Quarter 2 post 4

Joe Kavalier has arrived in New York, and is staying with Samuel Klayman. Soon after his arrival, Sam sees some drawings Joe has done and thinks they're impressive. Sam gets an idea. He takes Joe to his boss, Sheldon Anapol, to offer him a business proposition. While Sam propagates, Joe quickly tries to complete a portfolio, considering he left his real one in Prague. Sam is a great talker, so Shelly (that's Sam's nickname for his boss) decides to call down the publisher. The publisher, Sheldon's brother-in-law, comes down and, upon seeing Joe's impromptu portfolio, gives the two a week to come up with a character and a storyline, compiled into a rough comic book. Sam and Joe are elated, and they immediately get to thinking up ideas. They also decide to take aliases, that of Kavalier and Clay. Sam realizes that they need more people to help fill out the comic book. He takes Joe on a little walk, and after a few blocks, they run into a friend of Sam's, Julius. Julius, or Jules, also has an older brother who enjoys drawing as well. Jules, after a little persuasion and an offer to get a cut of the pay, agrees to help Sam out with his comic book. He also tells Sam that he will get his brother in on the production. I personally think it is so cool that they are creating comic books. I would love to have "comic book creator" as my profession.
