Notes The narrator of the story is a writer for "these weird books." In the penultimate panel, he stands in a doorway, on the glass of which we can make out "St[an] Le[e] Edi[tor]." The man at the desk says, "Great stuff! Here's your dough! Now go home an' write some more stories!" The writer replies, "Thanks, Stan! I'll be back tomorrow with another one!"
