Concerning the late The Downers' edition I feel obliged to stress one word from a headline appearing there.

"Nogrod May Not Actually be Iluvatar in a Mask."

Just to keep you guessing...


May The Downer rest in peace until it's time for a resurgence.

PART TWO of our journey through alternate newspapers on the Downs! This week, everyone's least favourite tabloid rag, proudly reporting from the very gutter of the press, it's The Barrow! Home of Justin Durham and scandals.



And now back to your regularly scheduled Phalian.

Next week we'll be having a visit from The Financial Wight, a know-it-all paper that thinks that anything about money must be newsworthy.
I'll do my best to prepare some papers for during Britainmoot but I make no promises. There should be an internet connection, so things should happen nicely... We shall see, though.

Right, this week I will try and make some Newspapers that will be posted while I'm on holiday. Also some P&As. I'm making some plans for the finale of volume 4 and that'll be happening in the next three or four weeks. After which I'll be wanting some guest comics if anyone fancies giving it a go! Anything from a regular Phalian, to a Fungoltch und Schmurt, or a Sir Phantom and Mr Alan.

PART FOUR of our journey through alternate newspapers on the Downs! This week, we journey into the future! Yes, the future of the Barrow Downs! A world of technology and possibly other things. And Robots.

Sadly, there will be no newspaper next week, but the following week we'll be back to the good old Downer regular! Hope you enjoy that!

There will be a few more P&As this season, followed by a short mini series, and then we'll head into volume 5!! So look out!! It feels good to be back doing these things again.
