Mr. the Goomba, I'm curious as to what's happening in the background of this comic.

Look at the end of the previous comic and see if you can guess.

Well, The fake-Phantom, anyway.

By the way, nice job with the happy bunny road, Hookbill! I actually think I've been there.

My compliments to the latest edition of The Downer! But I got a bit worried on Sunday when it didn't come out, I was a bit afraid that something happened to Hookbill and that's why there was no news!

I had to get up early the next morning (7:00 in the morning IS early, considering I had regularly been sleeping until 10 at least for most of the summer), so I couldn't post it at midnight as usual. 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.

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.

Boots Random Titles get caught with lots of candy
I love the expressions in the last panel.....of the second to newest P & A. I'm so behind now...silly course load.

When I first saw the headline...I thought it was accusing me of a spelling error. Really, that's a rather cruel thing to say to a Creative Writing major. I nearly dropped my Reese's Pieces.

Death by Pick Axe? Does that mean I've died twice? Have I been "re-killed" as it were? Anyway, death by misinformed dwarves has to be expected; at least Groin's axe was shiny enough to hold my attention.

And now that I've finished this post, I'll shall feast upon peanut butter and chocolate candy.
