Wasn’t this how J. K. Rowling got her start? I suspect that the woman at the next table, looking over J. K.’s shoulder, may have been Stephenie Meyer. And one table down from her was E. L. James.
This is reminiscent of the pre-Internet method of distributing cartoons by photocopying them multiple times, each generation getting a little fuzzier and more degraded that the previous one.

Perhaps Monty should write a book on contortion showing how he manages to turn his head 180 degrees.
Also, I’ve been going through the archives and I’m sure there was already an arc where Monty is in Starbucks surrounded by other writers.

Who goes to a coffee bar to write if they are concerned about someone stealing their ideas? Only an idiot!

This strip wouldn’t be mildly amusing w/out Monty not being such a big loser, I guess.

One word for non-thinking tie-man: sunburn.

“Write about what you know.”
Monty should write about a loser trying and failing to become a writer….

“w/out Monty not being”
sounds very existential…
