I’ll Be Your Huckleberry Hound

This is the way the A Pitch a Day ends
This is the way the A Pitch a Day ends
This is the way the A Pitch a Day ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Well, at least for Uncle Muffin that is. You still have to struggle through one more pitch each from the rest of the crew. As for me, since this is the last pitch for a quite a while, I thought I should go out something with offensive. My first thought was Last Juan: How The Yankees Got There Groove Back, but Steven Cohen might stumble across the pitch, be offended, buy Squarespace and you’d never be able to revisit our masterpieces again. Because, Steve Cohen sucks and is a thin-skinned, rich monster who ruined Christmas for Yankee fans…just to be clear. Fuck Juan Soto.

What about Hong Kong Fluie? A black voiced, Asian appropriating, COVID fighting cartoon dog? It’s certainly vaguely racist, but also is a little too close to things President-elect Micro Penis has actually said, so I put this one in the maybe file.

And then it hit me. We’ve seen gender swapped roles, like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels become The Hustle and Ghostbusters become er, Ghostbusters. We’ve seen race swapped roles like Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One and Samuel Jackson as Nic Fury. But, have ever had a species swapped role? A Pitch a Day is proud to present our most divisive and offensive pitch yet as Huckleberry Hound takes over the role of Doc Holliday from Val Kilmer. We’re going to go the Gus Van Sant route and say this is a shot-by-shot remake of Tombstone by way of Psycho and just put this thing to bed. If you don’t think middle America will be offended by a gay blue dog with a southern drawl, then we don’t know the Fox News demo as well as we thought.

Muffin out.
