Actually, it was just a joke. I was adding to the "similarities" Futurama shares Peanuts and Garfield. Although a Futurama comic strip would be kind of cool.
But we don't need one, because as far as I know, Bongo is continuing with the bi-monthly comic books.

I had a dream that Futurama was brought back, but the style was Homestar Runner-esque.
It would be hilarious if the show was brought back exactly like that.

I think Futurama should be brought back as a series of russian stacking dolls.

Scratch that Homestar Runner style, this is how Futurama should exactly be brought back.

It's hardly canon if there's no Scruffy.

I guess The Late Philip J Fry could've worked. Having it at the end definitely would've raised the stakes for me as a viewer. (Not that I think anything other that Meanwhile should've been the finale  )

Which non-finale episode do you think could've worked as a full-out series finale?
I asked this question when I was new to PEEL, and I stand by my original idea: The Why of Fry. It resolves the show's biggest recurring plot and even ends with some shippiness, without completely overdoing it. Not to mention it has some of the best sci-fi the show's ever conceived. Another interesting choice would be "Time Keeps on Slippin'". A risky one, that is. It's one of the few episodes to end on an unhappy note, but I feel it would've actually been really sad as a finale. And I love being miserable.

I almost said Time Keeps on Slipping in my post earlier! I have a feeling a lot of people would've hated it as the ending, but holy shit it would've been a powerful one.
The Why of Fry would've made a better ending to the Fox run than The Devil's Hands, in my opinion.

After a re-watch, I very much agree with this. First of all, it's shippy; but it doesn't overdo it, keeping the Fry+Leela plot to a minimum, and putting the actual storyline on a higher pedestal. Next off, it's got plenty of call-backs, From obvious ones like The Brains from 'The day Earth stood stupid', or the smaller ones like Elzar's restaurant making an appearance, or Fry being at O'Zorgonax's Pub. What really makes me think it could've easily worked as a finale was the amazing storyline that really made the series feel full-circle. I'd go as far as to say it's one of the best Sci-Fi stories I've heard in a long time! The only thing that may have disqualified it was the fact that neither Hermes or The Professor made an appearance. However, I think the great story would've really made up for that fault.

In what website was it where you people got those Animatics for the new upcoming episodes?
How come it was only this website that posted them and a little bit on FMMB, but not at Fan Forum?
Also, forgive me if I've asked this before but why did it take so long to hear news about the show being cancelled or not?
1. http://carbonmade.com/ This is where the links posted in the SMFP animatic thread go to anyway, though the animatics don't seem to exist anymore. 2. Because it wasn't very well known (apparently the guy who posted it saw it back in March). 3. Because no one announced about Futuramas fate till April-Mayish, 2 months after CC renewed the contracts for their shows, but left Futurama on hiatus.

In that episode 30th Century Fox, how was Fry able to climb that high fence? Did Bender help him?
It's a cartoon.  Leela acted like Hayley from AD in that episode. Who knew Bender was a robo-animal right activist? He only cares for robots and not humans! Your sources of reference are either too obscure or simply not on the Futurama writers' radar. I'm sure it's coincidental. And Bender advocating for robot rights has been a staple of the show since the first season. It's perfectly in-character.

Another thing about Meanwhile, since Fry was born in 1974, did that mean him and Leela got married when he was pushing 40?
No, Fry is still 30. It's similar to the 29th birthday: Some women manage to stay that age for far more than 1 year...

I prefer to think there's an in-show tech reason. How else could the Prof reach 160?
I figured it was mainly just in reference to the fact that average human life expectancy continues to become higher in number gradually over the years... I don't think it's completely unfeasible to think that, in the next 1,000 years, at least one human being would eventually make it to that age (what, with advances in modern medicine and all).
