Being a superhero isn’t easy, but it sure is funny.

It’s also a chance for animators to bring together the polish of CG and the classic squash and stretch style of classic animation in the new Nickelodeon comedy series Fanboy and Chum Chum, which premieres Nov. 6 at 9 p.m. right after the debut of SpongeBob SquarePants’ Truth or Square.

Created by Eric Robles, the series stars David Hornsby as the voice of Fanboy, an 11-year-old boy obsessed with comic books who finds himself in strange and funny adventures with his trusty sidekick Chum Chum.

Following its premiere, the show will air in its regular slot of Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. starting Nov. 7.

Here’s an exclusive clip offering a first look at the new series.

  Nice, slick look. But it would be better if the characters yelled and screamed more. Over-acted as much as possible. You know, something different. OH BOY THAT WOULD REALLY BE FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY!!!!

  With the sound off it plays as cutting edge cliche in complete silence. But the shading program provides comfort factor to burn. This will be their Spongebob! Oh, wait...
