Screenwriters and the comics test: two classes, two printed negatives

items 7 and 9 — writing credits under New Carlisle ties

The floor's screenwriters were born in South Bend, and its strip was written from a South Bend paper route: both patterns are the county seat's. Tested as classes for this town — screenwriting credits in the Writers Guild and AFI records, and syndicated-strip authorship in the newspaper and syndicate records, each searched under New Carlisle birth ties — both return empty at the strength stated. The town's one film, Prancer (1989), was an outside production that borrowed two of its buildings; its makers were not this town's, and no writing credit on it or any other production attaches to a New Carlisle name in the records reached. The comics test returns the same shape: the word comics occurs nowhere in the banked set because there is nothing for it to attach to — no strip, cartoonist, or paper-route credit stands for this town in the syndicate record reached. Both negatives print whole, as findings, at the size of the searches run.
