Les Action

SoSFDavidO here for the next two weeks, takin’ the reins! It’s back to Mason’s sports car in today’s strip as Mason points out that making an action movie is apparently so easy that anyone with a video toaster can make one. Les’s “Chick Flick” is much, much higher art of course, somehow, even though the intent of every movie is to make a hell of a lot of money no matter what demographic they’re targeting. With bam-bam-CGI action movie Guardians of the Galaxy set to make 90 million dollars this week, why argue with success?

Fascinating Friday

SoSFDavidO here for the next two weeks, takin’ the reins! Here’s today’s strip, where Mason is introduced to the idea of making a movie based on someone in real life. Strange concept, I know, and so much so that it sounds like one of those experimental films like Andy Warhol’s movie that showed someone sleeping for 9 hours.

Still, it’s just so crazy it could work!

I do wonder what part of Lisa’s Story could be considered fascinating. Did the talking cat make it into the script somehow?

Autoboregraphy

SoSFDavidO here for the next two weeks, takin’ the reins! Here’s today’s strip, in which Mason, having realized the sorry lump of half-man sitting across from him actually lost his wife after an extended illness, looks amused as hell.

What in the world is he smiling about? It can’t be his own cold-cribbed comment, whatever that means. Was there some part between “Lisa’s Story” and “The Other Shoe” where Les and Lisa adopted a unicycle-riding bear and ran a wacky New Zealand B&B? Because that’s how amused Mason looks.

Ego Driven

SoSFDavidO here for the next two weeks, takin’ the reins! In today’s strip, Mason, the actor who’s got the unenviable task of playing Les Moore in the upcoming cancer drama Lust for Lisa makes the mistake of asking our humble writer to talk about his favorite topic: himself.

I only hope Les is honest.

Well, you see, Mason, I’m a self-centered, arrogant prick who uses other people as footstools to get what I want, belittling everyone from student I’m supposed to be educating to my own family members. And speaking of that, I have a daughter and daughter-in-law who I haven’t thought of in over two years because their personal achievements were starting to overshadow my own.

Mason is going to want a new agent by the time this is all over.
