Funny newspaper front pages

Journalists love nothing more than a good "knobbly monster" - a desperate attempt not to use the same word again . . . when there is only one. Named after Paul Hudson, who was writing about alligators when, having used up "reptiles", he resorted to "the knobbly monsters".

Here are some classic funny newspaper knobbly monsters (compiled by Tom Churchill of The Scottish Sun) ..

Wendy Alexander: the machine-gun-voiced brainbox (The Sun)

Dr Jekyll: the creepy transforming murderer (The Sun)

Neds: the intellectually-challenged Buckie-lovers (News of the World)
