Watching the episode... ironic thoughts started to plague my mind.
"The manuscript's not lost! If he would just draw it out, it would be a greater masterpiece!"
Because it warped into this...
"The novel's are done! If they would just animate the rest of it, it would be a masterpiece as well!"
I speak of course... the FMP!-series. They have the author on dial-direct, they have abundant novel material to animate, but... the wait continues. I wonder if there was any lampshading in the episode. The episode became so much more depressing when I realised the parallel...
Mibble...
