Jeff
I’m writing my next assignment and I’d be done by now if it weren’t for my editor. She took the first version I handed to her, folded it twice to form more or less a square, tore it in two, then she handed it back. That was Monday. Monday night I began the second iteration of the same story and instead of tearing it to shreds, she said, “What’s wrong with sounding authentic?”
Now I’ve got to write the third version of this story and send it off by Wednesday night, whether it gets the in house seal of approval or not
One of my all time favorites.

Boy, Zippy by any other name would non sequitur as sweetly! Add near-Crumb-worthy penwork, the whiff of a senior moment for empathy, and we've found the way to your inner pinhead....
Posted by I knew it.Oh no you don't. Mutt and Jeff are not Zippy progenitors and the sequitor here is most perfectly in line. Tis a Zen, not senior, moment.
