Dodge Greenely gives up on Pibby for good, internet points out it was never going to work

[Jman]

Pibby was a legal nightmare, and a rather mean-spirited show at that.

But it’s coming to television never.

The implication that Pibby only happened because Dodge was off his meds is absolutely sending me.

“The entire WB animation catalog... but they die. And it’s deep lore. And this isn’t from Deviantart. And here’s a couple original characters that I won’t tell you who the fuck they’re even supposed to be.”

Yep, it’s a continuous mystery why the single only company that could possibly answer for this didn’t accept the clearly cohesive pitch.

AS April Fools short that the creator wanted to pitch as a full show, only to be turned down.  He’s apparently been trying for years to no success, and has finally given up.

Technically, it was an AS Halloween short that had an April Fools stunt based around it the following year. But it's the same difference.

I honestly can’t tell if he is being serious or just having a giggle. Because that’s the exact type of person I’d expect Pibby to come from. It’s just too perfect.

The weird thing is AS kept prodding it along past the initial YouTube short that dropped on Halloween. The (suckass) April Fools prank and the couple of billboards. I think they even edited their twitter bio for it and still haven’t changed it. 
 

I guess you could argue it was classic AS trolling where they see people want something and give tiny glimmers of hope now and then even though they have no intention of ever following through. But that’s not something I expect from post Lazzo AS. 
 

What’s worse really is how many people thought this was a good idea, and not something thousands of middle school children came up with and have already beaten to death.
