You Can Do a Graphic Novel

Sometimes the work load is so heavy, I have to hire an
assistant. When that happens, I usually call the local art
school and speak to somebody who writes my information
on an index card and then posts it on the bulletin board.
The card probably reads something like this ...

A young man came for an interview. He was nice and I liked his
portfolio so I thought I would hire him for the day and see how
things worked out. He was talented and easy to work with so we just
continued on day after day for over a year. After several months, I
told him that I thought it was strange that the art school only sent
one applicant. He smiled and said, “It was the flowers.” Apparently,
the last time he went for an interview, he gave the woman in
charge of the bulletin board a bouquet of flowers to thank her for a
previous contact. He did not get that job, so when my call came in
(and still smelling the flowers) she called him right away. The index
card never did get posted on the bulletin board!
