Chuck Lorre – whose trio of hits includes “Two and a Half Men,” “The Big Bang Theory” and “Mike & Molly” – isn’t just a towering comedy mogul.

He’s also one of the most widely distributed writers in the world. His tart, often darkly funny dispatches reach a weekly audience of more than 30 million.

Granted, the number of people who actually read these tiny treatises is another question. Each of Lorre’s posts appears on-screen for a single fleeting second at the end of his shows, in the form of so-called “vanity cards” – a graphic ID for the show’s production company.
