When Charles Schulz said Bill couldn't do both <i>Peanuts</i> AND <i>Garfield</i> (after Bill did the first <i>Garfield</i> special), Phil went off with the property and founded Film Roman to do it.<br /><br />Time passed. Film Roman grew ... and grew some more. And then Phil was doing lots of other projects, including <i>The Simpsons</i>, and took his successful company public.<br /><br />He made, I'm informed, a goodly amount of money on the IPO, except now he had a board of directors, and after awhile the board grew dissatisfied and fired the founder.<br /><br />After a bit of a while, Phil founded "Phil Roman Productions" which did a few projects before folding its tent.<br /><br />So now you know more details of "The Phil Roman effect."Steve Huletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537689111433326847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-14524787789288853052013-08-29T18:35:12.783-07:002013-08-29T18:35:12.783-07:00It's a shame you get kicked off while you'...It's a shame you get kicked off while you're ahead.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-89186192372502085252013-08-29T13:09:17.288-07:002013-08-29T13:09:17.288-07:00So that's what happened to Phil Roman!So that's what happened to Phil Roman!Alex Dudleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153348263827559073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-27215201362659996542013-08-29T07:54:21.346-07:002013-08-29T07:54:21.346-07:00Hmmm, the Phil Roman Effect, I learned something n...Hmmm, the Phil Roman Effect, I learned something new today, thanks Steve!Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.com
