WICKING SEIZED BY ALIEN HORDE ?

The residence of brilliant NT News cartoonist Wicking has been cordoned off midst fears that he has been abducted by aliens from outer space. Terrified neighbours say an armada of spaceships hovered over the Wicking household just as Santa was about to climb down the chimney with a blow up female crocodile .

Weird looking aliens then roughed up Santa, stripped him naked (not a pretty sight as he is a dropout from Fat Busters ) and reduced his reindeers to beef jerky with a blast from their ray guns. A petrified neighbour ,Orson Welles , with a body like a rejected bean bag , told Little Darwin the scene represented something out of War of the Worlds..

Welles says Wicking is a great neighbour , except for his outbursts of maniacal laughter when he has yet another inspired idea for a cartoon which captures the out- of – this- world NT lifestyle. Welles, who received a much needed weight reducing exercise kit for Xmas, predicts the abduction will drastically reduce real estate values all over Darwin. Thousands of people have already fled through Katherine on their way to Tasmania to escape the frightening aliens.

Fortunately, the incredibly gifted cartoonist drew a beaut Tombstone Territory Yuletide Christmas strip before he was probably beamed up by Planet Zog’s answer to Scotty .
