The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for December 09, 2020

There’s hope… and then there’s reality.

Good Luck. Would love to read ‘ten comic strips a day 7 days a week for the next 40 years’. Not sure you would want to do that, even for a gorgeous house.

If Charles Schulz could do it…

Don’t forget the trombone, Lennie — how’s your double-tonguing technique? Fast enough??

Bill Holbrook probably does that many in about a week, so go for it!

Lennie, DON’T sacrifice Quality for Quantity!

“Funny” is subjective. Who judges this metric?

That being said, how strict is gocomics about multiple accounts? I can handle at most [counting on fingers] five. Maybe ten. If I take off my shoes I’m up to twenty.

Anything can happen in a comic strip

It could be done if he does a variety of spin-off comics: There could be one where Homeslice reports the news from a cat’s perspective; there could be one where Lenny was a kid and had a stuffed tiger; there could be one where Homeslice becomes a business cat; how about one where Lenny lives in the stone ages; maybe one where Lenny is a kid and his cat Homeslice sleeps on top of a dog house; and the political cartoons! Left! Right! So many opportunities!

“And the comic strips have to be funny”. Pressure, pressure, pressure! Maybe you better focus on just a one million dollar house and have weekends off.

How long have you been doing this strip. I’ve been following you for about a year, I think. Maybe it’s time to put out some books, like “Cartoons that made my followers quit”. One good book probably brings in at least $1,000,000 for sure.

All that matters is that you stay here for us.

Hey, LP, you can pick my place up for a cool quarter mill. 3 BR 2 1/2 Bath on a shady acre just westish of Omaha.
