Category: Son of Stuck Funky

Fraidy Cat

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

Tweaker Man

Hoo-boy, SoSfDavidO here and I’m quaking with excitement! Big Cable saw the screenplay and thought it was killer! From the looks of today’s strip, there might be a change or two needed. Of course, this immediately veers into unbelievable land.

Lisa’s Story (the book) was a huge hit, right? Remember the book tours? The interviews? The fans lining up just to shake hands with the Amazing Les Moore? Why is the fact it was a huge hit a big deal? Think of it this way…

Hollywood: “Hey, Dan Brown, we just bought the rights to make “The DaVinci Code” into a movie! I mean, the book has been on the bestseller list for 3 years and everyone loves it…we just want to make one change..”

Dan Brown: “What’s that?”

“Hollywood: “The title is kinda bland. Needs some punch. How about “Murders and Medieval Art?”

Dan Brown: “Well, I’m sure that won’t confuse book fans. Let’s do it!”

Cat-Astrophe

Pushed so hard? Is there some other comic strip Les is starring in that I’m not aware of that’s being referenced to in today’s strip? For the past three years he’s sat down at his computer a handful of times and bitched about no one understanding his genius but done very little actual writing. From his MS Word’s point of view Les has been in and out of a coma for the last couple of years.

3 years = 1095 days
1 page of script = 1 minute of screen time. (old rule of thumb)

With that in mind, Les was hunting and pecking out a paragraph a day, if that. Some inspiration Saint Lisa was!
The cat should have walked across the keyboard. It would have probably had better results.
