Eight-panel cartoon. Panel 1: A man sits next to bespectacled editor at a café. He says, “So you’re an editor? I guess I’d better watch how I talk around you, huh? Panel 2: Bespectacled editor responds, “Heh. Not at all. I promise I won’t judge your grammar unless you ask me to.” Panel 3: Man says, “Oh, I won’t mind. You can be as harsh as you want with me. I can take it… In fact…” Panel 4: Man leans toward bespectacled editor, and says, “I’ve been very, VERY bad…” Panel 5: Bespectacled editor looks bewildered. Panel 6: She says, “Um…I think I know someone who can help.” Panel 7: Curly-haired editor is on her cellphone, and she says, “Hey, thanks for the referral.” Panel 8: The frame pans out to show the man in shackles in a dungeon and curly-haired editor holding a whip that looks like a dele. She says, “I’m sure it’ll be a great fit!”

Turd

Shoutout to the many editors who have put in the time, effort, and skill needed to turn shapeless, smelly turds into coprolites and then polish them to a mirror finish. Too often your dedication goes unnoticed.
