Then there was the time I was in a Krispy Kreme and the ladies all agreed that I looked like Stephen King. I was pulled in two directions: impressed that the KK ladies knew what an author looked like -- yet horrified because Stephen King is one gruesome-looking b@stard.
I remember when DeSantis started showing illustrations in some of these books to news outlets they had to cut their Fred because the material was too sexually explicit for their viewing audience.
