"
And he keeps screaming, I'm the Zodiac. Which wastes so much time when you're trying to make a newspaper about violence.
Also, so here's some things that tie him to the case. So Wednesdays was production day for Good Times, which is a weekly newspaper. I'm sorry, but now that it's sitting with me, I kind of love the title, Good Times.
And there's in a lot of the Zodiac letters, they reference and quote that same play.
I believe it might be Gilbert and Sullivan, The Mikado.
