NEW GIFT SHOP OPENS
Today's top story: there is a new room up at the ski hill! A second gift shop has finally opened its doors.

Now, you might think that it looks the same as the other gift shop, but we at the Penguin Times have received reports that the gift shop at the ski hill will start selling other things in the future that the gift shop in the town doesn't have. We don't know what other changes are in store for the ski hill, but the Penguin Times promises to keep you updated.

THE SKI HILL
Normally, penguins are quiet, docile creatures, content to waddle around and talk with friends. But sometimes a penguin will feel more competitive, and when that happens, the best place to go is the ski hill!

The Ski Hill is located northwest of the town. It can be found by walking up from the dock, or by clicking on it directly from the map. There are two buildings there. One of the buildings is a newly opened Winter Sport shop, and the other can't be entered yet.

The best part about the ski hill, though is that you can go sledding! Jump on the chairlift with three other penguins, and off you go! There's only one sled run right now, but that will change soon!

Together mommy and me, waiting in the sea. We wait for a hour or to, to let us no winter is through.

Together daddy and me, go to the coffee shop for tea. After the cold swim for some food, we could use a really jolly mood!

Comic Strips
To send a comic strip to us:
