Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 01, 2021

Poor Snoopy hopes are destroyed.

oh, so close!

The editor is a bad boy.

Et tu, Snoopy?

It could be worse. They could have printed his submission as an example of how not to write.;-D

Kind of like the publisher that offers to put your novel into print if you agree to pay for the first 100 copies at a set amount of coin per copy. That bait and switch scheme has been around for centuries, it was on an episode of Little House a while back when Charles Ingalls father wrote a book of short stories and quotes, sent it out to a lot of publishers and thought he hit it big when he got a letter from one of them only to learn it would cost him a lot of coin (I think $35 at the time, 1880s) to get his book published….

Just a heads up. I won’t be visiting this website tomorrow for the obvious reason. And lest we forget, today isn’t just April Fools Day, but also Holy Thursday.

I remember the “Cancer Man” in the X-Files got punked and almost quit the FBI when he thought his memoirs about his exploits were going to be published only to find out his works were being serialized in a porn magazine that only guys like Frohike of the “Lone Gunmen” ever read…..

It’s a cruel world out there, Snoopy!

Happy April Flu’s Day!

Long before RICK ROLLING…

Should have checked your calendar, Snoopy!

Publishers are filled with trolls.

That had to hurt.

Some jokes are just too mean to even think about.

That’s mean spirited, and I especially don’t like our beloved beagle being treated that way

Don’t be an April Noodle! ( so the Brits say)

I feel bad for Snoopy in this storyline. He tried his best.

Love this one…

Now days it comes via e-mail: You have won a $100 gift card at (place name of a common business)

AAAAAAAUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Geez, that was savage of the publisher!

sad violin music intensifies

That’s just wrong……

Didn’t know Andrews-McNeel was around back then.

Ok, that’s just cruel!

Just remember aspiring author must suffer for their craft. Go drown your sorrows in a mug of rootbeer.

oof

I would expect a WW1 Flying Ace to get even.

Haha

haha snoopys story never get printed

That’s harsh.
