I have a sudden urge to watch Saved by the Bell reruns after seeing Stephen Edmond's Sitcomics. Edmond is an artist specializing in young adult novels and creative comic book covers. Edmond's Sitcomics series is filled with staple shows of the late '80s and early '90s including The Cosby Show and Step by Step.
I don't know how interesting a comic book about Family Matters would be, but I would pay cash money for a first edition of Saved by the Bell. The covers of Edmond's Sitcomics are silly and the art is simple, which is probably how these comics would be in real life. Unfortunately, there is probably no chance of any of Edmond's Sitcomics ever becoming a reality, so you'll just have to check them all out here.
