The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 19, 2009

Don’t forget the Seven Dwarfs walking off the set of Snow White in 1937 when Walt Disney’s wife complained that “no one would pay a dime to see a movie with a bunch of dwarfs!” True story…no offense intended.

Or the great Eloi walkout of 2,000,001.

How about the Smurf go-slow of 1742?

You forgot the rather hostile negotiations that an entire village of Lilliputians had with one Lemuel Gulliver, surgeon. It is noteworthy to mention that Dr. Gulliver was sexually assaulted on several occasions, as well as being the sole proprietor of a failing business, both of which made him a rather difficult person with which to reason.

Little people might find this cartoon small minded and a low blow against their diminutive size. It appears these historical references are all tall tales and low brow humor.

MrSpock, your story echos another true story of another famous wife although in reverse, Stephen King’s wife, Tabitha King fished Carrie’s manuscript out of the waste basket after he was discouraged with it & had thrown it out.

@Nozzi I can’t tell the difference between a King novel and trash either.

Maybe another stampede in India?

@D-i-c-e-R, the kind of trash that has made him a best selling writer, rich & famous.
