Who knew that the nutcases who did In Living Color and the sublime I’m Gonna Git You Sucka would still be around in 2006? Well, they are, and they’re bringing their twisted-but-oddly-good-natured slapstick to a new Nickelodeon cartoon/hopeful franchise:

Call it Charlie Brown with a twist. Brothers Keenen Ivory, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, of “Scary Movie” and “In Living Color” fame, have created a series of animated children’s shows, with books and toys to follow.

Its name: “Thugaboo.”

The series of three specials will premiere on Nickelodeon, then air on the network’s all-animation channel, Nicktoons, a network spokeswoman said Wednesday.

They are still making that announced Homey the Clown movie, right…?
