Failed Pilot

….for exposing the fact that I have no original ideas.

You can start saving up today. The shelves in my office must buckle under the weight of Born Loser, Crankshaft, Frank and Ernest, and Tumbleweeds anthologies. Competing writers fear no more, as I’ve eschewed all inspired book proposal ideas in favor of a 1,328 page examination of marginal funny page underdogs.

That’s right. The barely-veiled racism, the strips written and illustrated by two people, the existentialist box car hobos, the crotchety bus driver that grumbles at technology….I can’t get enough!!

The Murph made the cover of EW, so I took it down. He refused to be interviewed for the feature. Arsenio Hall did not refuse. In the writer’s argument that Eddie is on the upswing, he deftly avoids any mention of Norbit - a movie that I will see in the theater. I’d still get behind an exhaustive 900-page biography.
