LUPO for June 2020 is now on the table. It has reached its fiftieth plumper if not bumper issue in rather difficult and strange times, but this has not deterred the customary merry band of Spherean contributors , namely Marcus Bales, Melissa Balmain, Damian Balassone, Jerome Betts, Martin Elster, Sylvia Fairley, Max Goodman, Chris O’Carroll, Martin Parker, Leslie Mansour and Ed Shacklee, plus new members Bruce McGuffin. David Alpaugh, Janice Canerdy, Barbara Lydecker Crane, Mel Goldberg, and Julia Griffin. Their topics include cakes, cows and sea-cows, dogs, double titles, first lines, the Fonz, Grimm Tales, Llandudno goats, manners, Poe, quantum belief and water bears. And for those who can’t get enough of the c-word there is a special C*v*d Corner as well as three assortments of short observations.

Super issue, Jerome! Congrats on the big 5-0--and on taking the issue live when the rest of us need a laugh even more than usual.

[Jerome Betts]

Thanks for this, Melissa, as well as for your contribution among the others from Sphere members


I'll also take the opportunity to draw attention to changes and clarifications to LUPO's submission guidelines, beginning with the current issue.

It's always a joy to see a new LUPO!
