'Tis the Season
I'm proud to say I'm a union member. Of course, it's a stretch to say the Writers Guild is a union in the factory labor or dockworker sense. Ninety-five percent of the members are out of work most of the time, and they're the ones who call the shots when it comes to a strike. They love striking, because they can be seen in public on the picket lines, and get their pictures in the papers, and for once really feel like they're writers. But the union has been a good thing for me. It collects residuals. I got one the other day for $34. And that was for a movie I wrote over 25 years ago. And then there was this one, for one cent. I'm torn between framing it and going to B of A and trying to open an account with it.

John C, fell off my chair laughing at this cartoon, then fell off again laughing at your comment. Definitely, you should open an account at B of A. There may be many more of these huge amounts coming in anyday now! Actually, I think I would frame the last check. Too funny to be true!
Love it John! reminds me of an old Perelman piece. I too am a union member and actually walked picket lines. Roger
