Here’s the truth from a professional writer. Most people who find out you are a writer will ask for a free book like they are doing you a huge favor and expect you to present it on your knees like they are royalty who deign to accept it. Most creators are treated with such incredible arrogance and contempt.
OMG so this reminded me of Fanny Brice in the sketch “The Sweepstakes Ticket” from the movie “Ziegfeld Follies” where her husband tells her that he gave away their winning ticket (before he knew it had won) and suggests they just ask the man for the ticket and he’ll probably give it back.
Aaaaand the reason I explained all of this is that I remembered Fanny’s reply to this speculation:
“Poison he’ll give us!”
And that’s probably all that Lucy would get from Snoopy after her snide remarks today.

That is so true. “Free” author copies aren’t free anymore. Go buy your own dang copy.

Don’t typewriters weigh a lot? Probably enough to cause a concussion.

I’m surprised Snoopy never wrote, “It was a dark and stormy night when John Lennon….”

I’m guessing she’d be the type to want some art and pay the artist with “exposure”

Lucy, always a critic. Seldom a contributor.

Looks like Lucy’s going to have to enter concussion protocol…

A gag that was reused in the Peanuts movie.

Lucy’s lucky that Snoopy didn’t hit her with a waffle iron.

Not often someone has the last word with Lucy. She had it coming to her.

Everyone thinks that can be a critic.

Lucy needs to to learn that unlike his owner, Snoopy is not to be mess with.

Uh huh. Their so stupid you want to read them as long as you can do so for free.

She did end up doing the cover art when his first novel was published. Probably got at least one free copy for that.
