Mike Le is the creator of the webcomic Don't Forget To Validate Your Parking, which is loosely based on his experiences and observations working in Hollywood as "a screenwriter, a producer, and a wannabe lothario." It also occasionally addresses being Asian in the entertainment business.

My guess is, experiences like this are painfully closer to real life than the creator cares to admit. The goal is to hopefully build enough buzz to get it set up as an animated TV show, sort of along the lines of The Life & Times of Tim on HBO.
