8 Alternative Comics That Would Make Killer Movies/TV Shows

2. Milk And Cheese

Long before Aqua Teen Hunger Force proved that food could be heroic, Evan Dorkin's Milk & Cheese proved it could be psychotic. Dorkin €“ who would later write for the Adult Swim prototype, Space Ghost Coast to Coast €“ brought a much-needed sense of anarchy to nineties indie comics. The nineties were a bleak time for comics in general, but Milk & Cheese was a bright, shoving broken glass bottle into the frontal lobes of anyone willing to look outside of the mainstream. Here's the plot: a walking, talking carton of milk and a walking, talking wedge of cheese wreak havoc and crack jokes about hack celebrities and bad TV shows. The end. If the format sounds familiar, that's because it's been stolen by nearly every popular animated comedy show since then. The writers of fourth wall-breaking superhero comics also owe a debt to Dorkin's work. Without Milk & Cheese's obsession with Rescue: 911, you don't get Deadpool's obsession with Maude. Ten years ago, a Milk & Cheese series would have been on Adult Swim or Comedy Central, but in a new media landscape, the best bet for this property may be the internet. Animation isn't nearly as expensive to produce as it used to be. Keep the show independent, and you keep both credit and cash...which Milk and Cheese will promptly steal while beating you with a shovel.
