A teensy suggestion...
I know the idea is to take one of these titles and just sorta see where it takes you, Scott... but I'd really like to see a nonfiction-based "Improv" at some point...

Hmm ... a "non-fiction improv" A kind of story which is a real life story where he would have to do a bunch of research and such ... I doubt that the screenplay for Pearl Harbor was written in an hour as an improv. That sounds like tricky business there. It would not be very improv since the events have already written the story and if McCloud was not accerate he might fall into heavy criticizm. The only way I could see this being done is if it was an auto-biographic short story ... which still would not quite flex his creative writting mussles. Perhaps a better suggest is to have an improv story that is more realistic than monkeys, shapes, superheroes, or otherworld typestories.

Further Thoughts
Do the rules of the Improv mean that NO research whatsoever must be done for said story? When I look up a few facts on Google and cobble something out of them, it still feels pretty "improvisational" to me.
But it's not like I invented the format...
