Godzilla, Local Publisher in Royalty Spat
Wellington Leg: An accounting scandal at Yur Soveign Publishers threatens the future of Wellington Leg, this blog, and the free enterprise system. Regular readers will recall that Godzilla was invited to the Literary Faire where his memoir TOKYO IS TOAST struck a chord with a panel of jurors, judges, and a Greek Chorus.
Godzilla is Coming! Unable to satisfy his contractual dispute by peaceful means, Godzilla is returning to Wellington Leg. “He intends to eat the blog ONE MORE BITE OF THE APPLE,” a spokesperson reported. “If he has to, he’ll destroy Wellington Leg and the surrounding suburbs.”
Big G, Little O: At issue is the prehistoric monster’s earning stream. “Perhaps naively Godzilla signed with a vanity publisher. TOKYO IS TOAST was shopped thoroughly before YUR SOVEIGN inked a deal most favorable to themselves.”
Feelings Are Hurt: Godzilla never signed his publishing contract. The document was incinerated when no one privy to the negotiations could find a Tic-Tac. “Godzilla exhaled and the contract burst into flame.”
Handlers say that Godzilla uses several signatures including Big G, Daddy G, Prehistoric G or just G. His publishing squabble pales in comparison with the subprime loan Daddy G acquired from the Piggy Bank last May. According to sources Godzilla ate the Piggy Bank’s blog FINE PRINT in what observers describe as a “fit of pique.”
Godzilla is scheduled for a Christmas Eve signing at Eddie’s Book Nook, Wellington Leg’s premier indy bookstore. Geraldo reporting for Weekend in the Leg.
