Lost Viking Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 Lol! But how do you know that they are real? Quote
blueandwhite Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 While funny, this list has me feeling somewhat skeptical. This list is positively absurd. If there are actual authors behind these works, they are clearly hobbiests or casual writers looking for a laugh. First and foremost, both Garfield (the cat), and Curious George (the monkey) are still protected by copyright. There is no way that Jim Davis (Garfield's creator), or the Rey estate would have anything to do with "Garfield gets Feline Lukemia" or "Curious George and the Electric Fence". The fact is, these titles are too absurd to be considered 'real' rejections. Seems more like teen humor than anything. Still, its an amusing list. Did you write it yourself, or did you get it from a friend? Later. Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Did a quick google search on this. They were part of a Washington Post contest.. At least some of them. Link here. I also found some more funny stuff like this over here. Quote
Supreme Oompa Loompa Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 I'm going to take one or two of those...and make it the title of a song Thanks for the inspiration dude! Quote
