Whenever my good friend Scott Nimerfro and I get together for dinner we either A) grouse about how crazy/unfair/ass-backwards the TV business is, or B) pitch series ideas to one another and fawn over each other's brilliance. The former occurs when one or both of us are between jobs and the latter when we're employed and, for the moment, content. Scott had this one great series idea that I won't present here but it takes place in the model for Suburbia, USA -- Burbank California in the late fifties. Revolving around the lives of aerospace designers and their homemaker wives, you throw in the local top secret flight design lab, Russian spies and you have a based-on-a-true-scenario series idea. Laughs and drama, romance and culture clash against Cold War nostalgia.
I thought, "What if it was a cartoon series?" Hence the sketches...
