    It has been well over 2 months since I made my first plea to legendary cartoonist, Berkeley Breathed. I have chosen Mr. Breathed as the first celebrity to court via the media for personal gain. The idea is I will make references to him in my work, write about my admiration of his talent and strive to receive the ultimate prize; a personalized drawing of Opus the Penguin or better yet, one of the original strips.

    I will use his acceptance of my work as a sign that I am indeed clicking on the same ultra-hip levels as he does. I will know that Ive made it as a writer and I can start targeting increasingly more famous people for even cooler swag. Im thinking that once Ive gained a fan in Berkeley Breathed, Ill have the courage and the credibility to go for a Joe Walsh (a step up), a Bruce Campbell (a lateral move), or a George Carlin (aiming too high?).



    Bruce, You May Be NEXT!


    Bruce, You May Be NEXT!Of course, The Cheers is still a new venture. I dont believe weve quite hit our stride yet. Im not even sure how many people are aware of our little chunk of the internet and I envision a day when The Cheers is as much of a go-to site as The Onion when it comes to finding fun and hip content. I do know that our audience, and specifically my audience is indeed growing. Ive received many fine comments and e-mails about my work from all over the world. As cool and exciting as that is, I must address something to my readers right now.

    The vast majority of the e-mails Ive received have one thing in common; they wonder if I ever heard from Berkeley Breathed. Ive received many inquiries about the status of my little acceptance quest, but no one has told me anything about what theyve done to aid my cause. Heres how this thing works.
