So, when I write up these Mary Worth plot recaps I copy out the dubious inspirational quotes first. And to do that I start by copying the last quote from the previous plot recap. And then I delete most of the words from that quote, so I can start typing a new one in just by double-clicking on the one word and typing. This week, this resulted in my getting this ominous declaration from the creator of one of the most beloved comic strips of all time:
It feels weirdly threatening, like he’s worried I’m thinking about drawing Snoopy’s nephew Stretch or something.

I hope you don’t mind but I referenced you in Comics Curmudgeon under Mary Worth—“Why does EVERY girl I pick up live in the 555 exchange? I’m no J. Nebus,but that’s just gotta be against the odds!”, thinks Jared.

I don’t mind, and I’m flattered to be thought of! Thank you. (I’m erratic on reading the Comics Curmudgeon comments. Depends on how busy a day I’m having and how angry I am at Funky Winkerbean.)

I also borrowed your last name to create Atticus Nebus, the Beast’s Math teacher turned abbicus for a Slylock Fox snark based on Beauty and the Beast.

I am flattered and mightily impressed. It’s rather a big name to live up to, though.
