Good news, gang! I finally saved up enough money to print my 300-page fiction novella entitled, "Humphrey Lansdowne: Duck Detective". It's about a talking duck who solves crimes for the local police force. I don't want to give the story away, but in the climax, the chief of police asks Humphrey, "Hey, the mayor's daughter has been kidnapped and being held ransom -- what can you tell us?" Humphrey leans back in his chair and replies, "Oh, you stupid human, did you check the mayor's trunk?" The chief of police opens the mayor's trunk and, lo and behold, there's his daughter -- turns out the mayor was just trying to get the money for himself! The chief of police then slaps the handcuffs on the mayor. That's when Humphrey waddles up to the mayor and says, "Hey, mayor, you can't duck the law!" Humphrey then turns to the chief of police and winks as if to say, "You didn't think a duck could solve such a huge crime, but then through a humbling process of mutual understanding, you realized that ducks are a valuable member of society and, maybe if I gave them a chance, perhaps they could help me not only professionally, but personally as well." In the end, I hope Humphrey Lansdowne does for ducks what Lassie did for the dog community.

Well, anyways, unfortunately I can only afford to print one copy of "Humphrey Lansdowne: Duck Detective", but I think it'll be worth it.

Until next time,

Max
