Just writing to try to quell the unrest weve been hearing in our ranks at the addition of the Joker to our roster of contributors. First, I want to say that you are all valued not just seen but also heard, unlike a child in the Victorian era. We appreciate the years youve put in and the sacrifices youve made for this organization. Please dont be mad we hired the Joker! Its stressing us out.
Gotham is going through a trying time. And who better to help us understand whats really at play here than the Clown Prince of Crime? We were looking through our roster, and someone on our board asked, Are any of the contributors not just clowns but also criminals? and we were forced to admit that, no, in fact, we had no one whatsoever from that demographic. Seems like an oversight, the board said, and we agreed.
