“Not making me want to read your story more”9 o'clock, September 10, 2003From the file of approaches to be avoided by aspiring writers; BUCKY THE CAT: I’d like you to read my screenplay. It would be the first screenplay written by cats for cats. FRANCIS: But see, as cats have zero buying power, you aren’t a demographic anyone cares about. BUCKY THE CAT: Normally when somebody says something like that to me, I whiz on their shoes. FRANCIS: Not making me want to read your story more. (From today’s Get Fuzzy.) |

Very nice. Get the feeling Conley might be an aspiring writer? |

Aspiring cartoonists face pretty much the same thing, in the same ways, as aspiring writers. |

I don't know if any of you guys saw/remember the comic that was in ...is this a cat? by the amazing and wonderful Justin Colussy-Estes. He was absolutely flabbergasted that people read the zine who didn't have anything in it, and that people reacted to the comic and it got _reviewed_ places. He said the small press in comics is much more competition driven and generally only the competitors read each others' zines and even then they are usually trading, not buying. And it's almost impossible to get things reviewed. I thought that was very interesting at the time. Let's all have an SF is warm and fuzzy moment. But no group hugs! |
