Remember his “book tour interviews” arc where the interviewers clearly never even read his book? it’ll be exactly like that, only with shallow, money-grubbing “Hollywood folk” in place of Radio Ron and etc….it’ll be a ponderously long arc resulting in Les refusing to capitalize on, alter or trivialize Lisa’s Story for fame or financial gain, which is pretty ironic when you think about it.

…While I agree that this is a likely scenario, Epicus, I think it’s possible that this storyline ends a bit differently. Les may pull the ultimate smug-tactic and refuse the option before it gets to that point in order to preserve the “sanctity” of Lisa’s Story’s or whatever.

…Les had absolutely no problems with exploiting Lisa’s death in prose form. Having him all conflicted and cautious about a cinematic version seems rather odd.
Yes, ol’ Spanky does seem to be conflicted, and the more I think about it, I can definitely see Les just saying no to Hollywood, Summer’s opinion be damned. Maybe that’s wishful thinking on my part, because yeah, I’m imagining a whole drawn out “Making of Lisa’s Story: the Movie” arc, going on for months, with TB getting all the details wrong…I couldn’t take that.
It’s hard to tell what exactly is happening in panel 3. Has Ghost Lisa failed to manifest? Whenever Les “talks” to her, we see her too. But today Les looks very alone. Has Lisa not only gone from his eyes, but from their favorite park bench too? Has she at long last been exorcised?

Les’final book of the Biblenon-fiction book is about to move to a new level of media greatness…the followers, disciples, and apostles are gathered at The Grounded One’s feet…Lisa is about to be beatified…Ladies and gentlemen, The Grand Finale as I described it is back on track.
Dan, my friend, I admit to being one of those who scoffed when you began suggesting that TB was working towards TGF…but when you yourself started to doubt that eventuality, I felt a little sad. It’s good to hear you declare that it may yet come to pass. From your lips to TB’s ears!
