Comedy of Errors

Life isn’t always fair. Get over it!

“Comedy of Errors” is the story of Stewart Little, a boy who grows up with some handicaps that might have led him to failure as an adult, but which actually propel him to a successful career as an innovative and renowned cartoonist and graphic novelist.

Stewart began life without any obvious physical or mental flaws, but was given a name at birth that was similar to that of a mouse-like fictional child created by the essayist E.B White for a book written in 1946, the year before Stewart’s birth.

It was not until Stewart reached middle school in the early 1960’s that he was ridiculed by a classmate familiar with the children’s story who nicknamed him, “Mouse,” at precisely the same time that an undiagnosed learning disorder kicked in, which led to Stewart to failures in school and contributed to a decline in his grades and his self-esteem.

The story takes the reader on Stewart’s pathway through a childhood of poverty and aimlessness, through his teenage years, as he stumbles awkwardly with little assistance from teachers or his parents to expand his goals. With little to guide him, Stewart approaches adulthood at which time he forges a successful career as a cartoonist and an innovative writer and illustrator of graphic novels.

Despite, or because of, his mistakes and mishaps, Stewart adapts quickly to his circumstances and develops relationships that enrich his life as he uses every advantage presented to him along his journey.

“Comedy of Errors” is about persistence, passion and survival, and the ways humans can change the course of their lives by making positive use of their failings as well as of their assets, their loves lost as well as those that blossom, and goals dashed as well as those achieved, to attain fortunes that are often far richer than those achieved by individuals blessed by perfect genetics, wealth, and opportunities.
