This comic appeared on January 5, 2010 in “The Flying McCoys.”
It’s 2010 yet eighteen years after a 79-year-old Stella Liebeck spilled coffee on herself in an McDonald’s parking lot in Alberquerque, NM, her infamous lawsuit still appears to be a joke. Got to say, seeing this makes me that more excited to debut Hot Coffee next year. The documentary film will reveal what really happened to Stella while exploring how and why this case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort and to what end. Working on this film as an associate producer has opened my eyes in a lot of different ways and I can’t wait to see the discussion it will provoke among audiences in 2011.
