THE COPYCAT

(Artwork by Peter Kavelin)

Remember that dorky kid in school who used to wear the same clothes as you, liked the same music as you, and basically tried to glom on to your life as some kind of Bizarro twin? Now imagine that he moves into the house across the street from you ten years later. Newly married DAN JEFFERSON has to explain to his wife LENA that their new neighbor STAN isn't his long lost twin, he's just been perfecting Dan's look, speech patterns and style of dress for... god knows how long. When Stan lands a job in Dan's office and gets engaged to a Lena lookalike named GEENA, Dan decides to turn the tables and start imitating everything Stan does... creating a "double-mirror" effect that, unfortunately for Dan (and EVERYONE in Dan's life), seems to be exactly what Stan has been hoping for.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of insanity."
