hehe, very good. the guy is a physics graduate who likes to cartoon and make observations about the literary genre among other things and it took me two minutes to figure that out.
ask him if he can draw cog trying to get the idea through the heads of all those beginners who ask 'will this work' type questions, that it does no good to ask if a plot idea is any good! think of all the time and energy and frustration it would save him, if he could just plunk that cartoon into a post, instead of having to type an answer...
not well-aimed enuf imo, cog!... that was more on the lines of being too wordy, than of asking others for ideas when they should be self-generated... i'd like to one with see your figure having a thought balloon bursting with ideas over his head and the asker's a total blank!
