Support the Development of The Vaughan Boys

You know during the late 2000s, animation hasn't really been at it's strongest, with more CGI features and tv cartoons being either mostly juvenile or just boring and descent animators careers being crudely over shadowed, theres really no helping them. However things have turned around for the better with such animated features like Disney's The Princess and the Frog, The Adventures of Tintin, Rango and Fantastic Mr Fox; we've even seen more great animated projects like Adventure Time, the debut of talented new animators, the improvement of the my little pony francise and the return of the Looney Tunes, Beavis and Butthead and Gorillaz. But what I really want to talk about today is a certain british cartoon that is probadly under development right now, that cartoon is called The Vaughan Boys.
Now normally I wouldn't be hyped or that supportive over this sort of thing but while I looking through the web recently and I found this picture out of curiosity and was suprised to know that this was a product developed by Brian Wood and Andrew Brenner, the same people behind the Cramp Twins. Now I have praised the Cramp Twins in my previous blog posts and I've talked about Brian Wood and his previous works.
According to Brenner's website it's suppose to be about a family of mostly brothers which sounds pretty promisng to be honest. I've only just found this on Andrew Brenners website and must say it doesn't really look like Wood's style (for the moment) but I'm sure they will make it more like Cramp Twins; after all this picture is just a rough prototype right.

I have two reasons why this show should be put into development and why it should be greenlighted

1. It has been years since cartoonist Brian Wood has made another product. I think of this show to be the perfect opportunity for Wood to return to animation as he has disapered for a long time.

2. The Vaughan Boys could possibly be the revival of Cartoon Network's co-european production line as Angelo Rules wasn't that good a show. It would also be the thing that CN UK needs to redeem themselves.

So here are my reasons on why I think The Vaughan Boys should be greenlighted or put into development, Andrew Brenner has stated that Cartoon Network UK has considered making a pilot of it. Personally I dont care if it's good or bad or if they just make one episode i just want to see Brian Wood make a comeback as it's been so long since we've seen a recent product by him.
