An adaptation of an online comic from Penny Arcade.

One reason for Paramount acquiring New Kid is that the company is nearing the end of its current distribution deal with DreamWorks Animation. According to unnamed insiders, the studio is seeking animated material to fill a possible void if it can't renew its agreement with DWA.
