Original treatment script, followed by plot, character, and setting concepts for an unproduced animated television series. The 22 page gathering begins with a six treatment script, dated 12/31/97, for an episode entitled "The Job," followed by "B-Story," "C-Runner," "(Setup)," "Characters," "Things That Piss Whitey Off," "Plot Ideas," and "Story Ideas." Angry, and maybe a bit racist, Whitey is out of work and frustrated that he can't support his wife and three kids, and is now a minority in his own neighborhood. A darkly satirical and exaggerated 1990's variant of "All in the Family," noted on the bottom of the "(Setup)" page is "(Think 'Falling Down')."
