A rare snapshot of Don Draper (then Dick Whitman) trying to woo a small-town Connecticut hotelier.
Then Lorelai was like, “But I’m kind of seeing Rory’s prep school teacher Max,” except for she was only really going out with Max because she couldn’t deal with her feelings for Luke, so Max was like, “Probably I’m going to be better of Kissing Jessica Stein because she’s super confused about being bisexual,” but really she was only confused about how she’d fallen in love with a time-traveling ad man from the ’60s.

I’ve got so much love for Dean Trippe in my heart. We used to teach Sunday School together, you guys. Sunday School.

‘Kindness’ covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.Roger Ebert, Life Itself: A Memoir

I’ve never met a gay woman who didn’t have to fight for who she is and what she has. Come out on the other side of that and you’re a hero in anybody’s book.
The most surreal thing about my job is that sometimes I get to talk to the people who created the art that helped me come to terms with my sexuality and come out to my friends and family. Terry Moore is chief among those artists. And he was also one of the major catalysts that influenced my decision to become a writer. He changed my life. And I wanted to change other people’s lives. And here I am.
Anyway, he chatted with me about the new Strangers in Paradise softcover omnibus, and this was one of the things he said. I love it, of course, because my main dream is to be a superhero.

Just another day at the office.

It took me a full day to make it through all 27 seconds of this video. I had to keep shutting my laptop and walking away because I can’t stand to be a slave to the way I feel about Naomily. Oh, Lily. I love you. I love you so much, I’m afraid Skins Fire is going to kill me.

My office is the best office.

Write what you love. Whatever that is, even if it seems like an absolutely abysmal career move. Because if it doesn’t work out, at least you wrote something you’ve always wanted. If that carefully positioned market-friendly idea you only sort of like tanks, then you’ve spent years working on something that doesn’t excite you. If something you love tanks, then at least you spent that time creating art that you know, in your heart, is worthwhile.
And it turns out that agents and editors and publicists and readers can tell when your heart is in it. So my big idea was to do myself a favor, and put it there.
