Yesterday, we published an interview with author JP McIlvaine in which she reminded us that “You’re never too old or too late to follow your dreams.” Today, our favorite cartoonist-philosopher, Grant Snider, presents his view of the very same truism. Could it be that we’re onto something here?

Truer words were never spoken than those above, and we’re delighted to see that the speaker, PJ McIlvaine is one of our favorite people and a top writer as well. Hi, PJ!
PJ McIlvaine has been published in The New York Times and Newsday. PJ is also a regular contributor for the Children’s Book Insider newsletter, and a co-host of #PBPitch, a Twitter pitch party for picture book creators.
PJ has written across ages and genres, including a screenplay for Showtime which became the movie My Horrible Year. Her picture book, Dragon Roar, releases on Oct. 19, 2021 through MacLaren-Cochrane Publishing, Inc, which specializes in books for readers with dyslexia.
(EDITOR’S NOTE: …Plus Brief General “Trek” TV and Film History because Herbie J is nothing if not the complete completist.)
In 1965, NBC commissions the first Star Trek TV pilot episode, titled, “The Cage,” starring Jeffrey Hunter, who played Jesus in King of Kings, as Captain Pike, and Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock. But it’s deemed too cerebral and doesn’t sell.
A second pilot is ordered, called, “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” starring William Shatner as Captain Kirk and Nimoy back as Spock. This new pilot is more action-oriented and sells.
Today, our favorite cartoonist-philosopher, Grant Snider, presents his daytime thought about a situation that eventually comes after all of us, especially creatives, long after dark.
