“Listen up. I know the shit you’ve been saying behind my back. You think I’m stupid. You think I’m immature. You think I’m a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans, and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg.”

Nightly News Anchor isn’t the usual route to comedy stardom, but it’s working for you, Mr. Williams.

Some aimless wandering brought me to this transcription of newspaper articles from issues of the long-defunct Brooklyn Daily Standard Union. They all date from the summer of 1887 and are part of a larger transcription project; which I have yet to explore because I’ve been engrossed in reading samples like this:

Hilarious interview with the Mayor of Johannesburg.
