scans_dailyLooks like DC Comics has some more re-imaginings coming your way.
First one up is Dastardly and Muttley, a Dick Dastardly and Muttley comic series. Here's the official announcement:
DC Comics has tapped writer Garth Ennis to script a new comic based on Hanna-Barbera‘s classic villains, Dastardly and Muttley.
The announcement, made by editor Marie Javins during the publisher’s daily press event at Comic-Con International in San Diego, did not include a targeted release date, and an artist has not yet been decided on.
It was implied, though not stated outright, that Ennis’ comic will follow the further adventures of the version of Dastardly and Muttley recently introduced in “Wacky Raceland.” The Mad Max-inspired series, based on Hanna Barbera’s “Wacky Races” cartoon, places the despicable duo in a post-apocalyptic death race, where talking, thinking, weapon-laden cars, flesh-eating nanites and undead hordes are the rule of the land.
The next one was reported by Bleeding Cool, but they have an image to backup the claim. We have coming in the future, The Jetsons by Jimmy Palmoitti and Amanda Conner!

Now, Jetson... I loathed that show. But I hated Flintstone too and it was made into a pretty fine comics.

I'm pretty sure Sir Mixalot had some say in the design.
