Great job, Hookbill! I am loving all these new Alien costumes.

The offices of the Downer's printing press were burned down this morning by an angry protester. They hope to have the paper back in circulation by Thursday.

Until then, the only source of news is the Tabloid paper, The Barrow;

Fortunately, about two months ago the Downer farmed out the printing of The Phantom and Alien to another company. They were able to deliver the next episode. Just for you!

Look out on Christmas day for a special Phantom and Alien animation extravaganza!

Dear Editor:

This week's edition of your newspaper was much abbreviated. I appreciate the shortened version. I request you make further reductions in your future editions. With any luck, you may soon disappear altogether.

One small cut for the 'Downer; one giant relief for mankind.

Tersely yours,

Wasn't there supposed to be a free Bananarama CD with today's paper? There usually is with tabloids!

I'll have to have strong words with my newsagent. The paper boy has probably nicked it again...

There was going to be a potatorama CD, but it melted in the microwaves the staff thought were cupboards.

This may be the cause of the 'mysterious fire'. I hear if you put a CD in a microwave, it'll create sparks.

Congratulations to Volo!

I always that kid would make it!

And if your microwave survives long enough it will start shooting lightning!
