First of the month has me scrambling to get my goals in order, and I’ve already told you about the spiffy calendar I keep over my writing spot. But I kinda left you hanging about a few of the other writing snips and tips I keep over the old desk.
So here’s one of the comic strips staring me in the face (if I raise my eyes a few inches and squint):
Hahahahaha! Stephan Pastis is genius, isn’t he? Such insight! So pithy! And really, when it comes to writing humor, you can’t go wrong with a pig. (I think I’ll coin that phrase and add it on an index card over my desk.)
Tres cute, Cathy.Love the phrase "you can't go wrong with a pig."Congrats on your HMs in the Whispering Prairie contest. My name wasn't among the winners, dang it.DonnaP.S. My secret word to post a comment is patio. Usually they're strange ones I've never heard of.
Hi Cathy,Ahh, my favorite cartoon. Pig figurines have overtaken my house; so they've now been banished ot the basement. Thanks for your humorus and helpful blog.
You have to go a long way to beat pigs for humor. (Although monkeys ALWAYS crack me up.)(Donna, either way, we're both out the entry fee bucks. :-)(And Linda, you're very welcome. As for us both enjoying Pearls Before Swine…like calls to like, my momma always said. π
Ha ha ha – that was funny! And, although I like your phrase "You can't go wrong with a pig" I have to say I prefer "You can't go wrong with chocolate!" π
I used to know a young lady who collected pigs, and I always wondered how she felt when people would tell her, "Every time I see a pig I think of you." Ha.Every time I think of you I think of Yoda…not sure if you consider that a step up from the piggy or not. Guess it's the symbolism that counts! π
Madeline, you make a fine point about chocolate!And Lisa, Hahaha! I'm sure glad I don't collect donkeys. Um, wait. Yoda looks like…you know, I'm okay with a donkey. π
I love that — it made me laugh like you always do!
It's so good to know that y'all share my twisted humor (and Stephan's too, of course!)
Love it!
