Here's a preview of a segment from Showtime's upcoming This American Life show, animated by Chris Ware!
This cartoon is about schoolkids who started making fake video cameras out of card board boxes and toilet paper tubes to "film" incidents around the schoolyard. Because they had these phony cameras to hide behind, they distanced themselves from each other, losing their concern for the wellbeing of their fellow students. The school administration responded by banning the cameras. It's a perfect story for Ware to animate.
I got an advance DVD of the first four episodes of Showtime's This American Life, and I love it. They did a terrific job of making a TV show with the same feel as the radio program. Link
