What if Other Characters in Family Guy Got Their Own Spinoff Shows!

Chicken Tonight:
Ernie the Giant Chicken ditches his usual angry demeanour, and day job, and becomes a popular late night variety chat show host. TV Executives are worried the show’s longevity will be short-lived as he focuses on Greek Urns, celebrity gross earnings and even grosser yearnings. He digs deep to reveal the dirt on celebrities, focussing only on people called Ernie, but may consider celebs named Erney, Ernee, or possibly even Bernie in Season 2 to broaden his appeal.
good work! this a great illo and I always love seeing people’s interpretations of the classic Sesame St characters (ie not Elmo) I loved the way Jack Davis drew Ernie and Bert in the old Mad mag parody and your style is reminiscent
Thanks, Ross! Although I don’t feel worthy to be compared to Davis! That Sesame Street one sounds familiar. I’ll have to have a flip through the collection. Thanks again, good buddy…
