I love that this short — created by Harry Partridge and posted a day before the Zack Snyder movie was released — exists. It presents a happier version of the Watchmen, as if they were a Saturday morning cartoon, with a buff Nite Owl, Ozymandias saving the Comedian from falling, Rorschach being an animal-loving comedy character, Silk Spectre being Jem, Dr. Manhattan acting like Turbo Teen and Ozymandias and Bubastis being afraid of ghosts like Shaggy and Scooby-Doo.

There’s also the psychic squid, three Dr. Manhattans in bed and The Comedian being in love with Silk Spectre, who is his daughter. Dave Gibbons said, “The thing is, obviously they’re having fun with it but the way it was done, you know that the person really cared about what they were doing…really knew Watchmen in detail.”

Now I wish that this was an actual show, just like how I wanted the toys in the comic to exist.
