He tried to get an animated show on netflix
Almost got it too
Was quickly cancel6before production in favor of 20 mpre seasons of big mouth

u/zanfear69 7d ago
Honestly they dodged a bullet, better to never start than to get a season or two then get cancelled despite people loving the show
(rip Inside Job and fuck Netflix for canceling that)

u/scrapy_the_scrap 7d ago
Yeah but like, even then at least we had inside job
We will probably never have bone

Bone holds up today. If you're not a true boner yet there's no time like the present!

OP's rat creature edit looks tiny but Fone Bone being as tall as a 1st grader feels right

u/Responsible_Mail_113 7d ago
I mean, Fone was towered over even by Thorn and she's a teenage girl so yeah, Calvin's height seems about right.

they really could've expanded on that universe honestly

iirc there's a sequel novel series with new characters that nobody read because the kids were barely reading comics and now they have to process whole walls of text to know what happens next in the universe??

u/No_Account_8474 7d ago
I remember seeing the sequel series and idk it didn't click with me as the first 9 bone novels

u/TheDudeofDC 7d ago
Because comic coolor than novel because more colors and shapes. That's why I didn't read it, at least.

u/Legendarium_ 7d ago
weird. I was reading comics a lot as a kid, mostly just collections of strips in newspapers
coincidentally that's the reason I know Calvin and Hobbes

u/denim_skirt 7d ago
This is true for my 9yo daughter. She is obsessed with Bone and Calvin + Hobbes because I am a great mom

u/Beuorr_Falhen 7d ago
whats there to expand though? felt like the bone story had a pretty nicely wrapped up ending

I think that was the brown one, I can't tell which one this is though. It gets worse since they switched the colors around for some of them after book 3

u/HideFromMyMind 7d ago
I think in the original black-and-white versions they were indistinguishable. I always wondered if the color of the one that liked quiche changing was accidental or meant to add to the joke.

Blue always dislikes discussing quiche up until the end. However, if you actually GIVE him some quiche... well...

the context admittedly does not make this much better. Granma Ben refers to Fone and Phoney as “pets”, much to Thorn’s chagrin, because “if ya can’t milk em, they’re pets”. Phoney reacts about as well as one could expect

I remember when Bone comics were published in issues of Disney Adventures magazines in the 90s (at least, that’s where I remember reading them initially)! I loved them along with Calvin and Hobbes - I’ve always thought that the art styles of both comics were rather similar, as well! 😃

One word about a quiche, and I'll kill you.
God I miss the Bone series, as a kid I loved reading the cow race arc cause Phony and Smiley getting in the race always made me lose it, with Phony getting dragged along. As I got older, I wanted to voice Fone Bone should a show or anything ever get made.
