That, and being offered the Creeper episode of BTAS, and then getting ghosted on it and seeing it done by others, instead. Minor situation, but not something that happened anywhere else, so it stayed with me. Our original ideas weren't seen as any good, but they end up using one without acknowledging it until it was pointed out. Also, we were hoping to get more work so of course we didn't raise a stink. As it was a friend involved, we let it slide. Especially when the apology didn't include something tangible. We weren't on staff, so our ideas weren't up for grabs as such, so that burned a little. I haven't seen it and am going on memory, but apparently Lobo shows up as a guest star cameo, the "other man" suitor at the end a Maxima story. I do know that the Lobo/Maxima bit was described to at least one producer on the show, because they apologized to us when the idea was used as a gag ending for an episode of the series. I do know from notes that we pitched this to editor Joey Cavalieri (World's Funnest, Bizarro World, Bizarro Comics etc) but it didn't get anywhere past the pitch process. Since none of our plots were ever considered - hell, they were barely even acknowledged - it's hard to remember the details this many years after the fact. BACKGROUND: I can't say for certain if we pitched this plot to the STAS producers for a potential episode, but I'm pretty sure we did.
