No Crime in Rhymin’ — Summer 2020

artist: Gerald van Honthorst

Is there something in the air?

(Hint: Yes, yes there is)

But never mind that, look here at the shiny listicle of our recently reached milestones:

• Editor Harper’s 50th Anniversary! IRL!
• Congrats to our curated writers: Jane for Irregardless, and John Edward for Soft Shoe Shuffle and Blessing.
• Welcome to our new first-time contributors: Lindsay Brown (#94), Judy Millar (#95), Dayton O'Donnell (#96), Joanna Henderson (#97), Martin Rushton (#98), Praveen Jagwani (#99), Anu Anniah (#100), Liam Heitmann-Ryce (#101), Peter Crowe (#102), Justin Mark DeWolf (#103), Caroline McQuade (#104)
• Our National Day tradition continues thanks to our dynamic duo of Laura + Harper, with Elevators, Klutzes, Tattoos, UFOs.
• I’ve said it before: there is more to funny rhymin’ than limericks, but we had a notable surge in that sub-genre these past few weeks.

Here’s everything we’ve published these past months, since NCiR’ turned One on the 25th of May:
