Our First Story is Live
MAHOMET, ILLINOIS • LOCAL SATIRE. VERY SERIOUS NONSENSE.
SATIRE • FIRST EDITION
Charles Weekly has arrived from out of town with a notebook, strong opinions, and a remarkably flexible definition of “reporting.” Mahomet may never have asked for this. He came anyway.
Charles Weekly is a fictional writer persona. This introduction is satire.
Fictional stories inspired by small-town life
Neighborhood observations, overheard absurdities, and very small matters treated with enormous importance.
Fictional dispatches from the universal adventures of school life. No actual student or staff story is being reported.
Illinois-sized absurdities, imaginary statehouse dispatches, and matters of exaggerated statewide importance.
ALL FICTION. ALL IN GOOD HUMOR.
This entire publication is satire, including its opinion columns. Nothing in this section should be read as factual reporting.
Our fictional out-of-town correspondent is preparing his first column. Expect confident conclusions, unnecessary footnotes, and a deep commitment to the phrase “real news.”
First column coming soon • Charles Weekly is a fictional persona.
