Thank you all for the kind compliments and thank you Julie for reaching out to me. I hope with keep in touch-- your work is excellent and your Humor Me Substack is always entertaining.
Bob’s book on museums sounds amazing, Heidi! His dedication and creative process are inspiring. Excited to explore the unique museums he’s highlighted. Thanks for sharing this insight into the publishing world!👍
Have you read Your Caption Has Been Selected yet? It's by someone who won the New Yorker caption contest several times, and it's a good mix of nerdy how-to guidance on writing jokes and silliness.
I've admired Bob's work for years! This is such a great interview, Julie and Bob! This book will make a wonderful gift--I just ordered a copy. And that contractor on a milk carton...hilarious and relatable! Thanks for sharing this. xx
Bob sounds amazing, and I'm now a subscriber! His answers are honest and hard, but I think he's right that even if it's rough right now and getting worse, there's gotta be a point coming up where things start to get better.
Agreed. And even though I think the realities of things are harsh I think it's good to be aware of some of the challenges in publishing out there right now. Thanks for reading!

Thanks for reading, Liz!
Your cats seem more cooperative than mine :) And I loved Bob Newhart too. (Forgot to mention earlier :) )
I loved your pub day cat photo :)
Thank you! I won't tell you how many Temptations it took to get that shot! :)
I somehow did not think to use treats, will remedy that next time!

The "my contractor" milk carton is brilliant. So is the image of the whale. Great piece.
I thought those were both great too!
