Ladies and gentlewights,

Sorry it's a bit late, but here, at last, to celebrate the Barrow Downs Birthday, is another Phantom and Alien cartoon:

THE PHANTOM'S JOB HUNT

Before you click, check out this preview picture fo no reason:



The sound is a bit crackly. Not sure why. We tried everything to fix it.

P&A never fails to make me laugh, and these animations are even funnier than normal.

The interviewer reminds me a lot of davem, Alien sounds exactly like I imagined, Phantom sounds nothing like I imagined, and the visual quality of the cartoon is quite endearing - I especially love how the characters glide. Excellent job, Hookbill.

Yay! That was a great Phantom and Alien! That was a cool film...
And I haven't been on recently so umm...
Those were awesome stories for the past few Downers, they made me laugh so much!

The Interviwer is called 'Mr. Bloke'
Yes, well, my brother did most of the work. He's the animation guy round here. Phantom 'glides' because he's a ghost and Alien is... A big... slimy... thing.
How did you imagine The Phantom to speak? I've always picture him with a British accent, but then again, I'm probably just bias. (I do know that the phantom isn't British, however)

Coming soon:

The John Fillis Action figure. All the Kids will want one.

Quite right- I'm not British.

But oddly enough I've had a British accent since birth. My first word was "Wimbledon". It was quite a shock to my parents, but they soon grew accustomed to it.

And did you have to make me exit via the window, Hookbill? It really hurt.

Fantastic cartoon though!

It would probably be wonderful if he trails slime as he glides slimily.

I have nothing against the British accent, I think it's cool. But I don't know, maybe I imagined a bit deeper voice or something.

Thumbs up As midnight strikes, it's time for week 99!

Yes, we are but a week away from the unexpected, unbelievable, uninteresting and unwanted 100th edition of The Downer Newspaper!

But will The Downer survive the next week? Strange things are afoot. Keep watching this thread for the exciting adventure leading up to next Monday!



This week, The Phantom give us the lowdown...



So, if you have an article, puzzle, poem, film review (pokes Gwathagor and The Elf-Warrior), send them to me before Sunday (that's when I'll be putting the final touches to it). Remember, The Downer was invented with the intention that everyone could join in with news. Post a story on the thread or PM me if you want it on the front page (or inner pages, depending on how much space I have).
