Writer's picture: ThrongsmanThrongsman


Deskpilot has started 2025 where he left 2024 off - at the top of the leaderboard. Nicka is pushing hard, but Deskpilot's 29 headlines is a tough act to beat if that was all he produced, but add in 5 front pages and 11 News in Brief...


All in all a good start to the New Year. As usual the Cartoon of the month and the full list of headlines are posted under the leaderboard and links to the month's subs.
