COMING SOON

This is the local Merkis Palms newspaper, and we'll have more about it soon (we hope!).

Yeah, Yeah, We Know...

 OK, we fully recognize that there are those of you reading this page who, even though there are no copies of the newspaper posted here (as yet), are gonna say, "Hey, what's with this 'Daily Weekly' stuff?  That name doesn't make sense."  

Ah...but...just maybe... it does..or...you be the judge.

Here's the explanation, such as it is.  There's only ONE staff member for the paper, Morton Moneypacker, and he wears all the hats.  

  • He is the reporter who collects the news (he gets a lot of it from Percival Heavens, whom you can read about on our Special Features Page).  

  • He does the writing (using his old Underwood manual typewriter).  

  • He does the editing (using a #2 pencil).  

  • He does the lay-out (using paper paper-and-glue to visualize, then back to the typewriter to type up the stencils).  

  • He does the mimeographing (using his 1957 A.B. Dick Mimeograph Machine).  

  • He does the distribution (using his 1956 Schwinn "Spitfire" bicycle).  

  • He does the whole shebang.  

 

And now YOU know...

 Wanna guess how long that takes?  Yep, takes a week.  SO...the paper comes out daily, BUT what's in it is a week old.  SO...It's called the "Daily Weekly."  That makes sense, doesn't it???
