Don’t buy the paperback version of Sunday Brunch #2. For some reason they are charging me a printing cost of $15 when it should be $8.35.  I’m going to shut down that book and start it over again tomorrow. I spent all day today reducing file sizes, but that didn’t help.

I was asked about an app for Chrome Book in comments. Here is some info.

Also I was asked about the paperbacks in other countries. I’ll look into expanded distribution tomorrow and let you know what I can find out. From what I’ve seen so far, it raises printing costs considerably. But I’ll look into it.

About 50 years ago my little Indian friend, Karnick, and I went to French Town in Tallahassee to Minor’s Bar-B-Que and Fish Market and bought a couple plates of take-out tripe. Have you ever tried to eat it? Oh my God! It’s very chewy and it smells and tastes like rancid pee-soaked Depends. I took one bit and spit it out. Karnick ate both his and mine. Well last week Loinfruit bought a turkey for Thanksgiving. Along with the turkey they gave him, absolutely free, a hamburger patty AND (you guessed it) a pound of tripe. So yesterday Frau G gets into her grandmother’s Italian cookbook and finds a recipe for tripe. First off you have to boil it for two hours. The whole damn house smelled like Grandma Horsewipe’s dirty underpants. Geeze! The worst part is they don’t collect the garbage till tomorrow.

And speaking of butcher shop free samples, here’s Mr. Shultz …

I believe that the paperback and Kindle versions of all the collections are now available, or very soon will be. But if you had intended to buy the two Sunday collections in paperback, hold off. I am going to try to reduce the printing cost of book 2 significantly. The cost of the Brunch #2 book is much higher than the Brunch book, and I think I know why. File sizes in book 2 are higher than in book 1. I think it’s because of all the color gradients in book 2. I should have it done in a few days.

BTW, today FSU (9-0) is playing the North Alabama Lions (7-3) 

Sorry I was late yesterday.

Howdy. The daily Kindle books should all be available tomorrow, and if not, Friday. The second Sunday collection, Ernie & the Piranha Club Sunday Brunch #2, should be available Friday, and the two Sunday collections on Friday or Saturday. The Sunday collections each have 165 Sundays. I have one more Sunday collection to do and then it’s Miller Time.

I’ll let you know when the Kindle versions are available. Should be by the end of this week.

Guess where I went to college. I believe that this was the year Charlie Ward won the Heisman and FSU won the championship.

Happy Anniversary. Geeze! 46 years!

I forgot to mention yesterday that I’m making the Kindle books sharable.

This is from 1997…

I finally finished the second collection of Ernie/Piranha Club Sundays. It will be available from Amazon in a few days. The bad news is that the printing costs are very high. They raised them a couple months ago. It costs $28 (of which I get $1.80). I also had to raise the price of all the daily collections, except 88-89-90 and 17-18, by $1. They won’t print them otherwise. But relax. I will make a Kindle versions of all 17 collections available by the end of this coming week. Most of the daily collections will be $5. I don’t know the cost of the Kindle versions of the Sunday collections or the 88-89-00 and 17-18 dailies yet. I’m limited to uploading a max of 3 books a day because Amazon is fighting the the uploading of AI generated titles. After these I intend to do one more collection of Sundays, then I’m done. It takes a long time. This last Sunday collection took me over 5 months to finish. I have to recolor, reformat, etc.  I do have a couple collections of magazine cartoons that are available on Amazon I think. They may make me raise the price like on the daily collections. In a couple weeks I’ll make them available on Kindle as well.

Frau G is out getting her hair done. (Tomorrow is our anniversary) (I think it’s tomorrow. Could be Sunday)(At least I remembered)(46 years, I think)
