Stephen King characters never just pick up a pen. It's always a brand name. And because I don't pay attention to anything beyond "Bic" I can only assume that he's mentioning cool pens. (Why would he mention them if they were crap?)
This observation serves no purpose, it's just something I started thinking about yesterday when Vic pulled out his [insert name here] pen to jot down some notes in a coffee shop. Nobody in the King universe just picks up a random ballpoint. It's little things like this that make me (erroneously, I'm sure) assume things about King himself. In my world, King has a pen fetish. And he chewed Excedrin at some point, also, because I've noticed a few of his characters doing that as well. Have you ever tried to chew any type of medicine not meant to be chewed? It's awful.
