Editing Weekly World News (section)

==Columns and features==
Regular columns included [[Ed Anger]] (opinion), first Dear Babs and later Dear Dotti (outspoken advice columnists), Hi Dolly (relationship advice), Horse Sense (medical advice), Monkey Business (financial and business-related advice and information) and Madame Malisa ([[psychic]]). The most famous of these was Ed Anger, a character created in 1979 by staffer Rafe Klinger; Anger was a perpetually angry conservative (a typical column began "I'm pig-biting mad!"), who railed against illegal immigrants, women, speed limits and rainforests, among many other perceived ills.<ref name="tabloid eaten" />

Beginning on May 9, 2005, the ''Weekly World News'' went "All New" along with other tabloid papers such as the [[National Enquirer]], which had become "Bigger⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠Bolder⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠Better." In the new ''Weekly World News'', Serena and Sonya Sabak's [[psychic]] column was replaced by the horoscopes of Madame Malisa, and Dotti Primrose's "Dear Dotti" was supplanted by an advice column called "Hi Dolly" written by a middle-aged Southern blonde woman. The new ''WWN'' included a weekly "Weird Picture Search" by ''[[Mad (magazine)|Mad]]'' cartoonist [[Sergio Aragonés]]. Other features included Trivia, Test Yourself, Jokes, and "Miss Adventure", a.k.a. "The Gayest American Hero", who has penetrated the [[American Mafia|mob]], gone to [[Cinema of the United States|Hollywood]], and fought [[DRAG-U-LA]] traveling from the depths of the Earth's center to outer space.

Two pages of comic strips were spun off from feature stories. For two years, in 2004 and 2005, [[Peter Bagge]] created a Bat Boy comic "using celebrities and current events and creating totally absurd and implausible stories and situations for them."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/bagge-talks-hate-yeah-and-bat-boy/|title=Bagge Talks "Hate," "Yeah!" and Bat Boy|date=12 May 2011}}</ref> In 2011, IDW Publishing released a hardcover collection of Bagge's strips.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bagge |first1=Peter |title=Bat Boy: The Weekly World News Comic Strips by Peter Bagge |date=May 17, 2011 |publisher=IDW Publishing |isbn=978-1600108969 |pages=104}}</ref> "SpyCat", created by Dick Siegel, was drawn by [[Ernie Colón]]. SpyCat spoke nine different languages ranging from Persian to "dog" and was armed with "[[Adamantium|Adamwestium]]" claws and deadly cat-of-nine-tails. He wrote free-form poetry when not waging war on America's enemies—at home and abroad. "Matthew Daemon", also created by Dick Siegel, was written and illustrated by [[Mike Collins (comics)|Mike Collins]] and was a spinoff from the "SOS Matthew Daemon (Seeker of Obscure Supernaturals)" feature. Daemon's lair was located beneath [[Grant's Tomb]]. Daemon specialized in B-List Monster hunting. "Alien Baby" by Craig Boldman chronicled the adventures of Moogera the deadbeat alien dad, alien baby Ethan, and Stacy, his Earth-born mother.

Though it mainly featured offbeat stories, it also featured legitimate games and quizzes such as crossword puzzles, a segment called "Bedside Manner" where readers choose which celebrity is best suited for the featured celebrity and "Mystery Eyes" which featured photographs of five pairs of eyes which belonged to celebrities and readers have to guess who they are.
