Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 28, 2021

Joe Purple Prose.

too many metaphors, sentence after sentence

And that’s why your manuscripts keep getting sent back!

As Truman Capote once said, “That’s not writing…that’s typing!”

Most of those metaphors burned up in the sky and never reached the Earth.

Mixed metaphors & slippery symbolism.

Should have stuck with “It was a dark and stormy night”.

He’s writing like Amanda McKittrick Ros.

On an encouraging note, even the Harlequin Romance stories found a niche audience …

Now we need to hear from Joe Simile.

The lightning of curiosity strikes the mountain of my mind, causing an avalanche of… wanting-to-know-stuff.

Where’s the metaphor?

Joe Melodramatic

A poem by Joe Cool.

He can metaphor like nobody’s business.

Blather, plain and simple.

A beagle’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a metaphor?

Middle name Mixed?

You’re going from hot to cold there Snoopy.

Someone had to take a stab at it!

Sounds like a good start to a steamy bodice ripper of a paperback by an unknown author who cranks out one a week. You can find them in a Dollar Store near you.

An avalanche of “Ayyy!”

The stench from this effluvium brings forth waterfalls of sorrow streaming from the wells of my soul…

I believe Capote was speaking of Jack Kerouac and his “spontaneous prose”. Kerouac even rigged a typewriter with a roll of paper so he would not be interrupted to change sheets of paper. The results were purportedly unedited.

This canine truly deserves to own the classic vintage typewriter. Modern laptops may not fill the gap of exemplary style.

Clearly Snoopy doesn’t like this particular personality. No smile when he introduces Joe Metaphor.

“I never metaphor I didn’t like!”

You need to slow your metaphor roll, Snoopy.

xD

Well, what is it?

It was a dark and stormy Beagle….
