Funny Papers Again Column | A Royal Mess, a Royal Lady and Nonsense

This week’s Funny Papers Again column will not appear in this space. Instead, some other nonsense will appear here. The reason for this is because to present an articulate position in a concise manner on the subject chosen I had to do a little...
