Dear John
you are dark character, constantly pursued by a floating skull in a grainy photo that is the only way that we (the readers) can know you. You soundtrack your life with a selection of very carefully chosen "indie" records by the likes of Jacob's Crumbhammer (Canadian post-rock par excellence) and C86 favourites The Ironing Boards. You let the back of your iPod get all scratched so you wouldn't have to accidentally catch your own gaze. Sometimes you think about a girl you knew and draw her name in a biro tattoo under a unicorn on your arm. John, why is your favourite website Popjustice?
Kind regards

Dear Readers,
These are all very good questions. I don't have any answers.
Now we dance the dance of the cannibal monkeys.
Yours in high fidelity,
John Allison

Appearances (and general musical tastes) can be deceptive.
I know a bloke who is like the male equivalent of Dark Esther; he likes the rock. He dresses darkly and wears a dark beard. He has a vast collection of Fear Factory t-shirts. So why does he go wild with glee when a wedding reception DJ plays a record by Boney M?
Dear JohnA,
why does SGR not have an RSS feed, but SGRblog does? I guess perhaps blogger handles it for you. Nevertheless: a comic RSS feed would be nice.
Sincerely,
Some Quarrelsome Nerd-o
I only use my computer for running my empire, and could no more make an RSS feed than I could seize the moon from the sky and put it on a pole in the back yard. I'm sorry that I'm not a "nerd" but life is short and I am busy!
Hey, I already did that to the moon.
Dear John Allison,
Despite all your odd habits and peculiar actions and funny quirks, we love you anyway because you allow us to forget that we don't actuall exist, and let us hang out with odd people with funny ways of talkin'.
Yours for a bit,
Your Readers
