LOVE the Cartoon, especially the copyright tag as I am Hugh too.

Posted by: Ab at July 13, 2006 1:05 AMPlease don't publish crap like this and cheapen the profession of writing, which some of us actual novelists actually perform.

Too late! Heh.
Posted by: hugh macleod at July 13, 2006 10:50 AMPlease don't publish witty or ironic material again, as real novelists like myself have nothing to do with such crap. Next time, stifle any creative expression you may have to protect the sacred circle of "real writers."

Please don't take your job so seriously. Every so often people should be able to laugh at the good and the bad of their profession no matter what you do.
