So on Monday, it was “Woe is me, no one has read my script or replied” but by today’s strip everyone has read it and is sending him feedback. The cat is making less and less sense the more he sticks around. It’s almost like there’s a gaggle of tulpa-cat loving housewives that just think Le Chat Blue is the best thing since Garfield. Can a Le Chat Blue hoodie be far behind? Viral Web memes? Macy’s day parade balloons!?
I still wonder what universe Les lives in where a book about someone’s wife dying of cancer would generate massive amounts of interest in Hollywood. I mean, for heavens sake, this is what people want to see in movies this summer:
Godzilla Slams San Francisco
Intelligent Apes Over-Run Mankind
Tom Cruise Does Groundhog Day
A Gun-Toting Raccoon and Talking Tree Save the Galaxy
Son of Stuck Funky 
Bad news Les, the only people commenting on the script are the people that clean the offices. They found it in the trash and decided to goof on you. Really who else but a complete hack (I’m looking at you TB) would serious suggest a title like “Lust for Lisa” for a death by cancer story.
Oh, poor, poor Specialest Snowflake Les! He’s being forced to endure constructive criticism! Will the abuse of the Evil Hollywood Machine never end?
“Email critiques”? “People who clean the offices”? WTF are these two morons babbling about today? The studio guy handed out copies of the screenplay and told everyone to reply to Les directly with suggestions? Um, yeah, that’s seems real likely there, Tombat.
Pretty clever how he barely advanced the “story” at all while leaving the “defending Lisa’s honor vs. Hollywood” theme wide open for whenever he picks this thread up again. Just shameless.
God. This prick is never happy, is he? First, it’s “no one is paying attention to my magnum opus” and now it’s “everyone is telling me that they know better than I do what’ll appeal to a mass audience.”
Five bucks says that Bathack is getting back at the people who wanted to make a live-action version of this less god-awful and bleak and claustrophobic.
@Paul Jones: Never happy?! Les is practically the deputy mayor of Westview- Where Happiness Goes To Die.
Of cancer.
Also of never realizing that it ain’t personal. They edit everyone in Hollywood.
Just a few days ago Joe Hollywood told Les the screenplay was “killer” except for the title. So who’s critiquing what here? TB is in such a rush to get his Delicate Genius into Tortured Artist mode that he can’t even remember his own story.
