The Barrow Downs Newspaper - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Not only uninformative, but also unpunctual...?

The Barrow is the Downs' premier tabloid newspaper. Providing you with shock stories, celebrity 'gossip' and pointless prises. Enjoy this for the next three weeks, why don't you?

And now... THE ADVENTURE REALLY BEGINS!
Episode one of the new volume of The Phantom and Alien. Let's meet this Peter Hampton and find out just haw awesome he thinks he is...

It will, as usual, be stored at the old Comic Archive.

So, let speculation fly!

Yes. I love the ending to that! "...another blasted.... bus driver."

Well, just to get you all excited about Volume Three, I made a quick little trailer for you. I'm still pretty new to video editing, so it's not great. But it does it's job... sort of.

I hope you liked John Fillis' cameo.

Hool, cookbill! Or... hook, coolbill? ...whichever way it should be...
We is looking forward to upcoming P&A...

Just, concerning this horrible "The Barrow", makes me a bit sad we lost our reliable "The Downer", it is obvious that "The Barrow" is really a far worse sort of newspaper. If you can call it news. If you can call it paper.

I was tempted to use the usual tabloid response of "but so many people read it", then I remembered that it's not exactly true in this case.

Glad you liked the trailer. I don't think it gives too much away about future episodes...

Loving the new P&A

Who says its printed on paper? I always thought it was "Printed on the finest fell beast skin since 1876".

I also laughed the phrase "ruthlessly taking food in exchange for currency". Great work, Hooky!

Wow...that trailer was pretty epic. Especially the soundtrack. And the "stuff."

Nice trailer, Hookbill! I couldn't have done something that good with any program. It made me giggle, and my brother was not even there to see it.
