It’s funny how easily you can go down one. Recently whilst looking into the Nancy Bellannack case I can across a magazine from 1995 which featured a number of cartoons, one immediately caught my attention (See below). It just shows how easily you can go of on a tangent from the smallest thing. And no it isn’t Z.

I was drawn to the Dear Editor bit as well.
I wonder if there was a Zodiac font back then? :D

Newspapers always said to address letters to "The Editor".

The Zodiac case is the mother of all rabbit holes.

Out of curiosity, who is the illustrator?

I can see what looks like ‘Leasbie’ as the text up the right edging.
Mind you, my laptop is that old its still running win7 so I can’t get the resolution any better.
(I’ve also noticed my screen has beer stains on it now I’ve turned the brightness up.)

Regarding the mother of all rabbit holes Cat- I agree. Luckily, I love my rabbit holes as they are filled with other puzzles I love exploring, so I get to switch about for changes of scenery. I get joy out of learning along the way, so a part of me hopes I’m never right. When I think I’m on the right track- I become my fiercest challenger to try and argue against what I see, as I guess I’d miss the pursuit down the holes if the true solutions were ever found.

So, if Zodiac is or isn’t solved I’m equally balanced, as I wouldn’t let it frustrate me if I find I’m suddenly inside the wrong hole. (No pun intended!)
It comes with the territory of being over empathetic and trying to see both sides of the coin all of the time, I think. And in some regards, that makes me one of the poorest argue-mentalists in the world!
