Clinton would clock Obama in the face, his campaign would scream about how unfair and biased it is that she fought him, and he'd start demanding she keep it clean, at which point he'd punch <i>her</i> in the face, and saunter away with his hands in his pockets to uproarious applause from his congregation.

This is true. The rules must be obeyed ... like Thunderdome. In all seriousness though, congratulations on the first issue. Keep it up. The Commentator started the same way - a few people who were tired of the same old shit. It's easy for me to sit up on my high horse and harrumph, seeing as how I stepped into an already established magazine, but it takes some balls to start your own publication. More power to you guys. P.S. To be fair, everyone is less funny than The Onion, so it's nothing to feel bad about. P.P.S. 10-point Times New Roman would be fine, even 12-point, as long as you use a different font for your headline (preferably sans serif). P.P.P.S. Come up to the office sometime and shoot the shit with us. Jackson Hager wrote: “tradition demands that school publications snipe at each other a bit.”

You guys are really a campus institution and we have all the respect in the world for you, but tradition demands that school publications snipe at each other a bit. After all, it's always easier to point out flaws in others than see them in yourself. We have a lot to learn and every bit helps. (for example, how about size 10 Times New Roman next time, that would be daring!) All the best, and keep up the good work, --Jackson Indeed, thanks for noticing us on our first day!

My favorite part was also the dino comics. That Ryan North is a cool guy. If I had to pick one man to be stranded on a desert island with, well, it'd be Johnny Depp. But Ryan North would be a close second! But I digress. We're happy to have put out our first issue and we realize there are growing pains to be had. First issue, alpha release, bullshit excuses, etc, etc. We look forward to publishing a second issue and then, uh, taking a 3 month break? (Yeah, nice timing, I know.) Kai Davis CJ,
