{{TB|Darn, yet another apocalypse didn't come to pass. Us preppers just can't catch a break.}}
{{Tapped Out Lloyd Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I had so many plans for the post-apocalyptic hellscape: shaving my hair into a mohawk, wearing all leather, instituting a Beanie Baby-based currency…}}
{{Tapped Out Lloyd Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I should stop talking to myself before people start thinking the guy-who's-rooting-for-society-to-collapse is crazy!}}
{{Tapped Out Lloyd Icon}}
{{TB|I'll just write my thoughts in my journal. Now, which Beanie Baby notebook should I use…}}

=== Pt. 2 ===
{{Table|
{{THT|After tapping on Lloyd's exclamation mark|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Lloyd Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Look at all these pages! Writing's sorta like prepping for the apocalypse, but instead of gathering canned beans and ammo, you just gather your thoughts…most of which are about ammo.}}
{{Tapped Out Carl Icon}}
{{TB|Have you ever thought about getting a publisher and making this into a book?}}
{{Tapped Out Lloyd Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Of course I have! Half the reason I got into prepping was to make my way into the literati!}}
{{Tapped Out Lenny Icon}}
{{TB|Oh, so you don't need our advice?}}
{{Tapped Out Lloyd Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Only thing I need is to decide which publishing house I'm gonna go with: Simon & Shooter, Random Bunker, Doubledoomsday, HarperShut-ins…}}

{{TB|Well, which publisher did ya go with? Lemme guess: you decided to self-publish.}}
{{Tapped Out Lloyd Icon}}
{{TB|No way! I'll risk being self-sufficient when society falls, but I need professionals to get this book into as many stores as possible.}}
{{Tapped Out Lloyd Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I went with Oxford University Press. Those cutthroat psychos will get this book on more shelves than a prepper's jars during pickling season.}}
{{Tapped Out Lenny Icon}}
{{TB|So, what's next? You work with an editor to get your book in perfect shape?}}
{{Tapped Out Lloyd Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Nah, they got people to do that for me. I have to work on something far more important: my photo for the book cover!}}

{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Ah, the understated look. Wearing two monocles was a nice touch, too.}}
{{Tapped Out Lindsey Naegle Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|There he is, the author of “Thus Prepped Zarathustra”!}}
