Don't Forget To Validate Your Parking

Don't Forget To Validate Your Parking is a webcomic written and illustrated by American screenwriter, film producer, and comic book creator Mike Le. The webcomic was officially launched on December 11, 2007, during the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike.[1] Published roughly once a week, the webcomic is loosely based on the author's experiences working in Hollywood. Its readership grew significantly when blogger Cory Doctorow posted a link to the webcomic on Boing Boing.[2]
