Evan Dorkin, the creator of the short-lived Welcome to Eltingville who also penned scripts for Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and worked on the English dub of Shin Chan was recently interviewed by Toon Zone along with his partner Sarah Dyer. Dorkin and Dyer talk about their experiences working in television and in comic books. I don't read many Super Girl comics, nor did I watch the Superman animated series that debuted in 1996, both of which Dorkin and Dyer worked on. I was, however, a fan of Freakazoid!, which, according to Dorkin (who left the show before it aired), was originally conceived as a funny action cartoon as opposed to the goofball superhero comedy it became, a decision made by executives who wanted the series to have more commercial potential. Dorkin also mentioned the series he's hoping to have picked up by Adult Swim titled Tyrone's Inferno, the story of a demon sent from Hell to Earth for being obnoxious. That series is currently in production.
