Pibby Godhead Dodge Greenley shared another flavor at what could ’ve been - and the future was n’t looking near for the Snorks , either .
This workweek , we ’ve had the distinct honor of revisiting the existence ofDodge Greenley ’s " Pibby . " For those who need to know the backstory , Adult Swim’sCome and Learn with Pibby!saw our hero ripped out of her safe preschool world and befuddle into unknown lands . To stop the sketch Book of Revelation , Pibby needed to produce up , get catch up , and embrace her intimate badass if her and her friends and allies fend any chance against ghosts from ( now ) Warner Bros. Discovery ’s multimedia past & present . From there , Pibby ’s field of battle extended to Adult Swim ’s April Fool ’s Day 2022 – where we witness how the transmission / corruption had gotten to the later - night programming block ’s salutary and brightest ( suss out out our recap from that night below ) .
But in October 2023 , Greenley took to Instagram to announce , " I ’m sorry to say that Pibby has still not been greenlit , and it does n’t look like it will materialize in the near future . " Since that time , Greenley has post looks at what could ’ve been – from Pibby facinga Huckleberry Hound horrorto Pibby go the meta rules andYosemite Sam getting corrupted . On Thursday , Greenley offered a feel at graphics for a storyline he had planned forJohn R. Dilworth ’s Courage the Cowardly Dog – one thatwouldn’t have end well for the fearful wienerwurst . Now , we ’re drive a look at what was in the cards forNic Broca ’s Snorks – an animated series spotlighting a race of small , colorful humanlike sea wight that reside in Snorkland that be given for four seasons ( 1984 - 1989 ) .
" I would dig through the Cartoon internet and Warner library look for old characters I could corrupt , and I chance this uncanny undersea criticise off of The Smurfs shout The Snorks . I think a tantrum like the famous hall scene in Old Boy where Pibby lento fights through a horde of these wet hob with a power hammer , " Greenley wrote as the caption to his Instagram post , which also include a look at the nontextual matter .
