I posted a silly one this week that readers and writers might enjoy, especially if they get the references. "The easiest and/or hardest jobs in fictional lands." 14 entries in total, first 3 shown in screenshot.

My multi-writer blog When Falls the Coliseum has added a cartoonist. You can see Alex Hoffman's first comic "I Will Not Eat It RFK!" at the link. It's like Green Eggs and Ham but much worse.

We are pleased to present the first comic from our contributor @alexthoffman.bsky.social

"I Will Not Eat It RFK!"

Discovered that a smart, well-read friend knew 11 of the 14 references and another smart (but not a big reader) one knew 5. The jokes work better if you get the references I guess. How many did you get without having to look it up?
Some "jokes" about 1984, Dune, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, Wizard of Oz, Hunger Games, Ursula K. Le Guin, C.S. Lewis, Gulliver's Travels...
