"Pearls' Journey Across America" "Hey, Rat...How goes it?...Are you partying like you wanted to?" "No...I never should have gotten off the stupid bus...I should have stayed with you guys." "Where are you?" "Salt Lake City...I mean, the people are very nice and all,* but I can't find a beer to save my life!" "* Hello, good readers of the "Salt Lake Tribune." "Oh, that's too bad...well, if it's any consolation, me and wee bear are staying in some hotel in the middle of nowhere and there's nothing to do here either." "I don't know, but there's a big giant pirate ship and a pyramid and an exploding volcano that just won't let me sleep..." "Oh, and naked dancing girls everywhere...I HATE that." "AAAAHHH!!"
I used to read the SL Tribune. It is a good newspaper. There have(had?) a great political cartoonist named Pat Bagley. It belongs to the same parent company as the “Deseret News,” the Mormon newspaper.
