Tomorrow sees the launch of the Sunday edition of The Sun, Britain's biggest-selling right-wing scaremonger. Here, we have an exclusive preview of this historic, um, thing.
To avoid claims of right-wing bigotry, in the centre pages you'll find a copy of socialist newspaper The Morning Star. It's a bit like a politically unstable Whizzer & Chips. To add to the fun, contributors of the rival newspapers will 'raid' the other, just like Sid's Snake and Shiner used to do.
To help the smooth transition, old favourites are on hand. Sort of. For example, here's new resident astrologer, Mystic Beks:

| Who is this mysterious woman? |
And, of course, there's Hagar the Horrible. But, in a special clause, News International are given free reign to localise it to suit their British audience:
The Sun on Sunday: evil incarnate, now seven days a week.
(Seriously, please don't be fooled into thinking that tomorrow's newspaper is a collector's item, just as the News of the Screws's final issue wasn't. Yet people still bought it. Do not help this man and his vile rag succeed. I thank you.)
