Cool seeing the little differences

Like the use of the comic's style but still glad they ended up going with the anime look
also seems Michael Caesar was definitely not planned for the television adaptation. Assumed he might of appeared in this but nah — most of the central cast showed up

Yeah, that surprised me too

Wonder why they never decided to use him. Even if just as a cameo :jbhmm:
per IMBD
In the comic strip, Huey has a best friend named Michael Caesar, but he never appeared in the series. According to McGruder, this is because he never found the right actress to do Caesar's voice
Jazmine was voiced by an actual little girl and in later seasons Cindy was voiced by Tara Strong so the reasoning sounds good. Dunno if Regina could of done another boy’s voice.

there was another member named Hiro who wasn’t in the show and was only in the earliest versions of the strip — that are now lost.

Yeah it looks like a pilot presentation. I respect Aaron for using the money to actually make the show close to what he really wanted and not watering it down.

Some people would have tried to make something that FOX would actually pick up by censoring it or making it tamer but he clearly just made it how he wanted it, knew they wouldn't pick it up, but he'd be able to use the Pilot they paid for the get interest from other more appropriate networks and studios
