I didn't really consider this interesting until I saw the author's name. If comedy plays a big part, I might be able to expect some good laughs from this.

Sounds really interesting. PTW. :)

Also if this kind of thing gets adapted i'm hoping they'll pick up webtoons (korean comics) that are good and ongoing. :)
