Them’s fighting words
The reader known to most of us as Golfwidow also has another name.
“Sondra Harris” – It’s obviously a made-up pen name, the type that most good writers have…
Which she is, an author I mean.
I have to draw pictures to get my point across, but our friend Golfwidow can do it using only words.
…and thank you for some excellent puns.

Ooh, a book fatality. I was half-expecting to see “Getting My Think On” rip out “Thinking for Dummies”‘ spine.
I was tempted by that, but went for the (only slighlty) more subtle ‘leaves’ pun at the end… get it? One book leaves?
Oh well, I know it’s terrrible, but hey it’s what I do.
I’m glad I haven’t been booked on this assault yet.
And thank you.
I would sooner tangle with George Forman and a hot sandwich machine than mess with Golfwidow.
put down the pun, and walk slowly away from it, and no one will be hurt.
gw knows that is my one and only pun, and i use it all the time.
I bought a sexy new dust jacket.
I’m looking for a good underground
book-binding to get my kink on.
Golfwidow: a good friend of mine is working on a book right now, for which I’m doing illustrations. Any advice on finding agents/publishers/etc.? Also, the book looks great: I shall rush to my local book store and demand a copy!
Adam: wonderful use of punnery. I just remembered an idea I had back when I was hiking the AT. If I can did up the pictures in the journal, I’ll send them to you — I’d love to see your take on it.
Not surprised Harris kicked the shit out of Dummy.
I want to be the ring girl when the pages go flying like that.
All that’s missing is a link to buy that fantastic book.
Great comic! Couldn’t agree more.
Pay attention, Andy … there’s a link already.
But for those of you that missed it and really don’t have the energy to scroll back to the top of the post:
Getting My Think On
Funny how you can confuse brilliant salesmanship on my part for general laziness or stupidity.
Now the readers not only see the funny comic (and a brilliant review of sorts), but then take more time to look for the link where to buy the book. Add the extra link thrown in by Adam in the comments and I’d say my work of big pimpin’ for my podcast partner is done. I should get some sort of big-time cash bonus for a sales ploy like that.
Of course, it IS easier to assume I’m lazy and stupid. I assume that all the time.
We have a rule here at The Flowfield Unity; if you do something cool, whether by accident or intentionally, you still get full credit for it either way.
I’m looking forward to listening to your podcast… I only heard about it earlier this week so I’m itching to catch up over the weekend.
