including an exclusive Flog interview with Millionaire about the episodes that are just going into production.
This week's free preview is a downloadable 10-page excerpt of the new hardcover edition of Daddy's Girl, the long out-of-print Fantagraphics classic from 1995 by Debbie Drechsler. The excerpt includes the Table of Contents and the entire first story, "Visitors in the Night" (warning: explicit content).

(As a reminder, 20/20 Club members receive these previews two weeks before we post them on the website, just one of many great reasons to join up...)
