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

Digestion station!
The full extent of Alien's obscene acts is revealed! Or rather, made slightly more disturbing. Just like the over all plot!
 On Monday, we check in with every one's favorite phantom... The Phantom!

I wonder where he'd go to get that, definitely not Wal-Mart or K-Mart, something very special is all I can say.
Also, for those who couldn't read the small print on the scroll it says: "Fish Man will soon be ready to take over the Barrow Downs."

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.  Comic Archive 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.

Ewwww.
The miniheadlines made me crack up. And the Finland Four. Should I also replace my blood with beer? Would phantom love me more?

Random Titles deny their existence
Seconded, I love that theme. Good thing I'm a "person" not a "people."
As for the articles...of course Oxonmoot doesn't exist. It's a conspiracy really, to make poor people (er...persons) like me envious of those Europeans and their lovely accents. *sniff*

I quite agree with Morai. There is absolutely no evidence that Oxonmoot actually occurs. We all know how good Hookbill is with photo-shop.
If these Europeans really want to convince us that Oxonmoot is real, then they should buy all of us North Americans plane tickets to England! And, as final proof, put us up an five star hotels. As for The Sandwich and Lettuce Appreciation Society, where I can I acquire an application to join? |

Excellent job on the Phantom and alien articles. Though I must say that Aganzir's alien rendition scared me.
The Bread People? Does that have anything to do with my cousin Groin Breadbeard?

"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!

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...  Comic Archive

Ha, I actually liked this one a lot. It is once again the classic kind of The Downer, which is quite refreshing. *whispers to everybody except for the phantom*: "It was about time."
By the way: more than any spelling mistakes (to which I am lately used from everywhere ), I am most intrigued by Phantom's expression in the second picture. Impressive. Most impressive.And hoping you are going to feel better soon, Hookiee. (Whoever guesses from this post what kind of SF I have been messing with lately, wins a tart made of apples and liquid hydrogen. Results may vary.)

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To whom it may concern: I am just dropping a line to commend a superlative article in the most recent 'Downer, entitled ''Panic as Burning Bloke Enters Playground" by E. D. Derek. It was the type of iconoclastic piece that shatters the apathetically lethargic mood that currently holds our society in thrall by subtley skewering newspapers' outmoded habits of attempting to report news in a factual manner, using grammar and punctuation, or trying to make sense. The article had none of this folderol -- how refreshing! Or to put things in context, as Mr. Derek said, "Lah lah foo foo, mongoose on toast." Brilliant! It was rather like James Joyce and ee cummings had bumped uglies on the editor's desk, right atop the galleys for the latest edition of the paper (I guess one would call it a news leak). It was bold! It was masterful! I couldn't understand a word of it! I was so excited, I went right out and set fire to my garage as a beacon for the whole world to see. Unfortunately, the fire spread to several of my neighbor's houses, and I have been arrested for arson. But that doesn't matter, because a literary luminary has this day been born! I had tried to share my joy with other cellmates, but they seem put off by my ardor, and they have asked the guards that I be removed and put into solitary confinement. In closing, I can only say that the cell in solitary has 14,364 colored dots on the floor and each speaks in one or another dialect current in 18th century B.C. (I enjoyed the 'Hammurabi and the whore of Bablyon' jokes at first, but the Amorites are rather crude, and it is not at all mannerly that they keep mentioning the need for blood sacrifice to the goddess Ishtar). Sincerely, Ibin Suffrin DuLac-O'Sense Chairman, Lard and Sugar Refineries Board Chicago, Ill

The second story is my favourite! I do like the hiding place for the Hoody-Cloaky group!
By the way, I hope you get better soon, Hookbilly!

AAAAGGGHHH!!! Sorry, many things happened today and I almost forgot about P&A. This week, Alien puts his liking of explosives and eating things together. GREAT!

I had a thought. If you could find an old green sock and some of those packets of 'eyes' that you buy in craft shops, you could make an Alien puppet to frighten errr....kids and old ladies with.
