Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for January 12, 2011

I admire his kidnapping and ransom note writing skills.

Not really. Bad punctuation and he used caps in the wrong places. His fifth grade kidnapping teacher will be appalled.

A good kidnapping note uses different size type, and eschews punctuation. This randomness inspires fear in the hearts of those from whom the ransom is demanded.

It takes a man of letters to compose a good ransom note.

But don’t forget the numbers; LARGE ones!

But will anyone pay to get Brewster back?

That looks like my cablevision bill.

It’s bad form to use letters from the same magazine. Use several.

Throw in a case of beer…..

when composing a kidnap note in this fashion, doesn’t that leave fingerprints all over the note and the letters?

oops! these are robots. duh! no fingerprints…..

never mind.

Who knew, Dirk Raider was a people person?

Yeah, I always pictured him as an US Weekly kind of guy.

Don’t they have a font called “Ransom Note” for the iphone?

They might have to pay the crew of the R U Sirius to take Brewster back.

If you send an email, you can always change the font, size and color to make it look like cutout letters.

^or use a font that does it for you

People who need people, are the luckiest people in the world.

Was it a special issue, or just everyday People?
