Plus the readership for comic books is larger; the comic strips are essentially giveaways to newspaper readers -- nobody buys the paper for the comic strips anymore (well, besides me). The King characters do seem more suited to animated cartoon development -- all those listed have been adapted to series, some more than once. Then again, many comic book characters have done this too, including the "independents" (Turtles, Sam & Max, Spawn, etc.). So I guess bottom line: strips are just old hat.
