Of course I'm innocent. I haven't seen an installation of modern art since I saw Shelob at the Tate some years ago.

I'm sure that hallucinations are the only sane response to modern art. That, and reading the Downer. Well, no, maybe that's not sane.

So it's blackbirds and mushrooms in berry pie? You'd better not get me to cook at the next moot.

Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien, you can look back though...


"Yarr! This be a pirate paper." So said Sir Carrot McNotapirate when he first read our little newspaper. But what would he know, eh?

I just love how every once in a while the newspaper actually somewhat mentions the Down's current events. Moreover in addition furethermore, I also love not current events too as well.

You mean the one about Duckbill the Koopa suing Infamous Barrow Downs Newspaper Mogul? Yeah, I am also following that case with great interest...

Keeping up with the Phantom and Alien is sometimes hard.
Anyway, I've been thinking about going on a short hiatus soon, not sure when. But I feel I need to cool down and get a grip on this little project. I'm not enjoying it any more and I've felt it slipping away for a long time. It's useful in some ways as a writing exercise, practice and so on, but I feel like I've lost the drive I once had.
Maybe it's because it's summer time and everyone is busy, or maybe I'm just running out of ideas. Or maybe I ran out of ideas 350 issues ago...
Anyway, I've got sketches for the next two or three in my head and more P&A of course, but eventually I think I'm going to take a short break for a few weeks. Maybe go on holiday somewhere. Hope that's okay with everyone.

Dude, you've been doing this for us for seven years. You deserve a break (eating pudding with a spooooon).

Or eating spoon with a pudding, for that matter.

Holiday is nice. Everyone needs it once in a while. Otherwise you'll end up like a dried fish, yess.

We'll be still here when you are back, so, no problem

Oh no! I shant live without it! I shall commit suicide! I mean, rise from the dead! Erm...

Kidding aside, ditto Oddy and Legate. You deserve a break. As for what to eat and how to eat it, you know that you could be very fancy and make a meal of aluminum-stuffed crocodile in wood shavings...

There may or may not be a newspaper next week, not sure. Probably definitely a P&A, though.
