There was one story where one guy pitched an idea about a cat.He didn't have any drawings of this cat nor any special hook about this cat and worse of all he expected everyone around him to flesh out the idea into a series where he would take creative credit.Demetrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416616105572824439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533060251712853383.post-56138434341088076992010-06-10T15:11:23.027-07:002010-06-10T15:11:23.027-07:00Who am I pissing off?

Because a pro would never shit all over a colleague's work. If they did, they wouldn't be colleagues for very long.<br /><br />There are a lot of things out there that are not to my taste. That's fine. I nod, smile and move on. If I like something, I say so. But the nit-picking that goes on in cartoon biz fandom is insane.<br /><br />There are no heroes. There are no villains. There are just a bunch of people doing their best, trying to earn a buck in a very tough business.<br /><br />So the kids are pissed off?

Why single any particular company out for the honour?<br /><br />I mean - I could. But that would just be mean and bitter of me.

I still have it as an attachment from a producer's email that I keep just to make sure it was for real and as a reminder that my ideas might not be so bad after all. But I just couldn't believe the premise, the more I read it the more nauseous I got, and I worked on some pretty sickening properties, but this one had a stench that just wouldn't quit. I e-mailed the producer back saying I didn't care how much I needed a job, I wouldn't touch that toxic piece of dung with a ten foot pole, I wouldn't even dare pass it along to my worst enemy.<br /><br />In comparison, I WISH it were about a brain on chicken legs rather than this oozing piece of radiation waste.JPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948005987931788144noreply@blogger.com
