That was amusing.

I'm only itching to know who's the mysterious balding 'downer and if the bearded child is Aganzir...

If these people don't stop to take The Downer seriously, it's going to end very bad...

Are you saying that the Downer is spreading lies? I'm shocked that you would say such a thing.

Brilliant! Another stunning contribution to the literary world! Love that part about A Little Green throwing children out of a tall building (from the first story!)

Ah yes....declineing morals Legate!

No, I never said that. I complained against people like you taking it always seriously.

Not possible. It's you whom I like to think to be Gandalf.
But I remember I gave you a fake beard for birthday some years ago, also... So I guess you can stop itching now.

The blender wasn't on when Hookbill fell in was it? Because if it was, then he might have gotten blended... Poor, poor Hookbill...

Thumbs up lacking in humour since '87
Well, it's just past midnight and I can't sleep, so here is this week's paper...



This week, Alien has been messing with the pipes...

So many things happening to so many downers! It certainly looks like it has been a busy week.

The second article was hilarious!

Thumbs up
That was all too funny, especially Raynor's hotel and the mini-heads. And I sincerely hope that the 'downer who won the right to eat her/his sister was not Greenie and not in werewolf (not in any other circumstances either, for that matter). Also, I'm glad they removed Agan's teeth so she won't be biting people that much (again, I could mention werewolf ).

Anyway, I can only wonder how do you Hookbill always find the time to do this marvellous newspaper. But I'm very glad you do.
