Falafelosophy is the first half of the 4th episode of Season 14. It first aired on October 25, 2010 with The Great Lint Rush. Neil Gaiman guest stars.

Summary
Sue Ellen goes to Neil Gaiman's book signing, and he encourages her to write her own graphic novel. Sue Ellen likes her story about circles and triangles, but her friends think it's weird. Neil Gaiman encourages her once again to keep writing.

Plot
Sue Ellen goes to get a falafel from a food stand and and the man who works there talks about how some people are round like falafel sandwiches and some are pointy like pizza slices.

This inspires Sue Ellen with a plot for her graphic novel: a war between circles and triangles. Circles were happy, bouncy and whole, while triangles liked arguing and having a point. How can they get along?

When she gets writer's block, her "inner Neil Gaiman" shows up and gives her inspiration to keep going. At first, her friends don't get it, but inner-Neil tells her that she should not write for other people, but for herself, and that her friends would come around in time.

After much writing and imagination, she is left with a great graphic novel that her friends enjoy.

Trivia

 * Arthur is absent in this episode.
 * In Sue Ellen's story, she started a chapter by saying "On a night with no moon...", then later in the chapter, she said "The moon reminded him that much in the world is circular...", though she just wrote that there was no moon.
