Parting Shot: HBO's 'The Wire' as a Hanna-Barbera Cartoon

I'm feeling a Van Partible (Johnny Bravo) vibe stylistically with this piece. Would have been an odd yet crazy crossover between the two shows. Awesome drawing.

I'd absolutely watch this. If this were really made back in the day, I'm thinking Scatman Crothers voicing Daniels, Micky Dolenz as McNulty and Paul Lynde as Prezbo the Dog. Is there anywhere I can get a cartoon Bunk Moreland "action" figure (with removable cigar)?

For your consideration: my updated piece with some much needed tweaks: http://paulsizer.deviantart.com/#/d3i7z4q
Thanks all!

Got me on that one, and that is being speedily rectified, Jeremy. I've been thinking of doing an update based on all the new knowledge I have on the show now, so maybe you'll see something with some of the details you mention. Still appreciate the good words, though. And I did know about heroin, so in retrospect the title could have been "Smack! Shot! Jackpot!"

As great as this is, you can kind of tell the artist never really watched the show (which he actually admitted), because:

1. The drug dealers on the show deal in heroin, not crack or pot, and
2. Any actual viewer of the show would have included Omar, aka the greatest character in TV history.

*rubs eyes, making Hanna-Barbera squeaky-noise* ...and is that Prezbo as a dog?!

A CARTOON STRINGER BELL NEEDS LITTLE SPECTACLES ON THE END OF HIS NOSE.

FOR REAL

CJ: Those are both acceptable responses; Ellis' REMAKE challenges are meant to evoke the sacred AND profane from the artists that do them. : )

It's like...I want to compliment this guy on his creativity/sense of humor AND vomit in rage at the same time.

Daniels and Avon are extra bald here. I'm having Harlem Globetrotter/Scooby Doo flashbacks.
