“Maggers & Ripley” is a creative property produced by Strange Type Studio. Recognized by Animation Magazine’s staff in 2005 as the best proposal for a new animated property, Maggers and Ripley have also been seen in a sneak-preview mini comic that debuted at Wizard World Chicago ‘07. Currently, Shea and Josh, the manchildren who make up Strange Type Studio, are working on a children’s book showcasing the loveable pups. A character-driven buddy story, Maggers & Ripley follows the adventures (and misadventures) of an odd couple of canine ‘sisters’ as they match wits and go paw-to-paw with their neighborhood nemeses: the conniving French opossum, Jean-Paul Jorge Ringot, and the barely-domesticated big cat, Steve (A.K.A. Big Steve, “The Round Mound of Chow Down”).Tumblr (3.0; @maggersandripley)http://www.maggersandripley.com/“The only thing more annoying than a little sister is a little sister five times your size”http://www.maggersandripley.com/post/51496032http://www.maggersandripley.com/post/51496032Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:32:28 -0400<p><img alt="Maggers & Ripley" src="http://media.tumblr.com/kbxAyJiHye8wrkkcvuB7sjm2o1_r1_500.jpg" align="right" border="2" height="269" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="145"/><i>Maggers & Ripley</i> is a vibrant, light-hearted take on an age-old situation: the sibling dynamic. Maggers, a small dog, is accustomed to her place as “the lady of the house” in a home with a single father and his two teen sons. She is very particular and likes to keep the house in order and the family operation running smoothly.</p> <p>When her owner, Ned, brings home Ripley, a hulking 6-month-old stray, Maggers must learn to coexist with the high-energy behemoth. Ripley ― clumsy,awkward and always inquisitive, sees every experience as a grand new adventure and idolizes her new “big” sister.</p> <p>When the more refined Maggers is not nursing Ripley-inflicted bumps and bruises, she begrudgingly learns to appreciate the benefits of being a big sis: power, influence, and an adoring companion who is many times the physical size of her arch-nemeses, Big Steve, the neighbors’ bullying cat, and Jean-Paul, a troublesome French opossum.</p>http://www.maggersandripley.com/post/51486581http://www.maggersandripley.com/post/51486581Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:58:00 -0400
