Story of The Funny Pages

After many years of being in the business, I wanted to make a film that captured the essence of the humorist and their journey. To do so I positioned myself as a person trying to get into print publishing by creating what he thought would be his first publication. I made my movie about my life and it became a commercial success and is still featured on Amazon Prime’s streaming service right now.

My main character, Billy Myers, struggles with his pursuit to create great comedy through his comic sheets while juggling other work commitments. To do this I had to make a lot of sacrifices, such as working at two papers and doing other freelance odd jobs. The story depicts the evolution over time of how Billy views his work and how he trudges along in the pursuit of his goals.

“Funny Pages” is a series of autobiographies by America’s teen-aged geniuses, written by their mothers and fathers. It doesn’t preach or teach, it just tells. It’s like a very toned-down How to Win Friends and Influence People. There are three stories in “Funny Pages,” all about kids with unconventional interests: a girl who likes to collect teddy bears, a boy who likes to draw pictures of bugs, and one that is obsessed with making stuffed animals talk.

These three characters have uncanny similarities. Both the girl and the bug boy are odd, yet they can draw a crowd. Both have mothers who worry about their “deviance”–or, in the case of bug boy, his mother is stumped by his potential as a fashion designer. Yet both love their children unconditionally. They also care about their kids’ futures, with each investing in her child’s talents to help them succeed in life despite their parent’s fears for them.
