    After yesterday's dig into my attempt to have a career doing kid's comics, here's a slightly older pitch. I got a bit of a runaround on this one (and some other stuff for the publisher) before being ghosted/giving up.

    In 1986, Mattel advertised a contest with the grand prize being a role in Cannon's Masters of the Universe movie. This wasn't just a background role -- the little boy who won was covered in makeup and prosthetics and became Skeletor's pint-size servant, "Pigboy."

    Oh My God. Someone's created a parody version of "Netflix" that only streams fake movies and TV series that were invented for _actual_ movies and TV series. And it solicits new entries from users. This has my IMMEDIATE AND ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT
