Fanfiction is driven by people writing for their own enjoyment. But rather than simply keep it on their own computer (where 98% of it belongs) they post it on the web and hope for nice comments. He’s clearly writing for his own enjoyment (since no publisher will be interested), but if he’s describing killing the people who ticked him off in novel ways there will be people who read it and post nice comments ’cause they love snuff fiction.
This isn’t related to today’s comic, but I’ve always wondered about the image on Wiley’s page here – the guy surprised by his shadow. What’s the back story?
This is not the comic that appeared in my newspaper today (as you can see it’s from 2013). I think the actual one might be too controversial for gocomics. Anyone else have the same experience?
This isn’t the Wiley cartoon that appeared in the June 15, 2023, comics section of the LA Times. What did appear had the caption “On second thought…” What gives?

I might read SOME of that… if he wrote it so cleverly that it was funny. But that sort of thing works best if it’s one… short… chapter at a time.

Sounds like Wiley’s version of Sheldon Cooper’s List of Mortal Enemies.

Sounds like you could have a full-time job writing speeches for our previous president. Don’t expect to get paid much, tho. Or on time. Or at all.

I thought the wife would be chapter one unless it was the mother-in-law.

Dude! That’s on you. She should be all of chaper one and half of chapter two.

Nobody has any business writing their memoirs before the age of 70.

If his dishing book is a tell-all book about a celebrity, then just about everyone will want to read it. But, only about himself: maybe not.

Who’d want to read that? Apparently all those who read “Spare”.

Poor Wiley. Keep it up, and make sure to have someone make a note on your tombstone for good measure.
