Truth to be told, that moustache looked ludicrous. Good riddance!

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-23-2011, 05:14 PM

Come on! There can't be more news, can there? Well, turns out there can!!

Now back to your regularly scheduled Phalian.

COMIC ARCHIVE THING

We've now got a workable cast for the P&A animation! I'm going to put together a story board and take another stab at the script before contacting the actors for the first scene about doing a test!
Hopefully, in a week or two, we'll have something we can look at.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-24-2011, 06:25 AM

The worst thing about Mr. Bliss is that he keeps insisting he's me. I wasn't aware of such failure. He must be... mistaken.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 10-24-2011, 12:47 PM

That Craig has been bothering me for some two-hundred years. I can't believe that anyone would doubt our claims that he will die with our hug. My hugs are the squeeziest.

Galadriel55 · 10-24-2011, 03:16 PM

Who is the third hugger?

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-30-2011, 05:50 PM

Bring your big eyes to the computer screen and feast your face on some news!

I meant to work on the P&A script this weekend but I've been a little under the weather. But, I promise to try and get it done this week! Then I can send it back to our cast and we can start working on some test screenings! Won't that be exciting!?

Blind Guardian · 10-31-2011, 09:04 AM

Apologies if the archive is a bit screwed up at the moment. I'm going to have to sort it out at some point.

In other news, I've redrafted the script for P&A and will soon be sending it off to the cast, and once everyone is happy with it we'll organise a read-through!! Exciting times, people! Exciting times.

Blind Guardian · 11-06-2011, 09:08 PM

I predict that these episodes aren't going to be out by Christmas

Galadriel55 · 11-06-2011, 09:44 PM

OMG first picture!

Bom Tombadillo · 11-13-2011, 07:45 PM

Exprolentarinoquation. That's really all there is to say on the matter.

Also, orange juice isn't magical? NOOOOOOOOOO!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 11-16-2011, 08:50 PM

I am all caught up again on my Downers.

If Davem burnt all Tolkien books of all Downers, I think that we should rise up against him to revenge our poor lost books! Who's with me?!

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-20-2011, 05:18 PM

Right, I think with regards to the P&A animation we can just go ahead with things. So, you guys who are in it, please send me recordings of the new lines and I'll get started on splicing them up for the animation.
Legate, you might want to tone your squeakiness down a bit, though.

Galadriel55 · 11-20-2011, 06:12 PM

Oddwen smells like dwarves?

Isn't that from the previous paper?

Oh, and btw, I didn't write that article.

And also - Oddwen should inclde herself in the list of popular Downers.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 11-20-2011, 09:07 PM

I've come to expect a lot more from you, Hook. I was expecting meat, meat, meat, and cement in this week's paper, but there was none of that. I am terribly, terribly disappointed. I'll have my lawyers know about this.

Oddwen · 11-20-2011, 10:32 PM

As soon as I find the box I put my tally sheet in, I shall continue my Very Important Project that I totally am not wasting my time on! When I reveal my results, certain people are going Down!

Chocolate is a bean. Beans are vegetables. It's time to make a chocolate pizza salad.

And yes, my cloak smells like Dwarves. Can't imagine what they were doing with it, it's too big for them. Wait....ewwwwwwwwwwww.

Quote:

Of course there's meat in the paper. It's just spelled "ODDWEN INVESTIGATES NEWSPAPER CORRUPTION". Also, my paper was delivered this morning wrapped around some meat. Though it may just be part of my payment...er, experiment.

Aaagh! Sorry, it was late at night....

Pitchwife · 11-21-2011, 02:27 PM

It has come to this reader's mind that our esteemed Downer, although renowned far & wide for its investigative and creative journalism, still lacks one vital ingredient of a distinguished newspaper. It has its own comic strip, which has attracted a huge and growing fanbase over the years, but isn't there still something missing? Something something to do with words... something black... white... and chequered...

This reader holds that problems should be solved by those who notice them. He has therefore set to work immediately and is proud to present to you the first installment of the

BARROW-DOWNS CROSSWORD PUZZLE!

Across
1. Nemesis of 5 down
4. Not the wheel, but the stone
9. Little Carcharoth
13. Not north nor south, but in Volume 3
15. Green rodent, preys on chatters
17. ... was an elven king
18. Princess of 15 across
20. Tolkien's initials
21. Champion of 9 across
23. German word for sausage
26. Didn't kill 9 across (whatever 21 across may say)
28. "The dark fire will not avail you, Flame of ... !"
30. Greek goddess of fan fiction (short)
31. Former foster-father of 1 across, later Soap Pope
32. Numenorean police inspector

Down
2. Dwarven city in Finland
3. Czech Downer, Werewolf player (not 16 down, the other one)
5. Awesomest Downer ever
6. Hobbit in Westron
7. Time of day at which 8 downs are most active
8. Mobile home for wights
10. "Ash nazg ..." (to rule them all)
11. 1 across's original given name
12. New dog, former bus driver
14. Lommy's favourite animal
16. Inventor of the 180
19. Mountain of poultry
22. Goblin king, victim of newly invented sport
24. Producer of quality 11 down
25. Jungle cat - electromagnetic radiation = lycanthropic island
27. Original owner of Squatter's abode
29. Werewolf lynched on Day 1

The letters in the green squares, arranged in the correct order, spell out a section of the Downs where no servant of Morgoth dare set his foot.

The solution will be revealed next week. The first Downer to PM me with a complete correct solution before then wins a 100% vegetable cement pizza autographed by RoboTolkien himself. With meat.

PS. Staff of The Downer are of course hors concours. Sorry.

Incredible! I can't rep you now, Pitch, but you definitely deserve one for this. Brilliant! Gotta do this, too

Edit: Several minutes later - great

But I still have a couple of places where it's more or less totally blind spots. Okay, continuing later!

Galadriel55 · 11-22-2011, 09:13 AM

I think I got the section of the Downs!

Though only about half the "regular" words...

It's gonna bother me until I find out the answers! There are some words that I just can't figure out! I think I've scrunitised like the whole Downs in search of them. It's frustrating!

Random: one of the "blank spots" I had there was "Dwarven city in Finland". Okay, I haven't really stopped to think about that; when I could not think of the answer immediately, I just brushed it aside with "I'll return to it when I actually start solving the problematic ones". Of course now it suddenly totally randomly dawned upon me what is the answer. I think somebody should beat me with a shovel or something. How stupid can one be? *facepalm*

OMG! I couldn't get that one either (I even skimmed through the Finlandmoot posts in hopes of finding something fitting), and just when I read your post something went click!

Ekh, all riddles are easy once answered.

I'm sure you got 16 Down, though.

You're probably right, however tempting it is to talk about the more recent *facepalms*...

Pitchwife · 11-22-2011, 01:11 PM

Haha, you two are funny.

But yes, no thinking aloud, please. If you wish to speculate, compare notes or vent your confusion, take it to PMs. (And no, I'm not giving any hints.

)

Aganzir · 11-22-2011, 03:45 PM

*beats Legate and Gal with a shovel*

Pitch, I must say I am disappointed. Number 5 is all wrong. (Yes, I still need five letters too. Grumble grumble. Edit: No, four! Ha!)

Aganzir · 11-22-2011, 05:37 PM

So I've been hanging on Skype with Legate (and Pitch, except he hasn't been very helpful

) for hours trying to decipher it, and I still have one to go! Grr!

Rather making a studious effort not to be helpful. It's a great exercise in self control. (But it's highly entertaining to hear you people think.)

The most annoying thing is that I know what the remaining letters are, and can even make an educated guess as to which one's in which word. But I still don't have the words! Though it must be different words that yours...

Aganzir · 11-23-2011, 12:30 PM

I just came up with an alternative approach to the one I don't have, but it carries me only so far. I still have to guess the rest of the word... assuming I'm on the right tracks, which I'm not all that certain about.

I have two such words, half-guessed... and one that I know is absurd, and two that I have no clue about... So I actually have 5 unsolved things...

You don't need to gloat, you know.
