Melbourne Writer Pens Headline Written In Third Person As Part Of Dubious Website Gimmick
Author bio tries too hard, sources confirm
Dan Liebke is a Melbourne-based comedy writer who spent two decades contributing to MAD magazine before deciding books were a more efficient use of his time, a hypothesis that remains as yet unproven.
He writes on a variety of topics ranging from cricket history to comic book parody to children's sci-fi to action adventure to movie franchise analysis, and everything in between. (Where 'in between' is presumably taken to mean some genre-topological perimeter sufficiently elastic to include, for example, fake footnotes for Sherlock Holmes.)
"Is this third person newspaper-style bio still working?"
— Dan Liebke, suddenly doubting the very premise of this gimmickSources close to the author confirm that the mathematics degree he graduated with in 1991 was not wasted, exactly, but that it has also 'not come up much recently'.
