“Dadders, We Are Off the Rails!”

Kid devours multiple “cone snacks” in furious, unbridled snackathon; exhausted parents relent

The Daily Kina

We are in fact completely off the rails of the Grand Snack Railroad, and our little locomotive driver is dragging us headlong towards Sugar Valley. Having said that, if you can find the little ice cream cone cookies shown in today’s edition at your local Japanese market, you, too, can be derailed by their crispy deliciousness.

On another topic entirely: You may have noticed that Kina has taken a greater interest in producing the masthead and various illustrations lately. I was really impressed by her realistic depiction of my hairy armpits and her own, stunned face at the bottom of the page. I hope you are as well, because I expect you will be seeing more of it. Her drawings, not my underarms, I mean.
