[Adult Swim] Should Air Ralph Bakshi Films/TV Shows

To:  The Superiors at [Adult Swim]

This petition is a public announcement that We the Undersigned would like to see the animation films/shows of Ralph Bakshi aired on Cartoon Network’s [Adult Swim] programming block.

Within the next couple years there will be many releases from Ralph Bakshi Productions, including, but not limited to:

Last Days of Coney Island, Animated Feature Length Film
This Ain’t Bebop, Photopoetry Book
Wizards II, Graphic Novel
As well as other In Production and Soon To Be Announced works.

With all the press surrounding the appearance of Bakshi Productions at 2005’s San Diego Comic Con, there has been a large surge in posting on the Official Ralph Bakshi Message Board on his new site: www.ralphbakshi.com/forum

Because of [Adult Swim]’s main focus of airing unique and original works by both reputable and underground animators it seems that the airing of a selection of Ralph Bakshi’s classic films would be highly appropriate.

These are the films that seem appropriate for [AS] air time:
