    Where is the Angry Poodle?!

    Each week I search the pages of The Independent for my dose of the perfectly spiced, medium-rare mix of awareness, sarcasm, and anger that is the Barbecue.

    Jerry Roberts is brilliant but not angry enough. Brantingham is insightful, but far too contented. Gay Girl is occasionally angry, but not consistently.

    Was he too angry? “This Modern World” is far angrier than the Poodle. It doesn't work for me though because there is no local content, and it is over too quickly.

    Please explain. I miss the Poodle. — Carmen Reid

    Nick Welsh responds: The Poodle has made tentative plans to return to Planet Earth next week, at which point the column will recommence.

    We have been missing the Angry Bark, and hope soon at least to read the barking if not also soon hear some actual barking too.
