Something has been nagging at the back of my mind about this article. Let me float this and see if general consensus is that I'm simply off my rocker. Maybe it has been pointed out elsewhere and I have just missed it, but here goes. Mods, as always, feel free to move or delete as needed. For those of us who have Cook's Pacific Consort, do you remember the article that gave examples of language to use regarding intimate activities, in a manner suitable to be used before those of a more sensitive disposition? And yet, in this article, flat out uses the terms ballock and quim? Really? Quim? That's the C word of the times, back in the day, unless I'm mistaken. Granted, according to The Curator, there is The Editor taking the reins for the time being, and that could account for the changes in mood, theme, and the general feel of this publication. However, given the sheer amount of allusions to Spring bringing an ill wind of unwelcome changes (emails from the Curator, the Message from the Curator in this C&C and The number of references to Alchemy - the historical Zosimus was an alchemist chasing a grand work of what we could consider biomedical resuscitation of the dead and the number of call backs to transformation (werewolves, Jeckyl & Hyde, Lottie McModdy) or at the very least some manner of polar opposite personalities in one person ...and some of the puzzles that have been answered, I am left to wonder if This edition is an instance of an unreliable narrator writing "in the style" of previous issues to keep up the ruse that all is well; when in fact, The Curator has gone on the lam and is hiding (he mentioned revisiting ruins and the Nio, so, Louisiana? A Buddhist temple?), and C&C has been infiltrated by SZ. And if the above spoiler is correct, should any info from "the powers that be" via Snapchat be taken at face value? This has been your dose of meta-arc conspiracy theory, brought to you by a very tired me. Thoughts? Ideas? Counter arguments?

I'd say that you make a whole lot of sense...I'm a huge fan of a meta-arc conspiracy theory and THIS is a very good one. Those very "salty" terms jumped right out at me as something that indicated there are bigger themes afoot...

I just added a few of you (in case you get friend requests from ebyrdstarr, you'll see my Snapchat profile is the Jeanne D'arc magazine cover shot.) I added Andrew and Cedarian too.

Ive thought that for awhile now. The editor page showing a SZ member being killed and published in "good faith" . Andrew seems to have been poisoned, needing a cure. The curators "final message". The editor I believe is our nemesis. The info we could be receiving could be mixed between SZ messages and Andrew. Or this issue only could be the most positive messages we recive and future messages being more and more of the SZ I couldnt put things together as well as you but those are my senses as well. Now on to prove it! Has anyone been accepted as a friend from Andrew or Cedarian

This is a very strong and interesting theory. For sometime I felt, we were just diggig deeper and deeper into cluemania, without really getting somewhere, since so many things could belinked, or linked differently. Maybe the /C/-theme is linked tho the corrupted C&C while the other clues are /a/ndrews?! but this is still in need of some proof. PS: guide-to-yesterday still pending (Somehow I am not so sure anymore, that the accounts are the ones we are looking for. I mean, there are quite a few people called this on the net; they could have a guide-to-yesterday-account as well..) PPS: I think,this theory deserves a thread of its own! Can some mod move this?

For example, in a recent missive he misspelled INQUIRY and spelled it ENQUIRY. which is rather odd, for the curator.

Canada follows the British lead in this regard. In the U.K, an enquiry is a question but an inquiry denotes an investigation (usually an official one).

"Under the assumption that nothing in this newspaper should be assumed to be purely for comedic value," Actually, at least in previous volumes, much of the content of C&C was there merely for amusement or comedic value. Not everything in the issues is "relevant" in the sense of being part of an overarching story, or containing some secret message or puzzle. A lot of the articles and so forth are there simply as interesting and diverting reading material, and have no further importance or significance. There may be a "theme" to the issue (for example, one issue had several articles relating to extraterrestrials and alien abductions; another focused largely on apocalyptic stories), but most of the articles have no deeper meaning. In fact, one could almost say that part of the puzzle of C&C is figuring out what requires further scrutiny and what is there just for fun. Now, granted, they have changed their format somewhat, and it could be that with this new Volume, they are starting a new habit of making every single thing relevant. Certainly, if something ends up coming of this, that would be very interesting, and I would definitely admit to being mistaken. However, my own gut sense is that this article (and probably many of the others) are there simply for amusement. The next chapter should give us a better sense, though.

I do not believe andrew is poisoned I think more it has to do with him being in hiding a majority of his adult life can lead to someone having severe mood changes.

It seems to be a reference to gentlemanly behavior and fashion in Houyhnhnm Land. The title also seems to be a reference to "Short and Sweet" and "Kick" (nevermore). Are these puzzles connected in some way?
