It’s official. The Vermont Sec. of State has a page of Champ info, with the above exact match for how the Lake Monster looks, and it is even up-to-date with the Olsen video incident.

Dave Lowe shares a new timely ‘toon or three.

Meanwhile, The Buffalo News makes an attempt at a wee bit of Champ humor on Saturday, June 13th:

It seems there have been two sightings of “Champ,” the Loch Ness Monster’s cousin who lives in Lake Champlain, in the past several days. One led to a blurry YouTube video from Vermont, the other to an excited but pictureless description of a creature that “had to be 50 feet long, from what I could see of the humps,” in the words of one witness.

The creature, though, was seen only by the three guys fishing on the south side of a Plattsburgh-area dock, and not by several fishing on the north side. Which just goes to show, for something this serious you should always get an opinion from a second dock.
