Because I love things that support literacy and because the episode they wanted to put me into was about getting kids to make their own graphic novels.

Hi Mr Gaiman,
Now that your appearance in Arthur came up, I googled it and even though I knew about the falafel joke, I didn't realise you had a longer appearance and that you were the author in Arthur who encouraged Sue Ellen to write.
So I just wanted to thank you for that. I've lost a significant amount of my passion for writing since then but as a kid? That episode was super inspiring and kept my motivation going for a cery long time
I’m so glad. I loved being in it, and was happy they let me get involved (and rewrite all my dialogue so it sounded more like me). For the curious, from YouTube…
here’s some context. this is the episode of Arthur in which Neil Gaiman appears in falafel. you’re welcome.
For the curious.
