Comedy Central has ordered an animated pilot for @DadBoner, based on the popular Twitter feed of fictional Michigan man Karl Weizen and the book it inspired, Power Moves: Livin’ the American Dream, USA Style. The series will be co-written by comedy writers Mike Burns, who writes the Twitter account, and Tim Long. Per Deadline: "On the show, Karl Welzein has developed his own philosophy of life, indulging in dangerously generous helpings of booze, fast food, and American pride.
