It usually features color pictures of a key from a keyboard reading "@" and Strong Bad's head in an envelope to the left and right of the text, respectively. Like The Paper, New Paper normally prints out upside-down, and as a result it is somehow losing ink on its leading edge, rather than the trailing edge. |
