Next time bring Led Zeppelin and kill two birds with one stone.

“Oh, the humanities.”

Any author who has the expression “What the hell happened here” better be writing about politics.

Not funny! My parents died on that zeppelin when they were little children.

Good representation of the pretentious duds in those photos. (Meaning the clothes).

I now know what the J in J. Crew stands for. Jerk.

NOW, follow the rest of the plan. Gain 150 lbs., grow a crappy, scraggly beard. Write three lengthy and involved books.

Sell rights to HBO and have them make a miniseries out of it. Never finish the last two books, but give the show runners a concept for ending the show.

The show wins fans and awards for the first three seasons, that follow the books. Oh, and it isn’t because of your writing, but the handsome actors and beautiful actresses that populate the series.

After they run out of book material, then the show goes off the marks and becomes horrible, but it is still your concept.

You come out, and then say that the books (which you will never finish) are very different than the miniseries ending.

Oh, and you write your books using a program called Wordstar. A writing program that wasn’t very good when it was new, and is now archaic, and considered the papyrus and mud tablet of the 1980’s.

It’s fortunate that you happened to bring that photo along. And what’s that strange thing sitting on a three legged support?

No concern for trees?

It’s that “looking for the first royalty check” stare.

Well Hemingway he isn’t.

Yes it’s time to update that author pic monty! https://www.gocomics.com/monty/2016/08/12

This seems too realistic to be a comic strip. Isn’t this how it really works in so-called Real Life?

Looking for a little inspiration, are we? Check out this up-and-comer, young gal named Amanda Gorman, and see if that doesn’t get your juices flowing.
