“Let me write that down…it sounds like a good idea.”
Scriptwriter James Goldman made a similar comment in the foreword to the novelization of his screenplay for the 1976 film Robin and Marian in which Robin Hood dies at the end. One of the producers who had turned down the screenplay told Goldman, “I wouldn’t touch this with a bargepole. You may as well kill off Tarzan.” After quoting this, Goldman commented “which I thought, and still think, would be a good idea.”
Speaking of whale stories, my wife had to read Moby Dick in school. She absolutely hated that story. She was an avid reader, and as far as I know, that was the only time she despised a book so much that she literally threw it across the room.
“It was a dark and stormy night. He was lying awake looking at the rejection notice from the publishing company. The rocking of the whale was making him seasick … "

There’s only one Jonah story anyway, so they’d see it as more durative and unnessary.

Lucy. Typical know-it-all. Since when do dogs work to support themselves ?(Shy of searching for food 24/7 when their worthless owners neglect them.)

Dogs can support their families via their owners.

Maybe Snoopy could do it with science fiction. Clifford Simak made a living at that with oodles of dogs showing up in his stories.

That job sounds traumatic. There must be a lot of sobbing and gnashing of teeth going on if you were working at a wailing magazine.
Staffed by nothing but a bunch of crybabies!
