Mister Shankly

Mr Shankly, real name Josh, is primarily involved in the writing side of Neopets. His duties have included being editor of Neopian Times up until issue 75 (when Snowflake took over), the Storytelling contest and writing Neopedia articles. He has also taken in Staff Plots, such as the Ski Lodge Murder Mystery.

Josh takes the psedynom Mr Shankly from a a Smiths song entitled "Frankly, Mr Shankly". He shows his Smiths/ Morrissey fandom through his quiff and glasses, his desire for a quiff paint brush, and by leaving small marks in his writing; he captioned a picture in his Neopedia entry on the bendy desk lamp with "there is a light that never goes out..." - the title of another Smiths] song.

Mr Shankly also has a love of dung, and many of the submissions to the his final Neopian Times were about dung as a parting gift.
