Thumbs up Back in the tick of nime.

Special thanks to the phantom once again for some excellent work on the second story and the mini-headlines



Alien finds some magic this week!



News on the Barrow Birthday thing...

I've given my brother the story board for another cartoon about the Phantom and Alien and he says it will be relatively easy to put together. I'm going to get the voice of Alien done before I got to hospital and hope that he puts it all together while I'm under the knife. Since the Barrow Birthday is on the Thursday when I may be 'recovering' or whatever, the cartoon may not be posted until the Friday, so I hope you peoples are okay with that. I'm hoping they let me 'recover' at home. If that is the case, then posting it won't be a problem.

Yum, a magical sandwich. That was probably one of my favourite P&As.

Also, good luck with the surgery.

Haha, after Lommy stuck her head in that cannon I said to her, "Now I'm sure Hookbill will come up with a lovely story to go along with that picture in the Downer."
Her response: Oh no....

Oh, and a comment about one of the previous week's sub-headlines:

Best wishes, Hookbill. I must say, you're being very brave about this operation-thing. The one time I had (extremely minor) surgery, I was a total wimp.

Yes, best of luck, Hookbill. Tell the operators that they have to do everything perfectly. I mean- surely they understand how important The Downer is to the world. They wouldn't dare to damage its publisher/ editor/ chief writer/ lead reporter/ owner/ printer!

Oh, and Nerwen- rumor has it that you will be featured in an article here in a week or two.

There really is only one thing going through my mind about it...

Oh come now, Hookbill, don't be so pessimistic! Even the worst surgeons known to humankind will be experts compared to Alien.

Thumbs up Urpdoyt

I went to the hospital for a 'pre-op' thingy-me-bob and got some news..
They say that the whole thing will be over very quickly; I'll go into the hospital on Tuesday and wait until I go to theatre either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. I will very likely be able to go home on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.
Why am I telling you this?
Because the NEW Phantom and Alien cartoon is set for release on Thursday (the Barrow Birthday) and I want to be here to post it. Although, if things go wrong, I may ask my brother to post it up in some way or another. I don't know.

So, that's the long and short o' it. Risk of death 0.02%, risk of annoyance 97.3%
