Synopsis

Inspired by one of the most popular features on ModernHumorist.com, the "wickedly funny" (Wall Street Journal) website, Rough Draft is a laugh-on-every-page satire of popular culture - the way it almost was. The book contains hundreds of visual jokes showing us how familiar documents - movies, television, shows, albums, books and more - were "originally" envisioned. That Woodstock was initially proposed as "Three Days of Peace, Love and Monster Trucks"? That Dr. Seuss experimented with numerous titles before settling on The Cat in the Hat, including The Manatee Who Uses Profanity and The Horse Going Through a Painful Divorce? Or that John Gray's bestseller was originally titles Men are From Mars, Women Won't Shut Up? Illustrated with album covers, book jackets, scripts, photographs, everyday objects and other artifacts, Rough Draft is a visually stunning, hilariously funny parody of pop culture from the writers whom Time magazine calls "wildly inventive".
