Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 29, 2023

Maybe if Calvin was paid by the word, we could get more out of him.

Fiction does not make a memoir, Calvin.

Just don’t write about the Noodle Incident.

The Creators Syndicate does not.

Calvin would be a major buzz-kill on talk shows by refusing to talk. Some authors go on talk shows to promote their books.

some writer in the oven…. (sight).

Publishers usually don’t care for manuscripts that break the third wall and tell readers to “butt out”!

Calvin why do I feel your memoirs are one of the most riveting ones, thanks to Mr Watterson.

Nowadays, Calvin would be used to using a computer keyboard rather than a pen.

“Tell all” books generally sell better than the “tell nothing” ones.

Typing didn’t help Snoopy any, Calvin; so I wouldn’t sweat it!

Love Hobbes answer.

Hobbes suggests Cal’s page wouldn’t be worth a page of typing paper.

Don’t use all caps, Calvin.

Hobbes is trying to be diplomatic…but at same time, critical.

How many six-year-olds can actually spell memoir?

l used to collect rejection notices until it got to be an embarrassing stack. I did better writing and producing my own radio plays, but not much. :)

On one side we have celebrities who want to dictate what parts of their lives are open to public scrutiny; on the other we have fans who think that they have ownership over the lives of their favorite celebrities and “deserve” to know everything about them.

Funny how my memory skips / Looking over manuscripts / Of unpublished rhyme / Drinking my vodka and lime

Paul Simon… he knew what happens to so many manuscripts.

Somehow I don’t picture Calvin doing a book signing anytime soon

It depends on what type.

Printed on notebook paper, wide ruled preferred, and double spaced.

Saying “None of it’s your business”, is really saying that he doesn’t want to admit to anything that could be used against him in court.

First, Calvin says his life was one big bore from the start. Now he says it’s a fascinating series of amazing exploits! And neither of them are exactly true…

I’d read that book.

Just make up something The truth would be too unbelievable.

The best autobiography ever.
