Adam and Craig Malamut have landed a series order at Fox for an animated comedy series currently titled “Universal Basic Guys/The Hoagie Bros.”
The official series description states, “brothers Mark and Hank Hoagies suddenly find themselves with no jobs when the Glantontown Hot Dog factory switches over to automation. Lucky for them, the town started a radical Universal Basic Income pilot program, giving all residents of Glantontown 3,000 per month with no strings attached. Now, Mark, Hank and the rest of their local buddies are once again kids in the summertime, overflowing with the perilous combo of free time and stupid ideas. This is a show about men trying to find purpose in a world where they’re no longer needed.”
The Malamuts will executive produce the series. Fox Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television will co-produce, with Fox’s Bento Box Entertainment serving as the animation studio.

We always wonder how some ideas come to fruition. Take forexample the website Bread People. At some point there was a guy who had a littlebit of time on his hands, the necessary photoshop skills and an idea… a simplebut brilliant idea.
That guys name is Adam Malamut. And his concept is this,what would famous people look like if their heads were made of bread? And withthat Bread People was born.
His first culinary combination was Bread Favre.
(Continue reading and see more Bread People after the break)
From there,Malamut has been on a mission, to create a site that “provides pictures ofbread celebrities for you to look at.” Beautiful in it’s simplicity.
Among the stars and world figures he has transformed into toasty creationsinclude Don Garlic Knots and Benicio Del Churro.
Our personal favorite isChalla and Oates.
