The book I’m reading now, “The Unsleeping Eye”, features a category romance editor who yearns to write a “realistic” novel about ordinary people who don’t have any dramatic events happening to them. As she doesn’t do a lot of reading outside her field, she’s unaware (says the narrator) that books like that are published every day and sink like stones.
Hm, when this one was originally made, she didn’t call the characters “twits”, although I suppose GoComics may have objected to the original word. (It was close to “twits”, only there was an “a” in the middle instead of an “i”…)
