I don’t know how that strip has maintained integrity with Wilbur after he threw himself overboard from a cruise ship at night and didn’t die. That just doesn’t happen.
And if it did, that kind of thing should radically change a person.
Since when is Dinkle’s book unpopular? Weren’t people lining up to buy it a week ago?
Why is it surprising that few books were sold at a makeshift location in the middle of nowhere?
Why is Lillian offering sales advice? Wasn’t she the one who was grousing about “creating a monster” (when she didn’t) last week while Dinkle was having his spectacle at the other book thing?
Panel one: “I may have broken your daily sales record, but I feel like I could have sold more.”
Panels two and three: Lillian says what she says, only with a rueful scowl, to show contempt for Harry’s incessant pursuit for greater achievement and to show disdain for what it takes to have commercial success for a work of literature.
We can’t be too hard on the guy, it was very important to get that insult written out.
And look, it’s now become the featured comment of the day. A personal attack that’s not connected to anything is the first thing that people see today. Let’s have that sit there and let people ponder why this strip gets the reception it typically receives now.
