My phone frantically rings. This is unusual, as the phone usually rings with a sense of staid complacency. Yet, hark. “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” seems more commandingly urgent than ever.
“Curt, it’s Chris. Listen to me,” he says in a breathless rasp. “This week’s comic. The Tuesday one.”
“Yes. Yes, Chris, go on,” I say, fascinated.
“We can’t do it until Wednesday. I am still traveling back from Florida and will be mega late.”
The words barely exit the device and I black out for a moment, coming to only to see the Bentley brand cell phone shattered against the wood panel floor.
“No.” My voice, a whisper.
I cry like Elliot at the end of E.T.
Good job, Chris. You gave me E.T. emotions.
But, hey, since the strip is going to be late I’m going to do a special blog post tomorrow that will hopefully be alright even though 90% of the comments I’ve read about our comic are like “Yeah, the art is great but the writing is Orwellian, not in terms of quality comparable to George Orwell, but Orwellian in that it makes me want to destroy a society in which free speech is available, lol.”
lol, indeed. You jerks.

I think the writing is brilliant, reminds me of Faulkner. You must have an inherited talent.

I find the writing to be similar to the best writing I have ever read, in that it is composed of letters, punctuation and spaces.
