5 DAYS
PLUS A COLOR!
OUR PUBLISHERS HAVE CEASED
PUBLICATION OF THE SATURDAY EDITIONS OF THEIR PAPERS. THIS MEANS
THAT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE WE WILL NO LONGER BE PRODUCING SATURDAY
STRIPS. AS WE UPDATE THE WEBSITE 24 HOURS AFTER THE NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION
OF THE STRIP, THIS MEANS THAT THERE WILL BE NO NEW STRIP FEATURED ON SUNDAY.
HOPE THIS ALL MAKES SENSE??!!

THE
LOW-DOWN
SO, WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
IT'S ABOUT
HELL, HEAVEN AND THE AFTER REALMS! IT'S ABOUT THE DEVIL, THE GRIM
REAPER, GOD AND ALL THOSE OTHER FOLK YOU PARENTS ALWAYS TOLD YOU ABOUT,
BUT NEVER ONCE BOUGHT YOU ANYTHING FOR CHRISTMAS.
WHY IS IT CALLED "DOWN
TO EARTH"?
WELL, GOD
CAST THE DEVIL "DOWN TO EARTH" FOR LEAVING THE TOILET SEAT UP BUT ALSO
"DOWN TO EARTH" IS THE NAME OF A DINGY LITTLE BAR, TWO BLOCKS DOWN FROM
THE DRIVE-IN BURGER KING, WHERE ALL OUR CHARACTERS LIKE TO HANG OUT FROM
TIME TO TIME. "DOWN TO EARTH" IS RUN BY BERNARD, THE BARKEEP. HE'S
PRIVY TO A GREAT DEAL MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS PATRONS WHICH HE'LL BE
GLAD TO IMPART TO YOU IF YOU VISIT THE BAR IN THE "CHARACTERS"
SECTION OF THE SITE.
WHY IS IT SO AWFUL?
HMMM ... WE SUGGEST
YOU LEAVE NOW BEFORE WE GET ANGRY! |
