Should be no trouble this week. And, considering my new Time Table, for any future Downers for the next semester.

You may be wondering why I do this every week... You know what... So was I...

the phantom's work continues to be good. Give him compliments.



Purple Pete is one of my favorite characters from the new serise. I hope you like him too.

This is one of those Downer articles that you absolutely out did yourself on, Hookbill! I enjoyed this weeks Downer so much, everything from the headline to the comic, perfect job!

I thought that the picture of Lommy's fat sister as an oversized penguin was a stroke of genius!

He never went to school.

Ask Lommy. I think she beats up all the people who make that joke. That's where the phantom has been these last few days; in Lommy's basement being battered with a cricket bat.

Happens a lot in The Downer, I'm afraid.

He's supposed to be a sort of secretary for the Oat Factory. Lal and Alien are there to see his boss. Sorry if that's not too clear.
