HOT OFF THE DIGITAL PRESS!

As usual, more interesting and salubrious reading than it would seem possible to fit in a publication this size, thanks to our handy new state-of-the-art AS-6000 (Article Squeezer 6000). Read on and you’ll see exactly what we’re talking about.

We do a 180°

Oh, there are a few jokes in their usual spot (page 13), but not the wall-to-wall jocularity of the April 1 issue. In fact, story #1 addresses the tragic and growing problem of pain pill addiction.
