(edit) This episode is the first of five episodes of an arc designed to introduce Mr. Salt and Mrs. Peppers' new baby. (edit) Mailtime Segment: Mailbox shares a new joke he made up with Steve. Steve likes it so much that he decides to put it in "Blue's News." In the letter, a group of schoolkids, two girls and two boys, decide to create a newspaper called "Our News." They fill it with information about their activities, such as athletics, choir and dancing. (edit) The "Skiddoo News" includes visible headlines and even readable text. Sample headlines:

"Skinny pig est un bon participant a le Tour de Skiddoo"

"Sarah Scientist Honor---"

"Felt Friend Travels to Felt Planet"

"---ger bread ...... ---a Parie"
