To be fair, the amount of inappropriate books that actually ARRIVE in the mail is far lower now than when I originally drew this cartoon. However, the e-mail solicitations continue and range from things like "if you rewrite your blog post with links to our site and become a shameless marketing shill, we'll pay you BIG BUX" to "would you like to review our book about swingers?" So, I thought I'd run this one again.
The other reason for the re-run is that, guys, I am TIRED this week. So I made a bit of an executive decision that it's a Toon Thursday spring break, as a little early birthday present to myself. Not that I don't love drawing the toons, but I also love reducing my workload and, thereby, reducing my stress, at least temporarily. In the meantime, go check out this intriguing new site called 20SomethingReads ("A time to re-discover reading for pleasure"--great tagline, eh?), give a virtual visit to the upcoming LA Times Festival of Books (which I would dearly love to attend someday), and read this interview with Friends With Boys author Faith Erin Hicks, all shamelessly pulled from the Graphic Novel Reporter newsletter. Enjoy!

And the pitcher replies, "But it's a YOUNG ADULT ferret, so it's a perfect fit!"
AAAARRGGGHHHHHHH!!!

Hah!
Like Tales from the Slush Pile (Scroll all the way to the bottom) - the wrong same wrong thing - but with variations! - gets presented over and over and over...
HA! I love it.
I so relate to this. I used to review manuscripts for a publisher. You can always tell when a writer didn't do his or her homework.
