THEY'RE BACK . . . Bigger, better and bolshier than ever.

You have to wait 75 years to see Halley's Comet again and ten years to see (and smell) the giant corpse flower bloom. But for the second time in less than five years, the NT News team have given up Friday night drinks to collate a collection of their best efforts into the ultimate gift book.

Famous for their witty front-page headlines that can turn a wayward croc, a misused firecracker, or an unconfirmed UFO sighting into a national talking point, they've again proved that the combination of a photo and caption is an art form perfected in the muggy heat of Australia's Top End.

WHY I'VE GOT SOME STICKY NEAR MY DICKY

DID ALIENS STEAL MY MANGOES

TOASTER MELTED MY DENTURES

MONSTER SNAKE FOUND IN LOO

WHY I'VE GOT A COIN IN MY GROIN

While everyone else is talking about fake news, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Croc! is chock-a-croc with what really matters. And that trumps everything.

'There's more to us than croc front pages and witty headlines. When we figure out what they are, we'll let you know.' - Overheard at the NT News headquarters
