The young artist tells his father that he has submitted a comic to the 95th contest in which he is eligible to win three prizes. He asks his father why he did not enter the contest, and his father tells him that he should enter if he wants to. The comic is published in the same issue as his father's, and the young artist wonders if the comic industry is healthy because of the number of entries. He also wonders why his father sent the comic to his house instead of to the publisher's office. He wonders why the publisher ignored the delivery of the comic, and he wonders why they sent the reviews instead of the sheet reviews. He thinks that they are like resumes, but now is not the time to screw around. He says that the reviews are all deadly serious, though, and that he would like to see them focus on a single character and appeal to readers based on that character.
