After all, it's only about 6 months late in reporting my retirement as a mod.

If nothing else, Mr Pan, it's the first piece of semi true news the paper has ever had. So... be happy!

What I'd like to know is why there is a kettle in a coat of arms, for a man of saucepans...

Call me the offspring of a politically correct cook, but what type of kettle is it? Just curious...

In The Faraway Tree books, from which the Saucepan Man comes, the character wears not only Saucepans but kettles also. Also, I was getting annoyed cutting out pictures of saucepans and felt I needed a change.

As for what kind of kettle... Erm... It's a mettle one.

Ah!

I become easily annoyed when asked to draw the tops of trees, or hills with rocks. I mean, what's the point if you can't give them a reason to invoke thought such as faces, or taking the shape of something else? Eugh to minimalism for everything, eventually you can't catch the basic in a snare, face it, it's always here or there and now or then. Sorry for my rant...

A mettle one? Hopefully not mettle-ing in too many risky affairs.

Anyways, again Hookbill, you've proven that the worlds of journalism and design are not forever lost in a muddle, or puddle, or kettle...

Yet another Newspaper! This week with free cake.

The Phantom has a bit of a problem... again.

Well, I was hoping that nobody would find out about that, but it seems that the journalists from the Downer are too good...

'ere!

Why's the Downer on Issue 48 but P&A are only on Number 43? Have I missed summat? Or am I having a senior moment?

Glad to see DCI Lalwende grows ever more tetchy...
