Both.

I was just looking at the next P&A I'm to upload... I REALLY hope Morm isn't offended or disgusted by it...

I think Esty would have greater fun going after Hell Brueghel, given his taste for the warty and weird, but she still faces the ineffable problem we all face: Which Bruegel is a Bruegel?

Not too long until the 31st!

Hey Esty, you can go ahead and keep those warts, I really have no use for them. Let's just hope that Aganzir won't have to kiss me (that really was gross Hookbill).

Tsk tsk, you called it upon yourself.

Funny paper, Hookbill. Especially the wart article & penguin-related mini headline.

Thumbs up Week 121

Ignoring the Downs' clock because it's WRONG. Here is this week's Newspaper.
The second story was by Formendacil. Thanks and gold go to him. The mini headlines were by the phantom. A dustbin full of beaks go to him.



This week, The Phantom is sworn in to The Hoody Cloaky Group. The swearing in involved an awful lot of swearing, I can tell you. We were told that the episode was not fit for showing, hence, this one is a few hours after last Monday's episode. Still, that old plot s getting nice and thick. Like a pudding in a dog's stomach.

The Downer is still open to any submissions you want to make. Want to get your story in 'print'? Just PM it to me and I'll throw it in. As long as it's not dreadfully offensive. Nothing about the BWH's recent *cough* toilet troubles. We promised him we wouldn't mention the terrible mess he made.

TheGreatElvenWarrior has been trapped in the Barrow!
"My crisps are all gone."

That is exactly how I felt during lunchtime today! And tonight! Lauri and I were watching the rest of season three (of Doctor Who, that is), and we ran out of crisps way before we finished watching it! AND NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH TO SEE THE NEXT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Put in place by Laurinque after the post was alredy done) -You know, I have a real name....... It's Laurinque. NOT Lauri!

Thumbs up

Apologies in advance. I know it's earlier than usual and the quality and alignment is probably off here and there. But I only got home a few hours ago and had to make this. I'm also feeling ill and am going to bed so won't be able to post this up at midnight as I usually do.

For the first time a while, I had to do this all by myself.



The Phantom learns where the Hoody-cloaky people meet. I am well aware of the spelling mistake in the last panel...
