Hm...in the last pannel of of the P & A, it seems as if Morsul is muttering dark curses, causing the wall paper to peal. It's too bad, that wall paper is pretty.

Sounds likely that Nilp was also in on the conspiracy some years back that saw an official Rhinoceros Party aspire to elect a Member not only to the Quebec provincial legature but to the federal Parleyment of Canada. As I recall, however, things didn't get as nasty as they did this time. The only thing that died was the dignity of the Canadain electoral process.

May I suggest one of your intrepid writers do some of your stellar historical research on that for future Downer news stories?--all in the interests of increasing Rhino appreciation on the Downs, of course.

I love the headline with Nilp leading the Rhinos to the children. It's very Downerish: very misleading!

I love that little mentioning of Hobbits bombing Bree! I almost died laughing!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Dear Sires:

I was saddened to read your article, "Huan Chases Own Tail", and the news of the famous pup's death in a tragic pique of self-cannibalization (which gives new meaning to the phrase 'dog chow'). I must say its a dog-eat-dog world, but such celebrity deaths are becoming so commonplace, particularly the way stars are hounded by the paparazzi. They say every dog has its day, but once a pack of reporters are unleashed and catch the scent of a story, they sink their canines in and doggedly follow a celebrity around. Then their life isn't worth a dam. I don't mean to bitch, but these curs from the tabloids have to be curbed -- perhaps paper-trained in the correct ethics of journalism.

I am not trying to ruffle any fur, and I am not putting your fine publication in the doghouse with the mongrel tabloids; but when a pure-bred champion such as Huan is forced to heel like he aint nothin' but a hound dawg (cryin' all the time), and then sadly wolfs himself down because no one would throw him a bone, we have every right to howl. We must show them that our bark is not worse than our bite.

Those children stole my sandwich. My beautiful, wonderful sandwich. They had it coming.

However, I had nothing to do with anything Canadian. Must be Adam's doing, Bb.

Evil, evil, evil you are, Nilp, they're kids!! You can always get another sandwich, every other 7-11 store or Mini Stop has a nice array of sandwiches.

Wow. That P and A reminds me of my old backpack, my mom said it walked out of my room all by itself...

What does this have to do with the newspaper? Absolutely nothing!
