Animalia Magazine: Mega March Edition

added by makutamon 4 years ago O

While usually Animalia Magazine is delivered around the middle of the month, the discovery of the 1968 Daytona Ferrari, Action Comics #1, and the Roman "motel" (the unofficial name for it) in a similar season, it was delayed for a week while things were documented.

---

The cover couple was Patty and Diego, mainly because March was often associated with luck due to St. Patrick's Day. Because of that, and the fact that that Patty was the one who handed out/delivered the prize money, it only made sense that they would be this month's cover couple.

The article that talked about the Roman "motel", called Return to Roma talked mainly about what the Roman bathhouse was doing there, since it was considered the last stop before Hadrian's wall. That was accompanied by a political cartoon of sorts showing what the restored complex would have been like, with a surprisingly modern sign that said "Last stop before the Wall." with tourists from different parts from where the Roman Empire originally spanned reimagined as Roman citizens.

There was also a map in the same article of the dig site, color-coded to show which parts of the dig were the sleeping quarters, the baths, the dining area, etc.. There was also an official artistic reconstruction showing what the Roman bathhouse would have looked like during the second century A.D., and educated guesses on what it was there for. The most accurate guess was that it was a place where roman soldiers could reunite with their families, if only for a little while before being sent back "to the front line".

The second new article talked about both fancy cars and insurance scams involving said cars, since it also featured Annie and Stuart's new Ferrari Daytona. While some of them were some of the more familiar "drive car into the lake on purpose to claim insurance money" scam, others were a bit more surprising.

The main part of the article talked about how the Ferrari ended up on the apartment complex's land, while also poking fun at the fact that most people who bury things in the ground never come back for them, even if they do everything they can to make sure they would remember where they had hidden it.

The third new article talked about the role comic books would have in American society, since one of Lily's great uncle's possessions was a mint condition copy of Action Comics #1. It also talked about some of the more well known heroes, antiheroes, and villains, and which issues, etc. they were found in. It also talked about which companies where famous characters originated were purchased by either DC or Marvel.

There was also information about what was in the "1930's Comic Capsule" as it was now known, and who created it. Eventually, it was revealed that Action Comics #1, still in its Mylar bag, was sold to DC, which treated it like a holy relic. Because of the discovery, it had been decided to add on a comic book convention to the original plan involving Spring-themed carnival games. While it wasn't as big as other comic book conventions, it was still big because it would help Animalia understand important parts of popular culture. There was also a schedule for the Spring Carnival, and a map that showed where certain things were located.

While things were finally ready for spring, the big event for 2019 was the 2nd Biannual International Animalia Convention, so the Spring Carnival was considered a good warm-up.
