* MagnificentBastard: Creator/NeilGaiman, the King of Fantasy Books, is a ConMan who regularly heists his way to the top. Overhearing the main crew coming up with their book idea, Gaiman decides to steal it for himself and integrates himself into the group. Pretending to be a fool, Gaiman secretly strikes a deal with Moe the bartender. When the publishing company changes their book to be about vampires, Gaiman plays on their pride of authorship, costing them their millions, and convinces them to swap the company's flash drive with one holding their original book. While [[Characters/TheSimpsonsLisaSimpson Lisa]] is successful in swapping the flash drives, it is revealed that Gaiman had replaced theirs with one that gave him the credit, before escaping to Shelbyville and double-crossing Moe by poisoning him. Hammy, snarky, and smarter than he at first appears, Neil Gaiman is able to heist his way onto the bestseller list once again, despite not even being able to read.

* AccidentalAesop: Writing is a job like any other that deserves respect. Even if the end result is bad, the author has filled hundreds of pages- which ''sounds'' easy until you actually try it- and should be paid for their work.
* AlternateAesopInterpretation: It could be argued that Homer and co., not Lisa, were the ones DoingItForTheArt.
