[Panel 1]
(Caption: A few nights later, Angus checks in with his employer, the Lethal Librarian.)
Angus: Yes, ma’am, I’m nearly finished stocking the safehouse.
[Panel 2]
Angus (on the phone): You didn’t warn me about Mrs. Elliot. She thinks I’m a cow!
She keeps insisting I leave quarts of milk on her front stoop.
[Panel 3]
(Close-up of the Lethal Librarian on the phone, looking incredulous.)

Lulu is still Number One
Here’s a little story from the Buckeye Book Fair a couple weekends back. I’m sitting there, signing copies of my
Everything Cartooning Book
book, and a guy comes up and mumbles some sort of half-hearted comment about always wanting to learn to draw cartoons and shoves a slip of paper into my hand.
It’s an advertisement for his book-publishing business.
See… all you have to do is give him a CD with your Microsoft Word document on it and he’ll print some perfect-bound books for you.
All for only $469. Plus Ohio sales tax, if applicable.
That’s right.
Four hundred and sixty-nine dollars. Plus tax.
Holy freaking moley! That’s ridiculous!
I can upload a MS Word document or a PDF to
Lulu for free and start selling beautifully-printed-and-bound books immediately. No charge at all. The most I have to shell out is a single proof copy of my book — at cost. I haven’t spent more than $15 for a proof book yet. Including sales tax.
Four hundred and sixty-nine dollars.Unbefreakinglievable.
Do you know how high you’d have to price the fifteen books he prints for that amount before you could make a profit?!
