Description

Sure! Here’s the text transcription of the comic:

Panel 1:

• Character 1: "How'd you like my novel?"
• Character 2: "Fine."

Panel 2:

• Character 1: "That's not terribly useful. Come on. Give me your honest reaction."

Panel 3:

• Character 2: "All of the sentences in your novel—individually and as a group—are garbage. I would have to create new mathematics just to describe how dimensionless your characters are. You are so bad at writing that if the shape of letters weren't standardized, you'd probably be bad at that too. You could make your novel better by being someone else who would write a different novel."

Panel 4:

• Character 1: looking sad
• Character 2: "Okay, but would you be willing to write a blurb?"
• Character 3: "'Best novel of its kind.'"
