MISS WORLD If you only have one guitar pick, you break it easily. If you have a big pile of them, you don't break any! Aaaahhh, 'tis the Law of Sod!

SKY WARRIOR My cats have brainwashed me and I, too, am now evil! I have no choice but to help them with their plans for world domination. They just want feeding.

INFERNAL FELINE The blackboard may be blank, but it still possesses the chalk. So... er... you never know.

 

BOLIVIAN RAGAMUFFIN

Why did you have to toast your toast when, by your own admission, your toast was already toasted?

WLW, did you not notice this? Or do you both shop at the ready-made toast shop?

Nice chatting chickadees...

Ginga Ninja

Well... we... I... well, obviously...

LOOK, I DUNNO, OK?

 

'ZINERS

Yay! Another folky 'Ziner! I, too, like Fairport Convention. They hail from the village of Cropredy, only a few miles from my home. Their present fiddler is my mate's uncle! How groovy is that?

Anyone going to the Cropredy Festival this year? It should be good — even though I'll be the youngest there by a few decades!

And check out one of the latest album covers. It shows a music shop called One Man Band — that's in my town, Banbury!

Tiger In Blueprint

Fairport Convention? Cropredy?

FIDDLER? ONE MAN BAND? ER... HELLO?

 

THE CURTSY

Join me in my bid to promote the curtsy. The curtsy is much under-used. Gone are the days of politeness, when women used to curtsy and show their ankles. You're lucky to even get an acknowledgement these days.

Our heritage is being wasted. Did they have trendies in the 17th century? No. Did they greet you with a curtsy? Yes. I see a link there.

I bid you farewell with a humble curtsy in my futile attempt to gain recognition.

Unspecified Time

And I doff my hat to you, madam.

NOT ENOUGH DOFFING THESE DAYS

 

IF 'ZINERS WERE FRIENDS CHARACTERS...

Am I going to get in trouble for this?

The Vegetarian Vampire

Oh yes — you are sooooooooo

GONNA GET INTO TROUBLE!

 

DrLOZBAKER

Your goal is a futile one. You will never banish me from the 'Zine because the 'Zine is where I belong. The clashing of personalities and opinions is what makes the 'Zine interesting.

How boring would it be if we all agreed 100% of the time? Besides which, I give an opportunity for idiots like you and Whiskey Butcher to get your fascinating opinions printed.

Parsley Possum

I agree — or not...

WHATEVER

 

SALUTATIONS!

Did you guys know that I am secretly a German fairy? I only found out myself recently. It came as a bit of a shock, but now I'm warming to the idea.

And I don't really wanna be German but hey, fairies rock! I'm currently borrowing the wand.

Would anyone like to lend me a set of wings?

Broccoli The Evil One

You are one strange,

STRANGE LADEEEEE

 

SQUIRRELS

WLW, I'm afraid you got it wrong about squirrels hibernating. You mean to say that you've never seen a squirrel in the winter?

They do become lazy and sleep a lot, but don't hibernate like hedgehogs do.

Ask your grandad — mine's a minefield of useless information. Still, he cuts a fine figure propping up some bar or other in Birkenhead.

The Snorkmistress

They don't? Blimey — talk about

KEEPING A LOW PROFILE!
