As I know Batiuk is aware, Silver Age DC Comics creators would often come up with a cover idea and then develop a story around said art (one editor’s obsession with gorillas on covers, thinking they sold better, led to a plethora of simian-themed tales in the late ’50s and early ’60s). This, of course, is all we ever get from Atomik Komix.
That being said, you don’t write newspaper headlines ahead of the news or even feature articles themselves…and who on Earth wants to read about people hauling their own leaves to the landfill? Also, didn’t Emily prove herself capable of writing punny headlines during her November stint, or was that now Amelia, too?
Can’t afford to collect leafs? What? Why anyone want to collect leafs? Is it like stamps or coins or sometheeng? Collecting leafs with trucks? What? What you collecting it for? Taking it to nearest compost manufacturing centre or sometheeng? Its called collecting?
Hey, pin-up boy! Why not have her write a real headline for some real news? Not that anything newsworthy happens in the Flunkyverse, but you could at least pretend to try.
Batiuk on “Newspapers as they should be” is just as sad as Batiuk on “Comix as they should be.” With comix its all cover page, no story. With Newspapers its all headline, no story. Both terrible in every instance.
Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come,or a plane to go or the mail to come,or the rain to go or the phone to ring,or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or Noor waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting…………for Crank to come back!!!!!!!

Skip has discovered he is a twin also. His long lost brother, O. G. Wotasnozzle, the creation of EC Segar (of Popeye fame) found him on the internet.

There now. Isn’t this more fun than ranting about free speech and book burning?
Pass the popcorn and methadone.
