Oddities – Michael Patrick Dobkins

Calling all barlows, bisquits, and blushing violets!

Wanna shock the gimlets, bun dusters, and the crepe hangers? Wanna thrill your highjohn while you Charleston, black bottom, and shimmy to the whangdoodle at the egg harbor?

You’ve bobbed your hair, raised your hemline, strapped a flask to your stilt, and now it’s time to squander a little of your dapper’s hush money on a flapper ring today!

Zelda says, “Flapper rings are the kitten’s ankles, and that’s no applesauce!”

Listen to this Zelda tomato, all you dumb Doras. She’s a prom-trotter who knows her onions!

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the official web site for writer Michael Patrick Dobkins. You can read more about me on my Bio page, and you can browse my produced writing credits on IMDB.

If you’re looking for Seal Beach posts, you can find posts based on my research into the history of my hometown at the This Date in Seal Beach History blog.

If you’re a writer with a finished screenplay or book that needs work or a second pair of eyes, take a gander at the story consulting and editing services I offer.

I’m also available for professional television and film scriptwriting and development work. You can contact me directly at story@Dobkins.net

Please, serious inquiries related to writing or editorial business or polite comments or questions only. (I suppose frivolous inquiries of a personal or social nature are somewhat welcome, but they better be really silly.)

Any political, religious, or commercial solicitations, harassment and abuse, or any other type of spam will be ignored, blocked and possibly reported. If you’re really beyond the pale, I will place the Irish Curse upon you and your household, an ability passed on to me from my mother’s side of the family. Why take the chance, eh?
