Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 19, 2014

Look at me! I’m one, too!

I think someone has to pay you to be considered published. If snark on the interwebs was a paying gig, the economy wouldn’t be in the turlet right now.

That’s not how you become a published author, Pig; you do it by writing dirty poems on restroom walls.

We’re doing it!!! We’re doing it!!!! We’re all published now!!!!! Yeah!!!!!

Damned straight it counts!!

Not counting this “novel”, I’ve been published 4488 times!

’K. When and where do I pick up my Pulitzer?

Oooooooo….something to add to my resume.

Pig? Snarky? No way. Clueless, i would believe. Snarky? No, not buying it.

Pig’s idea of snarky: I disagree. [wish more people used this idea of snarky]

most of the stuff written on FB, is not worth a thought…a look on my dogs face has more meaning.

It counts…sorta like Dracula!

Behold, a Published Author this way comes! Pig deserves some kind of prize for making us all instant published authors! Hooray for Pig! (Butt out, Goat.)

OMG! My comment here makes me a published author too!

Does the novel I published in my head while commuting count?

I nominate Pig for the Noble Prize – hey he’s done as much as some who’ve received it. :)

“It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a shot rang out! A door slammed. The maid screamed. Suddenly, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon!"Hey! I’m now also a Plagiarist!

Worst comic strip ever.©

Ohh, Arrrrrrrgh, Mateys! Avast and shiver me timbers!Almost forgot till I saw a clue on a crossword that my husband hadn’t gotten yet!

That makes all of us commenters “published authors” too.Hope we don’t cramp Pig’s style!xxx

Nothing is easy, nothing good is freeBut I can tell you where to startTake a look inside your heartThere’s an answer in your heart.Fight the good fight every momentEvery minute every dayFight the good fight every momentMake it worth the price we pay- Triumph

I can get published in the local paper—does it count if only 24 people read it?

I would never, in a million years, consider posting anything on an internet site. Also, the very notion of reading any such postings makes my head spin.

We’re all famous!
