Meanwhile, back in Metropolis, former-bag-lady-turned-semi-attractive (by FW standards) literary agent Ann Apple informs Les that “we may have found a publisher for your book (this deal’s not done yet?): the KSU press.” And what is Les’ reply on hearing that he’s on the verge of finally accomplishing something?
- “That’s great news, Annie; you really came through for me.”
- “Kent State University Press? I had to fly to New York City to have my book published in O-friggin’-hio? Ya fired!”
- “Sounds like a winery.”
Yeah, you guessed it, Les went for the “funny” response. “Funny” as in here’s a guy who dreams of being published but doesn’t associate the word “press” with printing, only with red, red wine. Maybe Annie, the former bum, will appreciate the “pun”.
