Production Manager: We got the nicest note today from the author of BIG ART BOOK. He says it just looks beautiful.
Robert the Publisher: Wait, I haven't seen BIG ART BOOK yet. I didn't realize it was off the press!
Production Manager: Well, apparently it is; the author got his comp copies. Apparently our shipment went astray.
Robert the Publisher: Yes, but it's my book! I published it! How can I have a nice note from the author but not have a copy of the book to know what he's talking about?
Production Manager: Well, you can't have everything.

Ha!
Hee, hee, hee. I love Robert the Publisher. I almost wish he had his own comic strip...
@Miriam I would read that daily.
Hee, cute story.
Poor Robert!
Love notes . . . very appropriate for February - oh, wait, it's still January. I guess this post is all about timing being off.
:)
Love your Robert stories! Thanks for the morning laugh.
Hah! Like the idea of this as a comic strip. Very funny.
I once recieved a book from Amazon before it was shipped. Weird crap happens eh?
For some reason I was under the impression that Robert The Publisher could have everything he wanted. I have been enlightened!
Crimogenic--so did Robert the Publisher!
Ha! Just goes to show you never know :)
Poor Robert. Here's a cookie.
Wot - no posts yet this week? Is Ed Meeting even more poo than usual??
Well, I hope Tuesday's looking better for you, Moonie.
To start your morning, I've just nominated you for a Superior Scribbler Award (congratulations - you are already a winner!).
Have a great day!
Robert the Publisher is my favorite literary character.
