The Barrow Downs Newspaper - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

News on the run!
Next week is the 150th edition. I can't believe I've been doing this for 150 weeks! More, if you include the Barrow and other parodies. After next week I'll be taking a break from the paper for a few weeks in the hope that my creative brain workings will recharge enough for some fresh ideas. Or something.

Extra special thanks and sausages to Oddwen for this, the first of a three part guest special!

It's stored in the Comic Archive!!

I hope you other guest artists are working hard.

(Not that I've ever worked hard on P&A...)

Oh dear...

Not even kidding...

How DID you know I'm much associated with strawberries?

Mysterious powers, Formy. Mysterious powers.

NO! What a disgrace! A teapot full of coffee! HOW COULD THEY!?!?!?!?!?!

I was so happy for the Downer this week, and then I read the second article. It is one BIG Doctor Who reference! I just had to slap myself, it's not like I didn't enjoy it, because I did, it's just ANOTHER one. Of course, this is Hookbill we're talking about!

The last part will be on Friday.

Check the Comic Archive, for everything else.

Now, the schedule;

Firday 22nd May = Oddwen's last comic

Monday 25th = TGEW's comic

Wednesday 27th May = Aganzir's Comic (if I get it)

It does indeed.

Thanks!

Right, now Oddwen's little epic finishes off in style! Goodbye squishy!

It's been stored in the Comic Archive.

Fun times are ahead, I assure you. With volume three on the horizon, who knows what adventures await our heroes?

A tad late, I'm afraid. I've only just got back from Scotland.

Is this the final Downer? Maybe. I haven't decided yet. Whatever happens, I'm taking a break. If you still have stories to send me, please do so. I will try and put together one or two papers before I go back to the regular updates. In any case, don't expect more than a couple in the next, say, month.
I may post up the odd 'Barrow' tabloid or 'Ye Downer' if I feel up to it. But at the moment I feel very creatively drained and want to focus my efforts on P&A 3 and my own novel.
I thank you all for supporting The Downer and I hope the following is strong enough to endure a little break. Perhaps it will even become a good paper, as opposed to something thrown together in the last hour...

Now, back to Phailain!! It's time for another guest comic. This time from TheGreatElvenWarrior. A life-long P&A fan. I think. So, many thanks and buckets of cheese to you.

Check it out in the Comic Archive

Aganzir, how is yours coming along? I'd like to get Volume Three started soon. The Prologue is already up on the archive website, but I may post it here for comments on Friday. In any case, the official start of Volume Three will be next Monday.

Volume 3, episode one: Peter Hampton.
