After twenty five years of marriage, I know how funny it can be. Increase the number of people entering matrimony, and we increase the fun. And it gives us humorists more material.

Cartoon Marriage Script Bought by ABC Studios
Cartoon Marriage, the book I did with my husband, Michael Maslin, based on our life together as New Yorker cartoonists, is in the process of becoming a television show. Just last night we heard that ABC Studios bought the script as written by the wonderful and talented Terri Minsky (Lizzie McGuire and Less Than Perfect creator). It all began about a year ago, when actress Jennifer Garner saw our book (via our agent David Kuhn) and fell in love with the idea. The show will be produced by Jennifer’s production company, Vandalia Films. We are thrilled. To read about it, go to Deadline Hollywood, or Hollywood Reporter
So far, it’s been a fun and wild ride interacting with Hollywood. All good so far. I love entering into new fields, trying new things. We got to meet Terri Minsky for a day at our home, and it was great fun. She is hilarious and thoughtful and I know is writing a wonderful script. We are crossing our fingers for the next step! My hope is that the world is ready for another terrific comedy with lots of playful humor, and it will become a show that brings laughs and diversion.
If you had a choice…
…what kind of cheater would you rather have as a spouse? One who (at this point, at least) seems like a guy who fell in love, or a (creepy) guy who is addicted to hookers? The cartoon on my home page came from reading articles and blogs about this…And what about the difference between those two wives–Spitzer and Sanford?
Week-long Q and A
A unique idea, this book blog, called ijustfinished.com, contacted Michael and I to do an email Q and A with readers over the span of a week. Talking about the creative process, Cartoon Marriage, marriage, the stimulus package, swine flu, John Edward’s screw-ups, Susan Boyle…all kinds of things. Check it out.
