"It's a huge honour for Goodhandy's to host Chester's launch," says Todd Klinck, co-owner of Goodhandy's and an outspoken proponent of sex work. "So few clients of prostitutes are brave enough to be open and positive about the client-hooker relationships, and that's what excites me most."

Computo Still Thinks Kelley Has Been Crowdsourcing This Show Like Crazy
When David E. Kelley's draft pilot script for Wonder Woman leaked online, the early reaction was not kind, to say the least.

But since that draft, which was dated December 2010, there have been a ton of rewrites on Kelley's script.
John Rozum.com: Brooke Shields: Agent of Fury
I recently uncovered some old pitches from my early years at Marvel Comics. These were all short humor pieces (of which I did quite a number) for titles such as What If…? and What the…? Because of the nature of them I often pitched them in rough cartoon form rather than as written pitches. This one was probably for What the…? but was never used. I don't recall the reason. My initial suspicion was that there were fears of litigation from Brooke Shields, but that sort of thing was still uncommon back then. Certainly it was nothing like it is now where you can't even mention a public figure or product by name in a comic book, and new character names are often changed anyway just in case.
