There used to be a "weakly" paper in West Virginia . . .
called the West Virginia Hillbilly, published by a real character named Jim Comstock, a native of Richwood. To promote the ramp festival one year, he published the local newspaper with ramp juice included in the printer's ink. To quote Goldenseal Magazine:
According to Comstock, "We got a reprimand from the Postmaster General ... And we are probably the only paper in the United States that's under oath to the federal government not to smell bad".
