Description
Anyone can publish a novel these days, but not all novels are created equal. Winslow definitely thinks he has what it takes to be a successful author. Better get Ben’s opinion, first!
You’ll notice that today’s strip is “sketchier” than usual. That’s because it IS a sketch. This had nothing to do with laziness or lack of time. I was kind of forced into doing things this way. This is a really wordy strip, so much so that the letters are half the size of those found in my usual strips. The only problem with writing in such small print is that I can’t go over them with black colored pencil without affecting readability. So this is nothing put ordinary pencil.
There won't be a Ben & Winslow strip on Defenestration this Friday, because the literary magazine portion of the site goes live Saturday morning. I'll post a comic here on deviantART next week, though, so you don't feel deprived.

I hear it was originally a Twilight fan fiction that got reworked into its own story. It's total crap, but it will definitely sell millions and get a movie deal.

It's a proven formula for success.

OK, after I read this, I realized I laughed the most and the hardest in a long time. Yeah, that's probably how the douchebag who wrote the parchment vampiric monstrosity that is Twilight got his name known.

Thanks. This is probably one of my favorite comics.

You're welcome! If you ever animate individual Ben and Winslow misadventures, this would be an ideal candidate.

Dude, you've got to make a side series or at least a comic or two about this; like Ben and Winslow get really sucked into a game of D&D or something.

I did one series where they were PLAYING a game of D&D. And another where Winslow hallucinated a fantasy world.

So, do they drown in the cheese, or are they boiled alive in the velveeta?

Someone once submitted a story to my literary magazine that was about a detachable sentient penis. It was terrifying. And unpublishable.

*Stops licking unicorn horn to laugh*
Unicorn: Y u no lick horn?
The comely wrench came into the basement, the lights shone off of her metal surface.
It felt good to have the light caress her shiny red finish. She put her mouth gently on the leaking pipe and twisted. The pipe screeched in appreciation. Soon the leak stopped.
The wrench wiped the liquid off of her mouth with a flirty smile and left the basement.
Scene from The Lovely Tools.
Looks great.

Well, I once heard someone describe The Lord of The Rings as 'a long walk to a mountain described over 3000 pages', so I guess Winslow's book sort of sounds more exciting if you look at it that way!

This one has a long walk to a mountain filled with molten cheese. Twice!
