I really love this web comic. I'm very unsure how it will translate to anything beyond its current scope, which is essentially translation of individual "moments" into literal language. The shtick doesn't have a chance to get old when it's never a situation longer than like 6 panels. But I'm curious enough to be mildly interested.

And by all means, good for Nathan Pyle for cashing in on this. That's awesome.

Seconded. This comic is a real gem. I'm glad to see it's author do well from it, but I'm uncertain I would consume a Rick and Morty-style episodic instalment of moving pictures of it.

On that note, I'm not even certain the playfully literal language style of the comic can be sustained for 20-30 minutes straight, without getting old. I hope it can - in a similar vain it worked for the movie Home (though I've never read the Smekday book to know if that was invented by DreamWorks for the movie, or came over from the page)
