Comic: Teen Spirit
Here’s a comic that’s based on the wonderful logic of children. I overheard these magic crumbs of wisdom this past weekend when I was walking my dog around the local park playground.
Now that the writer’s strike is going on, maybe Late Night TV hosts, like Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon, should gather a group of 9 and 10 year olds to write thier material? Comedy gold falls from these pre-teen brains.
There’s no big story or a deep pondering to go with the comic this week, just a brief visit to that tender age when the bewilderment with life wasn’t rotten and stinky like spoiled fish sticks.
Ah, the honest comedic observations of youth. Maybe I should hire a pack of 9 and 10 year olds to write MY material?
Then again, how many would I be able to find who’ll work for candy bars and Skittles? Probably not many. Kids today are too sharp for the old sugar swindle. Although I heard there’s some desperate writers in Hollywood who might now consider it. Hold the line, Brothers!

Charming. See Dear God are you listening? it's me Margaret. Awesome new movie about children becoming teens.
That was perfect! I loved this. But, I don't think these kids would ever be scabs--but maybe the studios can find some horrible teenagers to fill in. (As the father of three teens and a very teenagery pre-teen I'm contractually obligated to state that not all teenagers are horrible)
