More trouble in Springfield? Well, it’s an ill wind that blows no book deal.
|
|
|
When Halloween horrors stalk the streets, people hide under the covers.
|
|
And when they’re hiding in fear, they’ll need a good book to read.
|
|
You there, cornpone. Any idea what kids are reading these days?
|
|
Mine ain’t reading much of anything. Just holding possum tails and pretendin’ they’re smarty-phones.
|
|
|
Hayseed, you just gave me an idea.

An app that occasionally chirps.

I’ve analyzed millions of chats from thousands of children, and made an amazing discovery.
|
|
|
Girls like vampire novels. Guess I could’ve saved myself a little time and guessed that.
|
|
So now you’re going to write a wonderful vampire novel?
|
|
|
With your help. I need the little girl perspective on what’s good.
|
|
Can I help too? They say I have very feminine sensibilities.
|
|
|
Absolutely. Now, why don’t you kids write a sample first chapter, just so I get an idea what you like.
|
|
|
I’ll get to work on clothes for when I win the Man Booker Prize.

Great! Hey listen, why don’t you all write the next chapter? Just so I know the sort of plot development you kids like.
|
|
I’ve never been trusted by an adult before!

|
|
|
So kids, how’s my book coming along?
|
|
We basically wrote the whole thing. When exactly are you going to get involved?
|
|
|
Right now. I’m not so much an author, as a guy who comes up with marketing plans.
|
|
|
Let’s start with a focus group. And who better to rate this book than the kids who wrote it?

Reviews of my new book are in!

|
"Unimaginative and predictable". The Daily Fourth Gradian.
|
|
|
How could you pan the book you wrote yourselves?!
|
|
Because you put your name on it!

Ow! I think that last one may have given me brain damage!

Or a brilliant idea for a book! An author turned on by his fickle public reinvents himself for the better.

|
|
I knew it! My new book is a hit.
|
|
|
So the public loved your lacerating self-exploration?
|
|
|
No, that was a terrible idea.
|
|
|
Instead, I ripped off that book about 80's video games. I call it “Steady Player Fun”.
