Dear Mum and Dad,

Please please PLEEEEZ don’t be so grrrish. It’s not fair Dad keeps saying, “GET A MOVE ON LAZYBONES, OPEN YOUR SCHOOL QUICK.” Just because he has fangache, I bet, boo shame. Today I will do news 1st, then cheery pics for him after.

Yeller and me and Stubbs are trying and trying. Paws crossed we open soonly. But did you forget our 1 big problem I told you about before? I will tell you wunce more. It is the ghost of Uncle Bigbad. He is fine, in a dead way, but he keeps being orkwood nasty, saying do this and do that or no more haunting from me. Just because he knows we neeeed him for our School Spirit.

Here is a pic of Haunted Hall, the scaryest school in the world (opening soonly):

I am not drawing a pic of Uncle Bigbad. Because 1) he is too crool, and 2) you cannot see ghosts, only after midnight (get it?)

I will draw me and Yeller, my best friend and cuz, instead:

a is just us being normal (Yeller is the loud 1).

b is us dressed up as bossy Heads saying, “No chewing in class,” ect.

Now I will do Stubbs the crowchick:

a is him being all proud of 2 new feathers.

b is him doing looptheloops in his glowmask.

And now just 1 more: a Small Horror of Haunted Hall in his spooksuit. Guess who? Yes, Smellybreff, my baby bruv, going sob sob I want my mummy. (Only joking, he likes it here really.)

Yours cubly,

L Wolf

(son and Co-Head)
