Jeff: Me - a published author! This changes everything! Becca: Did you get your copy yet? Jeff: I'm holding it right now! It's totally awesome! Becca: Isn't it? The sales force is as excited as I've seen them in a long time... we've got a pre-sale of 48,000 copies! Jeff: You say the pre-sale is almost 50,000 copies? Becca: Uh... yes, we've had to up the print order three times... we expect "The Red Rascal" to be a major holiday title for us! Jeff: Sorry, Becca, I didn't catch all that... let me put your on speakerphone! Joanie: Enough, Jeffrey!
Some random thoughts: • I feel Becca is Doonesbury’s sexiest female character. Note I didn’t say best-looking; in my opinion that honor would go to Drew. • My faith in Jeff has been rewarded. (C’mon, all you Jeff detractors out there, admit you’ve read and enjoyed the Sorkn Razil episodes.) • His flakey actions are at least partially explained as those characteristic of many creative types. • I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the hostile relationship between Jeff and Rick, who is also a writer. • Is Joanie skipping back-and-forth through an Einsteinian spacetime wormhole?
