What do writers want? Justic! When do they want it? Nowe!
You wouldn’t normally associate a labor strike with writers. Striking usually means not working, which is what most writers do anyway. But many people would be surprised at the conditions writers are often forced to labor under. And it isn’t a new problem.
 During the “Golden Age” of TV, many writers came home at night with a hacking cough and blackened hands. On the upside, their forearms were massive. |
 By the 1980’s, it was not uncommon for hit television shows to simply disappear “without a trace,” which coincidentally, is now the title of a hit television show. |
 Today there are so many aspiring scribes in Hollywood that producers enjoy the luxury of hiring writers to produce only one joke each. |
Hopefully the strike will soon end, and one day you will no longer have to be witness to images like these, because I’ll be too busy to make them.
