Glad to see the end of 1931.

Fingers crossed for a much better 1932.

So you better be good, for goodness sake! 🎶"

Mr Jumbo used to yam with all the food-jazz greats.
Nat King Coleslaw, Wynton Marsalad, Benny Goodmango, Chickpea Corea, Butterpat Metheny, you name it.

If only he hadn't got hooked on "the Devil's lettuce".

The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation were *going* to come save me - but it turns out their backs were against the wall too.

FIRST against the wall, as a matter of fact.

A glowing review from the UK was exciting but my favourite comment was from a lady who said the mental health tips had genuinely helped her through a rough patch and that her daughter pleaded every bedtime to see the cat illustrations.
It was exactly why we made the book, so extremely satisfying.
What's been your favorite comment you've ever received on your book/wip? Was it a gushingly positive review? Critical feedback that helped you improve your work? #WritingPrompt

Excellent job, fellas - you really nailed the dance moves and the lip synching.

It's just that Miner, Rancher, and Gabby Hayes Impersonator aren't archetypes we're *currently* looking to add to "The Village People" lineup.

Thanks again, though, and we'll keep your resumes on file.

That isn't how I'd spell "maw".
Might be how I'd spell "relief".

Oh great, I'm never getting saved by Steven Toast, Ray bloody Purchase, or Jane Plough.

A small child carrying a hobo bindle was thrown at high velocity over the gates of Disneyland earlier this morning, surviving only due to having landed in the filthy water of the 20,000 Leagues ride.
Witnesses describe the child's assailant as "an ordinary shirtless dude in a small hat & trenchcoat"
