"Heres the book synopsis:
Is it possible to find humor corrosive, taboo-shattering, laugh-till-you-cry humor in the story of a 38-year-old- cartoonist whos both a quadriplegic and a recovering alcoholic? The answer is yes, if the cartoonist is John Callahan whose infamous work has graced the pages of Omni, Penthouse, and The New Yorker and if hes telling it in his own words and pictures. But Callahans uncensored account of his troubled and sometimes impossible life is also genuinely inspiring. Without self-pity or self-righteousness, this liberating book tells us how a quadriplegic with a healthy libido has sex, what its like to live in the exitless maze of the welfare system, where a cartoonist finds his comedy, and how a man with no reason to believe in anything discovers his own brand of faith."
The script has yet to be written.

Sounds like it would be a brilliant role for JP. Fingers crossed it happens.
Teaming up again since "To Die For" - intriguing prospect.
