Honkworm and cartoonist Gary Leib’s 2D and 3D animation studio, Twinkle, will co-produce a Webseries based on Doug Allen’s underground comic book story, JICKETT’S SPEED SHOP. As part of the deal, Honkworm will distribute the series and also retains rights for offline media such as books, television and merchandise. SPEED SHOP was first published in the comic book ZERO ZERO and chronicles 40-something hipster Jickett’s shady body shop. Honkworm’s VP of content and creative director Janet Galore and Leib will direct the series, with the animation and sound design being done by Twinkle’s Leib, Doug Allen and John Kuramoto. Honkworm’s CEO Johan Liedgren said, "JICKETT’S SPEED SHOP fits perfectly with the series we produce for Honkwom. We are excited to work with Gary, Doug and the phenomenal talent at Twinkle in adding JICKETT’S to the Honkworm family of programming." Leib said, "We were impressed with Honkworm’s production operation and its strong distribution alliances in the U.S. and around the world. Equally important, they are providing us with the forum to explore the world of comic books and punk rock we’ve been creating since the earliest days of underground press. We’re not just making an animated short, we’re presenting a whole filmic idea."
