I’ve deleted the image in question, as I don’t want to imply someone’s involved when there not.
With all due respect Calstock….I’m not seeing it. Imagery of a Christmas Tree, Santa, and stars? The only spelling mistake I see is "Fundracer", but that is just a play on words. In general, Zodiac didn’t write in all caps. We all see things differently I suppose.
“…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep.“ L.A. Times, 1969

Fair enough Tahoe. The general style is what caught my eye, rather than the specific imagery. A bit like recognising an artist’s work in a newly discovered portrait.
Of course, I’m totally open to the fact that this is mere coincidence.
Nah.
Never say never of course but even though this is a hand printed poster as opposed to handwriting, which accounts for 99% of the written evidence we have for Zodiac, there are, I believe, enough trait variations to cast doubt on it.
Without doing a major comparison on it here’s a few.
No three stroke K.
The uppercase M’s spread out to the base and Zodiac’s don’t.
The W’s have legs and a centre that line up (are level with each other). Zodiac’s aren’t. His centre is lower than the tops of the legs.
The uppercase A’s have a very high crossbar. Zodiac’s was either mid point or below.
The uppercase G’s are quite unique and I don’t believe I’ve seen Zodiac use any similar. This may be a styling thing but even on the Halloween card, which could be equivalent to ‘styling’ Zodiac still doesn’t use a similar on to this but rather stays consistent with this own ‘style’ of uppercase G.
There’s probably more but that should be enough illustrate.
“I don’t know Chief, he’s very smart or very dumb.“
Nah, not even close. Sorry, don’t see it. You can tell they took their time with each of these letters, nothing hurried, psychotic…

It was just an observation and I’m not going to defend it or get precious about it.
