The Downer would like to apologise for the lack of content in last weeks paper. Due to a printing error, the inside was full of soil.



Now, ladies and Gentle Wights, we finally get an insight into Alien's Family...

I don't watch South Park, so it is not deliberate.

I was thinking of having Alien's father turn up to. He was going to be an old Intellectual Gentleman... and Inteli-gent.

The New York Times trying to take Phantom & Alien?

Tisk, tisk...

I would have thought The New Yorker would try to pull something like that, in some attempt to boost ratings beyond one wrung of society.
Nice to hear that they didn't try, but what do we know about tempted?

Pipe What would happen if...

the phantom met The Phantom?



I think the universe would collapse. Now, what would happen if Alien met the Alien from the film... Alien?

We'd have another sequel, of course...

Or, more like a dark comedy spin-off.

I actually believe the film Alien won't bear the Alien's company and willingly shoot himself out of an airlock.

So, yes, we'd have another sequel with the typical cliché

I'm fairly confident that lal and Davem have a good sense of humour... but... Is this the most controversial Downer yet?

(thanks to the phantom for the mini heads and the second story)



This week, we get to meet The Phantom’s nephew…

You can see that by the super-human powers of his slippery-ness he has already slipped through the bars and by now will be on the run, far from the powers that seek him. Mua-ha-ha...

I wouldn't go looking for what he smuggles though as he keeps it in his nappy.

Wait 'til he is 18 and sees this...is he going to be more embarrassed than this kid? - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770

Well, I found an old note book in which I'd drawn some Phantom and Alien ideas... Would you like to see 'em. Be warned, some are a little... sickening...
