John Layman, co-creator of Image comic book Chew, has been tweeting. That always gets interesting. And this time it concerns the much-publicised option that Showtime took on this comic about a cop who gets psychic flashes when he tastes something. Which generally means he ends up licking corpses a lot.

Layman tweets;

I think it's going to take nothing short of an act of God to get these mother fuckers at Showtime to pay us the CHEW option money. — Layman (@themightylayman) May 8, 2013

Yeah, we have a contract. Yeah, they owe us. But it's been YEARS at this point. Pretty fucking pissed off about it. — Layman (@themightylayman) May 8, 2013

Other people in the development process got paid by Showtime. Just not the creators. Priorities, I suppose. — Layman (@themightylayman) May 8, 2013
