Your one Trump link on this blog for today is to Robert Reich's list of 40 promises that Donald has broken. And none of them are small ones.
Thank you for all the nice comments on my overlong-but-fun Conversation with Max Maven. I know we sent some viewers scurrying to YouTube to check out some of the magicians we mentioned. Coming Up: On Tuesday, September 8, I will do a Conversation with Carl Gottlieb, chatting with a fine screenwriter (Jaws, The Jerk and many others), and a man who was on the premises or very close-by for some of the most important advancements in comedy since the sixties.
Then on Tuesday, September 15, there will be a Conversation with Dennis Palumbo. Dennis was my partner when I broke into writing for television and I'd say we'll discuss all the fights we had amongst ourselves but I don't think we ever had one. We parted friends and he went on to become a screenwriter (like of your favorite movie, My Favorite Year) and a mystery novelist and a psychotherapist, mainly for folks in show business who need such assistance. I'm sure he has no shortage of clients. You will enjoy this webcast but not as much as I will.
No plans for any more Cartoon Voices Panels yet. There will be more. I just don't know when. I have promised Shelly Goldstein she can interview me one week like Sergio did and I've also agreed to do one with Scott Shaw! so those lurk in my future. Several other fine folks have agreed but I don't have firm dates yet.
That's it for now. I am off to Costco where I expect to bring back cases of supplies, a rotisserie chicken and probably at least one Tales From Costco. I always come home from there with more anecdotes than paper towels.
