They say that the whole thing will be over very quickly; I'll go into the hospital on Tuesday and wait until I go to theatre either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. I will very likely be able to go home on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.
Why am I telling you this?
Because the NEW Phantom and Alien cartoon is set for release on Thursday (the Barrow Birthday) and I want to be here to post it. Although, if things go wrong, I may ask my brother to post it up in some way or another. I don't know.

So, that's the long and short o' it. Risk of death 0.02%, risk of annoyance 97.3%

Here's a little something to while away the hours while you wait for the lights to dim in that theatre, Hookbill: Surgical Theatre. Let's hope that it is critics who have the unkindest cuts.

About what happened in week 94: I would like a re-match, I am sure the referees where baised.

... I think I preferred Alien with a chainsaw.

However, this is the perfect opportunity for people to suggest obituaries to put the paper, isn't it?

Haha, this time The Downer just totally got me

Especially the Phantom's article and the first five headlines (I experienced an uncontrollable outbreak of laughter when reading that

), and also, the comics!!!

So, did anyone figure out the trivia question? It's a tricky one.

Nerwen and Groin- glad to be of service.

This was the first time I read the Downer in the school library and yes, I laughed.

It obviously, couldn't be the Witch-King, and I can't think of any other kings so I think I'll go with, erm, Cirdan?

The Grand Admiral of The Downer is temporarily out of action, but so strong is Hookbill's will that even all the doctors in the world cannot stop his printing press.

Special thanks to someone or other for the mini-headlines and second story.

This week Phantom is thankful that Alien's outlandishness has manifest itself in a nondestructive manner.

the phantom out of ideas? That's impossible.

But that no harm of any sort came to Phantom in this week's comic...it seems biased.
