“To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm's way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.” PeopleKnowsMenWayWritingHomeMightMorningDrawsTasksSkinsTiredTrainBusyHarmContactJournalismEveningComing HomeCatchingHeartbreakingGood Writing Book:Selected essays Source: Selected essays

“Imagine you had a bank that each morning credited your account with $1,440 - with one condition: whatever part of the $1,440 you failed to use during the day would be erased from your account, and no balance would be carried over. What would you do? You'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. Well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. Every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes. And it writes off as forever lost whatever portion you have failed to invest to good purpose.” WritingWellsUseWould BePurposeNamesLostMorningForeverImagineMinutesConditionsBalanceDrawsAdvantageAccountsCreditPortionsCentsEvery Morning Author:Ann Landers

“Saturday morning cartoons do that now, where they develop the toy and then draw the cartoon around it, and the result is the cartoon is a commercial for the toy and the toy is a commercial for the cartoon. The same thing's happening now in comic strips; it's just another way to get the competitive edge. You saturate all the different markets and allow each other to advertise the other, and it's the best of all possible worlds. You can see the financial incentive to work that way. I just think it's to the detriment of integrity in comic strip art.” ThinkingWorldWayArtDifferentResultsMorningIntegrityDrawsHappeningsFinancialEdgesComicToysSaturdayCartoonIncentivesAnother WayComic StripsSaturday Morning Author:Bill Watterson
