Falafelosophy

Falafelosophy (Falafel+Philosphy) is one of the newer episodes featuring Neil Gaiman. Sue Ellen goes to meet one of her favorite authors, Neil Gaiman, and he signs and gives her a copy of one of his graphic novels. Sue Ellen is then inspired to write her own graphic novel.

She goes to get a falafel from a food stand and and the man who works there makes a comment 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 about the war between circles and triangles. Circles were happy, bouncy and whole, and 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.
