    Horse Sense

    "You've probably heard the saying that anything can happen in Hollywood. Well that's just nonsense! Hollywood is a very normal place, and except for a minority of people - like my partner, Rodney O'Mara - the entertainment business attracts very few screwballs, creeps or featherheads. To get ahead in movies, radio or television, you've got to have talent, industry, and a level head. So that saying about anything can happen in Hollywood simply doesn't apply... Except for my partner Rodney O'Mara..." As it turns out, the two of them just lost a Hollywood deal to 'Frisco Frank. So they decide that they'll use a different tactic - to find a big name, and build a series around him instead. Or a horse.

    Flight Plan

    If you're married, it's likely you don't have as much trouble getting your husband out of bed in morning, as Jean does with her husband, Don. It's a little bit different for them, as he works nights. Not because he has to, but because he says it's easier to think at night - easier to let the imagination run free - and when you're a cartoonist, that can be pretty important. Jean believes his imagination is wonderful any time of the day though, at least, they would never have gotten married, or even had that first date if it weren't for Don's imagination!
