If you read a book during the writers strike

[whisky]

Does that make you a scab?

 

[Dr Dave]

Not at all.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Only if it's a script book.

 

[Cassie]

Only if you write a book during the strike. The readers aren't on strike.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Only if you wrote it and you're reading to tv show execs.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Wait a minute...this is a TV writer's strike, right? AUTHORS aren't going on Strike too, are they? Surely that would make no sense! George Martin isn't going to delay A Dance With Dragons AGAIN?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

No, it's just TV and movies. Book writers must get pretty good pay.

 

[Cassie]

Book writers have fewer people to share the profits with.

 

[CaptainWacky]

What about people who write webcomics? Wait, who cares.

 

[The Dork Lord]

There's no money in Webcomics!
