The Return of Stickman #1175



When you are in the habit of doing conventions and book signings, you’re often seated next to other creative professionals who are also hawking their wares. An instant camaraderie is formed, often resulting in the “straight trade,” that is, your book for their book. This week, I’ll feature the straight trades that have entered my life.

“Ruin Your Life” by Jack Cameron
Perhaps a better title for this book is “The How-To Guide for Living an Interesting Life without Dying, Becoming a Drug Addict, or Remaining Permanently behind Bars,” but I can understand why he went for the shorter, more effective title.

The Return of Stickman #1060


This didn't actually happen to me, but it did happen to a friend of mine. I wonder what he is going to go now.

The Return of Stickman #1013


This 'possible' version of events might be a little extreme. But, as a frequent business traveler, I can easily say that I would not want to be sitting next to, in front of, or behind, a little boy with a plastic sword. Of course, I'm also one of the crotchety people who don’t have kids and thinks that maybe children should be stored in barrels. And whether or not the bung in thrust into the hole is as well is a matter of debate. Maybe the youth in question is stellar in his behavior, but swords, especially pirate swords, are made for swashbuckling, and there really is no room on commercial airliners for swashbucklers. Niquil, yes, swords, no.
