When Carter and Lee meet while stranded at an airport, they hit it off immediately. The problem is, he's a cartoonist who lives in Cleveland, and she's an aspiring model who lives in Chicago. Can they manage to have a relationship, separated by three hundred miles, a time zone, and the entire state of Indiana? "Long Distance" is the pilot script for a never-produced romantic-comedy sitcom. Check out what could have been!

About the Author
By day, Thom Zahler is a cartoonist and graphic artist. By night, he is also a cartoonist and graphic artist. But that’s because he’s a workaholic. Besides, he gets bored easily, sometimes even talking about himself in the third person just to amuse himself. He is a graduate of the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. He has drawn silly things and been paid by Marvel Comics, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and Prilosec. He is also the writer and artist of the Cleveland Indians’ "Slider" comic strip. He has written two graphic novels, "Raider: From the Shadows" and the sequel, "Raider: A Cold Day in Heaven." The third book, "Raider: Dead Men’s Tales" is in progress now. He always likes it when people mention that the Raider series is available through Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.He lives at his palatial estate, Zahlerdu, in Northeast Ohio. Okay, he doesn’t really call it "Zahlerdu" but if he did, it’d be because he liked Orson Wells’ "Citizen Kane" and not that Olivia Newton John disco-and-roller skating movie. It’s not really a palatial estate, either, but it is a nice place. Zahler tries to make it a point to have at least one life-altering, horribly-scarring relationship every three years or so. There should be another window opening up next Tuesday.

This review is from: Long Distance (Paperback)
I suppose it's appropriate that I read this in an airport, since the main characters meet in an airport, then fall into a long distance relationship. This is actually a script for the pilot of a sitcom, and has snappy dialogue worthy of Aaron Sorkin. The characters are interesting, the dialogue is, well, snappy as well as funny, and the situation -- a long distance romance between Cleveland and Chicago -- allows Zahler's wit to shine as the two not-quite-lovers, dodging "help" from their friends and their family, go through the ups and downs of meeting, maybe, their true love.
