It appears that Joe may have been given a peek at future strips, as he appears completely at ease with the similarities between this strip and what happened with the Bailey book.
Courtesy of Joe's blog:
Hedley is the Fox News reporter who was stalking me last summer at Lake Lucille.
If he ever starts tweeting the juicy stuff, I’m screwed.
Nobody will ever buy my book.But surely he couldn’t do that without an okay from his boss.
And because his boss is my old friend Roger Ailes, that could never happen.
Could it?
Pre-emptive damage control? Fanning the flames of controversy to drum up interest? Knowing Joe I would not be surprised if it was a little of both.
Clearly Joe is inviting people to talk about his book and the controversy surrounding the release of the Bailey manuscript. However since he has closed the comments on his blog, he has not provided a forum for that conversation to take place.
Now I know that many of you have strong feelings about all of this drama concerning Joe and Frank's books, and I will endeavor to give you all some leeway here to discuss those feelings. However I am going to warn you that I might reject a comment that just seems overly insulting or designed simply to turn people against each other.
