Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 12, 2023

You can just see how old Chip and/or this comic is. A typewriter?

It’s like they say; Write what you know.

Phideaux has a dislike for small checks.

I like realistic writers

And he’ll do a sidebar on the embarrassment of pants with holes.

Actually his inserts protected him. You are looking at unscratched, non bleeding cardboard.

Non-fiction = Scooters Obituary

Chip decided to venture into writing non-fiction since “Cujo” had already been done.

I wonder where Chip gets his inspiration from?

Inspiration for yet another Storyworth question.

Good morning Balladeers!

It’s very hard to write on pets especially belligerent ones.

They move around too much.

Once he gets his computer running, he’ll upload it to Shreddit.

Insult to Injury: It wasn’t his pet…

Runaway Best-Seller (Run away! Run away!)

Review-Bombed by the “Ballard St. Antagonistic Rottweiler Kennel”…

Epilogue by Scooter?

So much for playing “fetch” in the pool with the piranha.

This happened back in the day…………Chip has since decided to retire!

Wonder where he gets his inspirations…

I had a cat who loved to play with my manual typewriter. I would find the keys jammed in the morning. Eventually, I bought an unjammable IBM Selectric. I had other uses for it but I was curious what the cat would type.

It was disappointing. His plots were thin, had no character development and were very Siamese-centric. I was just glad he was having a good time. :)

Susan, it’s so good to “see you”!

The title: Been there. Done that.

How much writing would I (or you) get done on a computer, with the national news, world news, emails, breaking news, etc, available, or even interrupting, my (or your) fiction or nonfiction, or other writing??? A typewriter, whether manual or electric, avoids all that, though all the mistakes I used to make,and the erasures, made the paper too thin to read.

Was it Phideax or Felix the cat? It looks like the work of a belligerent cat if you ask me.

…while the memory is still fresh
