Let’s play “The Price is Right”. How much do you think the dollar amount is on this douchebag’s check?
Well, if it’s enough to pay a year’s tuition at Kent times two, it’s gotta be at least $18,692. “Ann also says I get to write the first script.” I’m pretty sure that Ann says that just to mollify your massive ego, which will then be crushed once “the producers in Hollywood” bring in some real scriptwriters to do the job.
I can only imagine how “Wow!” sounds any different from 
Therefore, I imagine Cayla’s “WOW” sounding like the famous sound effect from the Little Rascals:
Cayla, honey: your first reaction to your husband’s good news probably should be something like “That’s great, baby! Congratulations!” instead of immediately trying to gauge how much money’s coming your way. “Television? Movies?!?“ Well, turns out both answers are correct in a sense…but taken together, they equal less than the whole.

By the way, in said year and a half, we have yet to have an actual name for the mysterious “Hollywood Buyer”…neither a person nor a company name.
Mysterious indeed, even to Les: “something called CME…Cable Movie Entertainment”. Sounds like the Funkiverse equivalent of the Lifetime Network or Hallmark Channel. Guess that means no big-name stars, no 3-D…so much for Les’ labor of love being made into “a real movie“.
What’s the perfect reward for someone who invests precious time and energy every day into actively hating and griping about a 41-year old newspaper comic strip? How about a handsome, bound volume collecting three years’ worth of that comic strip? You know you want this book.
I just wish I could come up with a clever and challenging contest around such a coveted prize. Instead, the path to winning is stupid easy: just leave a comment on this post between now and 11:59 PM EDT, Saturday, April 13. As in past giveaways, the winner will be selected totally at random using the WordPress plugin “And the Winner Is“. Enter as often as you like, but if you’ve won a previous giveaway, another winner will be randomly chosen.
Thanks to everyone who reads and comments on SoSF!
Your pal,

“It’s your agent…” …Ann Apple, whom we’ve not heard from in over a year and a half, which time Les has apparently spent preparing himself for a letdown. Before Apple Annie can even give the reason for her call, he launches into his concession speech. Silly Les!
