Lovefool has talked a lot about movies based on comics, but this week she takes a look at her DVD shelves and ponders Clueless and other movies that would make great comics.

So I was glancing at our DVD shelves this afternoon, trying to figure out if I wanted to watch a movie or not. I mean, it's Sunday afternoon. That's what it's for, right? At the same time, I was thinking about sitting down to write this column before Monday night so that I didn't have to spend all day feeling bad about it tomorrow. (I was probably also thinking of, like, eighteen other things, which is why I never get anything done...) While I was having these idle thoughts, my wandering eyes fell upon the iridescent pink box of my deluxe edition of Clueless.

Clueless: Since it's what started this, of course I'd want to see it as a comic. Maybe a little manga-ish. In fact, Clueless would've been perfect in DC’s old Minx line. Cher is, ultimately, just a girl who wants to make the world a little better and look fabulous while doing it and, I'm sorry, but what girl doesn't want to do that? It could be a little Katy Keene, a little Gloom Cookie. Fabulous fashion with a heart of gold and just a liiiiiittle bit of an edge.
