The Original: Alex Graham first brought the basset hound to the world in the Daily Mail in 1963. The wise, wry dog has since gone on to be syndicated around the world, with Michael Martin taking over after Graham's death in1991.
Basset's day is usually spent commenting on his human owners foibles, or those of his canine friends.
Our Director Pick: Jason Reitman, who has proved he can adapt source material into interesting/uplifting/funny/heartwarming films. This will be, without a doubt, his biggest challenge yet.
The Pitch: Fred and his family head out for a trip to see some American cousins, giving our canine chum the chance to find not only truly love in the form of a snooty American poodle, but also new appreciation for the differences between the US and the UK.
And the dogs are all played by people in suits. Go for it, Reitman!

Charley's War would make a great film, or a series of them, even.

Wha....no Calvin and Hobbes!!! And the bash street kids have appeared in two cartoons from the Beano videos although it would make a pretty mental film.

I would have to say the uk's Dennis the menace. He could square off against the American version, the fight wouldn't last long I fear...
