Dear Mr. (Nearly) Infamous Zango,

How would you describe your working relationship with your handler Rob Osborne? Is he always making you do things you don’t want to do, like go to book signings, being a guest speaker at a villian convention when you would rather just sit at home watching TV? Or is it the opposite where he’s there to hold you back from all of your wild and crazy antics?

And are there any problems with having an attack-gorilla that you didn’t know about before you decided to have one? Bad odor? Expensive to feed?

Swearing my Undying Fealty,
Robert

Dear Mr. (Nearly) Infamous Zango,

Every night some hooligans in my neighborhood throw rocks at cars. I’ve had two windows broken already! If it weren’t for the fact that I drive an 82 Rabbit, I’d fear my car would be ransacked as well. What would you do to stop this rash of absurdity?

Also, they ring my door bell at 2am. Make it stop!

Sincerely,
Borderline Psychotic in Boston

Dear Mr. (Nearly) Infamous Zango,

My husband and I have been married for 15 years, but lately it seems like we hardly even know each other anymore. He’s been spending a lot more time than usual in his secret laboratory, and recently he genetically engineered a new assistant, a super-intelligent chimpanzee who he calls JoJo. He says she’s just his helper, but he keeps coming home later and later, and yesterday I could smell her perfume on him, and his hair was messier than usual (almost as if someone had been “grooming” him). Am I crazy for thinking there’s something going on here? How can I confront him about this without driving him away further?

Zango rocks.

He reminds me of “The Monarch” from “The Venture Brothers”.

Did you crib from TVB? Did they crib from you?

...or was this a case of totally awesome parallel inspiration?

Dear Mr. (Nearly) Infamous Zango,

What T.V. show satiates a mind such as yours? Are there any that could even hope to hold your attention?

Dear Mr. (Nearly) Infamous Zango,

What are your fondest memories from the height of your villany? Was there a certain do-gooder that got under your skin? What was your favorite way to get them to wish they had never been born?

Dear Mr. (Nearly) Infamous Zango,

Do you feel that, as a villain, you get more chicks than the goodie-two-shoes of the world? Cause I’d kill to get some action.

I, LT COLONEL JUSTICE, have a question for you!

Your evil must end! The reign of terror you have brought to this fair city is intolerable, and you must be stopped! With the aid of my trusty teenaged sidekick, PERCY, I will defeat your android army! My question to you, Iron Ox, is …

What do you mean this isn’t Iron Ox? Zango? (Nearly) Infamous Zango …

Zango …. I KNOW I’ve heard that name from somewhere … Zango …. AHA!

You’re the one with the lisp, aren’t you?

Your daughter is HOT! Is she single?
