  • ABC & Canada’s Shaw To Develop Comedy Project From Bob Martin & Noreen Halpern

The untitled project, a co-production between ABC and Shaw, is about a cartoonist who struggles to reconcile the idealized married life depicted in his comic strip with his own life — one that is populated by ex-spouses, children from three different marriages, and a wife who earns far more money than he does. Martin will write the script and executive produce with Halpern. Read more.
