You can tell a lot about people by their sense of humour. Has this been mentioned before? Personally, I think the book was a double bluff, but it's hilarious, and perhaps food for thought. I can't say much more, due to the need to protect my suspect (until charged). And of course, as always, my bum may be oot the winday. Far out. 'The Principia describes the Discordian Society and its Goddess Eris, as well as the basics of the POEE denomination of Discordianism. It features typewritten and handwritten text intermixed with clip art, stamps, and seals appropriated from other sources.' In Zodiac's communications, I believe every ink tadpole, dot, arc and even the stamps, are clews. The word 'clew' is in fact his biggest clue of all. (It's the ball of thread you need to escape the Minotaur.) I think he had a high time implicating all his co-conspirators. And he wanted to be caught. To me, the case is all about the fight against the 60s Counter Culture. Sorry if this has been posted before. I can't find it. Take a look. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Discordia

An interesting reference given,there.Indeed,''perception'' can ''persuade'' [?].
Zodiac,as a writer of letters,bought in to the popular notion that the pomposity and grandiose aspects of the accepted ''British Stereotype '' would be the most persuasively ''sinister ''.Luminaries of the theater,like Alfred Hitchcock and Vincent Price,had effectively,confirmed this by their popularity in the past.
Perhaps Zodiac's most memorable line : ''This is the Zodiac speaking '' demands attention,declared with authority and gravitas [?].But where did it come from ?
Growing up as an English schoolkid,raised in the outbacks of West Africa,my only real contact with the outside world was daily radio doses of The BBC World Service.Every hour,on the hour was the news.It was always introduced thus :
''This is the World Service of the BBC in London - here is the news.''
Hearing it so often,it leaves an indelible mark on one's memory,that can never be erased.I am only one of literally thousands,that share this.So,Zodiac's letter introductions certainly ring a bell,there.
One is persuaded that Zodiac was a regular listener to the BBC's overseas radio service,and therefore,more than likely to have been a regular ex-patriot worker [?].
The fact that the serious content of Zodiac's letter's would descend into ''witty banter'',in the form of ''cat calling the cops''and pathetic gallows humor,detracts from the fact that he had already secured your attention,just as a crocodile hypnotizes its victims.
''I am crackproof '' [?] - hopefully wrong [?].
A ''crackpot '' - he most certainly was.

Thinking about the Zodiac killer’s witty banter...
Count Marco had a witty banter that may have attracted the Zodiac killer.
Maybe the Zodiac killer liked Count Marco because they had a similar sense of humor.
Later Count Marco could have done something that offended the Zodiac killer which prompted the Zodiac killer to send the letter signed by “the Red Phantom” threatening Count Marco.
Who else had the same type of witty banter?

''He's reading the funny papers,already'' - as ''Mikey'' told his father,about Don Corleone's infant grandson,Michael,in The Godfather.
I suspect,and believe that Zodiac was a voracious consumer of ''Daily rags'' - probably all the way from childhood,graduating from comic publications [?].
Yes,it does seem likely that Zodiac enjoyed the Count Marco columns.Zodiac appears to have enjoyed impressing on us that he appreciated literary irony - so it is a sign of weakness that he elected to threaten Count Marco.He effectively did the same to Paul Avery,but Mr.Avery would never have had a good word to say about Zodiac,anyway.
''Amuse my bright mind - but never upset me !'' - classic psychopathic philosophy from Zodiac [?].
