Legendary Spy Dog 00K9 Goes to Comic Con Palm Springs in 3D Animated Comedy “CANINE ROYALE”
Industry: Books
Secret Agent 00K9, is an animated book series written by award winning animation producer Brian Neil Hoff featuring a spy dog biped existing in animal-human fantasy world
Palm Springs, CA (PRUnderground) June 6th, 2016
Brian Neil Hoff announced today the publication of the third book in his Secret Agent 00K9 series, Canine Royale.
The idea for the spy dog character Secret Agent 00K9 came from Brian’s dog Cosmo who, as a 3-month-old puppy, seemed to stalk the neighbor’s property. Brian thought he was acting like a spy. In 2004 he wrote the screenplay Spies in the Hood, which featured two boys who trained their dog to be a spy and nicknamed him 00K9.
In 2006 Brian began visualizing 00K9 as a biped who drove cars and carried out other human-like activities. He developed the concept further in the 2007 screenplay 00K9, in which there were only animals in a strange fantasy human-like world.
In 2008 Brian began turning the characters and concept into a Secret Agent 00K9 2D book series. In October 2014, after several years of working full time and creating one character and scene at a time with artist Alfie Vann, he self-published the first book, The Fast and the Furriest. He published the second book, The Bone Ultimatum, in December 2015.
Additional plans for 2016 are to launch 00K9 and the cast of human-like animal characters into the world of 3D in a new animated feature film, also titled Canine Royale. Brian will have an exhibit at Comic Con Palm Springs August 26-28.
The Secret Agent 00K9 books are available from the author and online from Amazon.com, Barn’s and Noble Kids Club, and other retailers.
