Death has to drink petrol. That's how he can shoot flames out of his eyes! :D
But wasn't it Morsul who did that? *is confused*

I like the pig there. But, has neither of you noticed... *looks around carefully* ...The Piano??
Yes indeed, The Piano. (... ... ... ...) Er... what about it? *feels stupid*

And speaking of feeling stupid, I only just noticed that Aunt Bob was the nun we saw in Episode 002, wasn't s/he?

Going to go back to the once a week P&A from Monday for a week. Josh has been busy with his collage final project thing. BUT! I am trying to talk him into making a Phalian animation. It'll be epic.
*drools*

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yes indeed, The Piano. (... ... ... ...) Er... what about it? *feels stupid*

Well, The Piano was seen repeatedly in the position of a grey embassy (in the background) of various pics in various episodes. You can try to look for it, but be careful... it might look for you... (I think Nietzsche said something like that...)

[Laurinquë]

I like the pig there. But, has neither of you noticed... *looks around carefully* ...The Piano?? :eek:

That piano is a creeper. Always slinking about mischievously.

But wasn't it Morsul who did that? *is confused*


Forgive me. Death shots it out of his mouth (http://i45.tinypic.com/10fufdc.png), not his eyes. :(

Probably no P&A this Thursday, but we'll be back with a bang next week! Expect thrills, spills and drills! Note, none of those may actually be in any of the episodes. Especially the drills.

[wilwarin538]

"Why is there an eel?" hahaha, love that.

Lostlote, please leave my fellow muffins alone. :p

[Loslote]

Lostlote, please leave my fellow muffins alone. :p

I'lll pass along the message if I ever meet Lostlote. ;)

[Blind Guardian]

Ohhh a good Sauron, me likes. Can I set up a time to meet him?

[Laurinquë]

"Why is there an eel?" hahaha, love that.
Such a great, nonsensical line!

I'lll pass along the message if I ever meet Lostlote.
She's bound to join the Downs any day now.

When Davem's drug habits got so bad that they opened a rip in the skin of the universe, no one knew quite what to expect. It turns out that the alternate dimension that the cracks lead to was one in which Sauron was good. Anti-Sauron is kind, benevolent and always gives out Jelly Babies to the children.

Personally, I'm more concerned about your Doctor Who habits Hookbill. Er, I mean 'Hammond the Skull'. By the way, I'm still a child right? I deserve Jelly Babies too. :D

[Eönwë]

I'lll pass along the message if I ever meet Lostlote.
You'll have to find her first...

Personally, I'm more concerned about your Doctor Who habits Hookbill. Er, I mean 'Hammond the Skull'. By the way, I'm still a child right? I deserve Jelly Babies too. :D
Hm... I wonder if there's burnt fragments of the Downer Newspaper in the alternate universe?

[Loslote]

You'll have to find her first...

I'm sure this is only all that funny because it's one in the morning, but HA! :p

[wilwarin538]

I'lll pass along the message if I ever meet Lostlote.

Oops. :eek: :p

You'll have to find her first...

Haha. :D

[Morai]

My goodness, I missed a lot when I left the Downs for a month. :eek:

Favorite lines over the past month?

Bubbles to bubbles, bath to bath. (Though just about every comic made me giggle in some way. Helping a friend move for four hours seems to work even better than chocolate.)

And

Beatles scientist fired for suggesting that Lucy is not in the sky.

Does that mean she's still with the diamonds? In that case, I might steal one or two. I have a college education to pay for. :Merisu:

[Laurinquë]

Hm... I wonder if there's burnt fragments of the Downer Newspaper in the alternate universe?

Quite possibly. *reaches through* :D

On Thursday we'll be seeing some more of that King Bus. It really does seem to get everywhere, doesn't it?

[Loslote]

Oh, goodness! Where did the gun come from? Who gave Lommy a gun? :eek:

Also, they didn't take the money because they knew I'd already stolen it and exchanged it for fake gold. ;)

[Laurinquë]

P and A Is back with a bang!
This time, Lommy has some odd ideas...


Hookbill, my computer has started eating your image links again. No P&A for me it seems. You couldn't find some way to fix that could you? :( It's not working on the archive site either for some mysterious reason. I blame the oil companies.


By the way, nice wizards you have there. You can never have too many Gandalfs.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

The time draws nearer for the 200th and final edition of the Downer!

If it was the final edition of the Downer. . . I`d have to. . . do something drastic!!!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Rune's Quality Beef would like to point out that our investment in a statue of Bernard Evans has not only been our most profitable investment ever, but it has also increased the living standards of pigeons Portsmouth.

Also that "Mike's" wasn't for me. . . I was just holding it for a friend.

[Pitchwife]

Poor Lommy... she should have read her Nietzsche more carefully:(...

It's hight time the Phantom got back to looking for that King Bus, don't you think?

Gosh! Alien has it now! What crazy antics will he get up to? It just can't be good for the world. Look out, John Fillis!

[Blind Guardian]

This is getting good!

*Grabs enough Cookies for a year*

[Loslote]

Secret exits ftw. :p

I'm getting worried...The King Bus looks scary with those new wheels. :eek:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I've been reading old Downers today (it shows how much of a life I have). They are wonderful and amazing and hilarious! I'm glad that I was there to read them when they were posted.

Erm. This is very important to the rest of the world, I assure you.

So, grab your faces and duck behind a duck! P&A is about to get a lot more strange. There may be guests and nests, for all you know.
Also, next week's Downer will be a multi-page extravaganza! With more shoes, beards, beef and boskin than you can shake a mule at!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Funny, I thought that the biggest beard the world had ever seen lived in my cupboard. I guess it must have escaped. I knew I should have put higher security measures on it!:rolleyes:

Just don't insult penguins while she's around otherwise that hat will get in all sorts of unpleasant places...

[Blind Guardian]

So that's what she looks like.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Aww. It's grumpy Lommy. :D

[Blind Guardian]

I didn't think the hat came off cause of the penguin.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

So, the time has come for the unusual, the strange and the randomly golden, 200th edition of the Downer Newspaper!
Special thanks to...

TGEW, loslote, and Laurinquë for writing extra special stories for this paper and it's inside stories. ENJOY OR EAT YOUR OWN HAND!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Week200.png

More pages to come...

The Phantom and Alien will return on Thursday with the usual madness and mayhem that entails. We'll find out how Pope Formy is doing!

[Laurinquë]

GO ROBOTIC TOLKIEN! We're all behind you, attempting to push you over!


Such wonders! You have done a great job with this Hookbill! However, that picture of custard looks more like applesauce. :p I'll eat it anyway though, I love custard.

I think I can recognise the writing (even mine!), but who exactly is responsible for what? Whoever you are, you did a good job! :D

And I'm waiting for those missing pages you know. 1-27.2, 27.4-856, and 858-91,856.

[Blind Guardian]

The BWH has a better chance of winning, besides he'll do less damage!

WAHOO! I was mentioned twice!! Those darn kids! I put paint on my door mat, and when I answered the door, they threw it at me!

What does a Deputy Prime Minister do?:D (besides make up crazy things that random people didn't say :P )

Loslote, Rune doesn't like you any more.

Custard looks like vanilla pudding. Yum!

Phew, they didn't find my fingure prints at the ba-....you didn't here it from me...


Edit: in the middle of typing this Safari messed up lost everything and I had to type it from the Google app

[Laurinquë]

WAHOO! I was mentioned twice!! Those darn kids! I put paint on my door mat, and when I answered the door, they threw it at me!

It's because you're now everyone's favourite Downer. You liked my bean story then? ;)

[Blind Guardian]

Yes I do. Thank you very much!



Edit: Everyone's favorite Downer? How so?

[Laurinquë]

Edit: Everyone's favorite Downer? How so?

Because Hooky and I both included you in our stories somehow. :) Revenge for the poor baked beans! I had just ran out of them when I wrote that and was distressed.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Yes I do. Thank you very much!



Edit: Everyone's favorite Downer? How so?
Because I was going to write a story about you too. :p


Oh, Hookbill, that was amazing! Especially the newspaper being gold. And some nice photoshopping you've done there as well. :D

[Loslote]

I think I can recognise the writing (even mine!), but who exactly is responsible for what? Whoever you are, you did a good job! :D

I wrote the All-Sport piece and the Invading Barrow-Wights piece. I also made the advert. :Merisu:

Loslote, Rune doesn't like you any more.

My dear BeiGe, Rune and I have a very complicated relationship involving attempts to frame and/or assassinate each other on a regular basis due to our meat -or not really meat, in my case - making rivalries. :mad:

[Blind Guardian]

I want to see this!

You just pm Hooky with an article you've written and, if it's the right length and he doesn't have something else already planned, he might put it in.

And don't worry; read the Downer long enough and articles about this feud will turn up. They always do. :rolleyes: (Of course, after he got me stuck in jail, I had less free time to destroy him, but I still do my best. :Merisu:)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Wow! I'm famous! (Though I did post something about wanting to be mentioned...)
You know, when I mentioned something about wanting to be in the Downer I got hacked to death for it. Be careful what you say around Hookbill (or anybody else writing for the Downer) because he might take it and do something ridiculous. It gets even worse when he has access to pictures of you. :p

EDIT: Hookbill will edit an article you send in too if need be. So you really can't go wrong. And it helps the editor to be less stressed, which means that he is funnier, which is always a good thing. :)

All of the pictures of me have a password that even I can't type. (just tried it the other day, couldn't do it, I kinda wonder how everyone else does it :rolleyes:) But I don't really care, as long as its not personal. *prepares to get hacked to death*

I. . . see.

But Hoobill only exploits pictures of Rune (so much). So you're relatively safe; unless, of course, you are doing something relatively ridiculous, or that he can photoshop, or both. :rolleyes:

No. He excessively uses pictures of Rune. I guess he is easier to poke fun at? I don't know. Hookbill's logic always confused me a bit.

I refuse to acknoledge this trend! Rune deserves no publicity! None, I tell you! :mad:

[Oddwen]

Well done, (the) Master Hookbill! Congratulations on your bicentennial anniversary.

[Pitchwife]

Hooray for the Golden Bicentennial Downer! Tolkienator Rules!
++Hookbill, TGEW, Lottie and Lauri for Pulitzer Prize (or wraith-world equivalent thereof)
Also, ++Aunt Bob's Letters for regular column!

BG, being mentioned in the Downer is a rare honour, only surpassed by having Hookbill single you out to poke fun at. And like becoming a Fenris Wolf, "This is something that one doesn't seek out it is thrust upon one." (Mithalwen)
(By the way, don't think you're safe just because you haven't posted any photos of yourself. He can make you post some, if he so chooses - I know from experience:D.)

What I meant was that even I do not understand my own logic. And as you said "If Hookbill's logic doesn't confuse you, chances are that you are Hookbill." What does that say about me? Am I not myself! OH GOD! IDENTITY CRISIS!

Thanks, Pitchwife, but I'm going outside now, and I may be some time... :p

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

That would explain things. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I got your point... but multiple personalities can be so much fun! (Or as my wife likes to say: "Who am I, and if so, how many?")

Anyway, have a nice walk!;):D

I should think that journalists would actually understand their thoughts, since they're putting them in the public view, but what do I know about journalisms?


So, a thought that isn't really mine. The most loyal readers of the Downer (and all of the ones who helped with this one) are teenage girls. They are the ones who post most on this thread. It's rather mad.

[Pitchwife]

If they really did, they probably wouldn't... So should we be grateful that they don't?

No, it's normal. Just means that Hookbill has become a regular pop star.:D

Custard explosion makes business difficult for some
Only for some? It seemed to me that the entire financial centre of the Barrow-Downs is covered in custard. For some reason the only business that wasn't affected was the Downer Newspaper. Could you tell me why this is.

You might have noticed that the entire first page of the Dower was custard-stained. I would know; I have it hanging on my window to deter the vicious, kamikaze birds that fly into it on a regular basis. So far it is working, must be Tolkienator's hideous visage.

But speaking of going to bed at a reasonable hour, ahem, well, yes, point taken. Good night!

Ahh! I missed two weeks! Poor Lottie

[satansaloser2005]

I'd just like to point out that I had nothing to do with that picture ending up in the Downer. (No, seriously, I wondered why it looked familiar for a moment.)

Didn't stop me from giggling though. ;)

On Monday there's an intruder at Bus Co. Can you guess who it is? Well, probably, yes.

[The Might]

In the meantime there are so many P&A episodes that you could start a thread for it in the quiz room. :D

Which reminds me that I have to check the archive thing to get up-to-date.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Are you suggesting that we should quiz our knowledge of Phantom and Alien? Great idea!

Lauri and I were discussing P and A amongst other things on the bus back to Tacoma yesterday and she made a remark about P and A that I said wasn't canon. The thought that P and A has canon now amuses me greatly.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Oh dear, I didn't know my wastebasket contained the Fluffy Duck of Doom! Perhaps that explains some of the strange noises we've been hearing from the kitchen area.... :D:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

What exactly is that key I am holding for? Is it for the building of Rune's Quality Beef? :D Nice article, Guardie.

I wants to know evilology too!

[Loslote]

I was simply discarding the real-meat-byproducts from my Bacon! I am very careful to make sure that no real-meat gets in. Nasty stuff, that. >.< It totally wasn't incriminating evidence...:Merisu:

[Blind Guardian]

Yeah! It was posted!

Me wants an evil box! Where can me gets one? *pulls out note pad* What part of the meat was in it? Why not throw it in your own can? *gets hit by bus* O...

[Pitchwife]

What is it with all those ducks all of a sudden?:D

[Blind Guardian]

I think someone was plannng a wedding and released the ducks to soon. Oh no wait that's doves. Iunno ask Rune maybe they're secretly trained to torment Lottie and got of control!


Yeah...I'm out of ideas. Ask alien he knows.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

It's Phalian time!

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING (http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/)

On Monday we'll see how Alien's plans for catching that John Fillis work out. Will the King Bus really help him achieve his goal?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Is it just me, or has Phantom and Alien got a lot more bloody recently?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Is it just me, or has Phantom and Alien got a lot more bloody recently?

It's just you. You're getting more bloody. :p

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

It's just you. You're getting more bloody. :p
Oh no! :eek: When did this happen?

EDIT: Dang it, Hookbill! Now that I did something away from the computer today I have mysterious orange/red colouring all over my legs and it looks like dried blood. :( How did you do that?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Thanks to Blind Guardian for the secondary story, once again!

On Thursday, there's a bit of a confrontation between Peter and Philip! Who will win? Will one of them die... Well, probably...

[Glirdan]

Favorite part:

"BRIDGE OUT: Gone for coffee"!! Love it!! :D <3

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I have problems with the second story! Shamelessly plugging your own business, Blind Guardian! How could you? :p

You'd think that the bridge would be out to tea instead.

[Loslote]

It was *fake* beef. Why does no one ever remember the *fake* part? I would never be caught dead (:p) touching *real* meat! :eek:

Also, :mad: .

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Rune's Quality Beef will like to make an official statement saying: You'll never get me dead!

[Blind Guardian]

Yes! My own shop! Muhahahaha!!! It's up and coming you know. We've got only the cheapest exsplsives!! Everything from sparklers to nuclear bombs!

Are you saying Runes beef is fake? Or that you sell beef too? Hotdog come! She sells fake bacon!

Xed with Runesom!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Yes! My own shop! Muhahahaha!!! It's up and coming you know. We've got only the cheapest explosives!! Everything from sparklers to nuclear bombs!
Goodness me! And I thought that Lottie was an extremist! :eek:
I do hope that you have realised, dear, that you advertising in The Downer comes with a price. ;)

[Blind Guardian]

Goodness me! And I thought that Lottie was an extremist! :eek:

I didn't intend to, I just couldn't think of anything else. Wait! Uh oh, next week is going to come with a bang isn't it? Isn't it...?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I didn't intend to, I just couldn't think of anything else. Wait! Uh oh, next week is going to come with a bang isn't it? Isn't it...?
Don't you even dare blow up The Downer's printing press! If you do you shall pay the consequences! The loyal readers of this fantastic newspaper will have to come get you for it, and by 'loyal readers' I mean this loyal reader. :p


. . . However, it would make quite the story. I may have to write one. ;)

[Blind Guardian]

That's what I was thinking. Not me blowing it up but you writing a story about me blowing me up!!

But...I'm a loyal fan. If I wasn't why'd I get All The Newspapers Ever Written Collectors Edition..?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

That's what I was thinking. Not me blowing it up but you writing a story about me blowing me up!!

But...I'm a loyal fan. If I wasn't why'd I get All The Newspapers Ever Written Collectors Edition..?
Oh, so you think that I should write a story about you? Well, all right. :p

You bought The Barrow Edition, didn't you? I am the proud owner of a signed copy of the Downer (or rather Teh Donwer), thank you very much. *Has superiority complex* . . . Oh wait.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

EEEP! A day late!

Sorry about the delay, folks. My brain is fluttering away at the moments. On Monday there will be more strangeness and bad jokes. Just what you've come to expect from P&A, really!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

EEEP! A day late!
That's all right, Hookbill. At least you know that in some time zones it is still Thursday.

Great episode, by the way.

[Blind Guardian]

I wonder what that guy is going to do with the sythe...?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I wonder what that guy is going to do with the sythe...?
Who? Barry Wight? He is going to take over the world with it, obviously. :p

[Loslote]

Ohhhh...I get it now...:p I gots a guess as to what's gonna happen! :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Ohhhh...I get it now...:p I gots a guess as to what's gonna happen!

Whatever you THINK is going to happen, it probably won't. :p
Or it will, but I hope it doesn't. I have planted some red herrings here and there, so, who knows?

Not sure when the next Downer will go up. I'll be away on Sunday and Monday. But if I get Internet access at the hotel, I'll do my best to put it up in the morning, or else you'll have to wait for Monday afternoon or possibly Tuesday morning if I forget. Make sure to post on the thread by Monday evening if you want to remind me to do this, actually. :D

Oh no! Whatever will we do if The Downer doesn't come out until a day later? :p
Whenever works best for you, hard-working Editor, is good for me; and everyone else, I'm sure. :cool:

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Oh no! Whatever will we do if The Downer doesn't come out until a day later? :p

Personaly I will creat a copy of Sean Penn's very first car, only I will make it out of butter and grass.

[Blind Guardian]

On 'What p&a charactor can you potentuly be?' I got Morsul The Dark!! Yeah my favorite! And TheGreatElvenWarior thought it was rigged!!! Haha! Teehee. Okay I'm done bragging. Not. Haha Hookbill!!! *skips off laughing!* Teehee!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Okay, it's news time!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Week204.png

Because I'm an idiot, I forgot to bring this weeks P&A with me, so that'll have to be posted when I get home. Ho hum.

OH! It's also the Phantom and Alien's fourth birthday this week! There will be special celebrations at some point. An animation, perhaps. So, look out for that!

[Laurinquë]

That is a wonderful article of wonderfulness Lady Great! :D You should have carried on with the dreadfulness of the weather for another three paragraphs.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Oh Soap! Not the excess buying of shoes! :rolleyes: And hats now? Oh dear...

By the way, the second story was grand! I do wonder who wrote such a piece.

Better late than never, maybe?

Sorry Rune and Mr Gross. they got squished. Is Formy okay? Well, you'll find out soon enough.

Well, Chaps, we're approaching the END of volume 3! That's right! Only 12 episodes left. Next week sees the start of the epic four-part final show down between Philip and Peter which leads in to the dramatic finale! Hope you all enjoy it!

[Loslote]

First off, because Rune got squished...:D;)

Secondly, I love Formy's resigned expression in the third panel. :p

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Only 12 episodes left? Oh my giddy aunt (no wait)!

I love how Formy, instead of actually getting out of his church, is snorkelling... sort of. :D

[Laurinquë]

Only 12 episodes left? Oh my giddy aunt (no wait)!

Yes, but that's six weeks remember? :(

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Of course, this will mean that, in a few weeks, I'll be asking for the now traditional between seasons Obligatory Guest Artist and Writers Duration (OGAWD?). So, if any budding P&A fan drawers want to submit a comic, watch this thread for my requests. :)

[Boromir88]

If I remember correctly, that grape leaf helmet symbolized I was an awkward alcoholic. :rolleyes:

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

First off, because Rune got squished...:D;)

I am not sure I approve of that reaction to my troubles.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I am not sure I approve of that reaction to my troubles.
What reaction would you approve, then? :confused:

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

What reaction would you approve, then? :confused:

Something involving pork chops and binge drinking.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Something involving pork chops and binge drinking.
I see. Does the pork have to be real?

[Loslote]

I am not sure I approve of that reaction to my troubles.

Ah, but I do, and that is what matters in the long run. :Merisu:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Hookbill, I do hope that you are aware of the hilarity you caused! I now cannot stop quoting Phantom and Alien. I've done so now 10 times in the last hour, and it's not getting any better. I am truly a fangirl. :eek:

I'm really excited to see if that sofa cannon comes into play. ;)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Aaaaaugh! Not coffee! :eek:

P.S. I don't remember writing the second story this week.

[the phantom]

And if the sofa cannon doesn't do the trick, he may just use the legendary and deadly comfy-chair cannon!

*cues people to begin repeating "the comfy-chair"*

So, that was epic. :D And I'm happy to see the sofa cannon was as awesome as I expected. ;)

A Letter To The Editor

To whom it may concern:

I must strenuously protest the lack of a new issue of your tabloid. It has been over a week now, and I find the veritable interregnum of an interruption disconcerting. It's not that I actually read your newspaper, which would be a complete and utter waste of my time; however, at issue is the need for regularity in the Downs. Imagine, if you will, a battalion of backed-up Barrow Wights bursting with bulging bowels, a confluence of constipated cadavers contcatentating in a lumbering, lengthy line in the locale of the lone loo in the empty environs of Eriador! The methane leak alone may well suffocate the entire Downs!

So, do your part to end this insufferable irregularity by publishing your platitudinous periodical, and I shall do my part and continue to ignore its existence; except, of course, in instances such as this when The Downer's absence causes obstructive enormities.

Thank you in advance for the speedy discharge of your duty,
Ms. Emma Na Manumit
Disemboguing, Thorpechestershireborroughton

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Dear Ms. Emma Na Manumit,

You are creepy and I don't like your tie. All the same, put on your best news pants because it's Downer time!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Week206.png

Golly Gosh! Peter and Philip are still locked in battle.

What on earth will happen now? That King Bus sure gets around and looks stupid at the same time! How does Alien do it? Magic, my friends, probably magic.

[Eönwë]

And I always thought he had wolf hands...:confused: :p

[Blind Guardian]

Um, can you kill Phantom since this is his comic? Or will Mandos bring him back to life?

[Loslote]

Um, can you kill Phantom since this is his comic? Or will Mandos bring him back to life?

Oh, I'm sure The Phantom won't mind. ;)

[Laurinquë]

Um, can you kill Phantom since this is his comic? Or will Mandos bring him back to life?

Well, he is supposed to be dead in the Barrow-Downs isn't he? As a wight? ;)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Um, can you kill Phantom since this is his comic? Or will Mandos bring him back to life?
The writer of a comic, just like a writer of a book, can kill off characters whenever he pleases. Even main characters. Besides, tp is already dead in the first two volumes. How do you think that got that way?

By the way, nice death for The Phantom, Mr. Goomba. It was a bit surprising, but so perfect! :D

[Inziladun]

Letter To the Editor:

The ball bearings are not used all the time, only when I'm out of Guinness. I expected more than half-truths from such a respected....well, I'd say more, but I keep bumping into the walls.

Sincerely,
Inziladun

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I notice you're all assuming that The Phantom is about to die. Interesting, that. ;)

And BEAR HANDS was a semi deliberate typo. It was accidental, but then I decided to keep it because it amused me. :D

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I notice you're all assuming that The Phantom is about to die. Interesting, that. ;)
You're saying that he's not? Aww. But it would be so cool!

I forgot that he's already dead. :Merisu:

Whoo! Wasn't that exciting?
Things aren't quite over yet. A few lose ends to tie up. Where's Death? What will happen to John Fillis? What's Alien going to do with that bus? What will Barry do with that scythe? And what, just what, is that smell?

[Pitchwife]

Hmmm... two possibilities I can think of right now:
1. It's going to road-kill Philip so that Peter can inherit the hooded cloak;
2. It's going to road-kill EVERYONE (except Alien, of course) so that they become properly wraithed.
I'm afraid its much, much sillier than that.
:p

[Hookbill the Goomba]

:p

I hasten to point out that it's not over yet. ;)
But, yes, you were right about it road killing Philip.

[Blind Guardian]

That wasn't what I was exspecting! I laughed my butt off at his face in the last frame! :D

What are flares?

[satansaloser2005]

What are flares?

As in flared trousers. And my, my, they are some....interesting trousers. :rolleyes:

[Loslote]

Oh, wow. Well done, Pitchie. :p

So what's up with Peter's expression in the last panel?

[satansaloser2005]

Oh, wow. Well done, Pitchie. :p

So what's up with Peter's expression in the last panel?

Clearly, seeing the Phantom uncloaked is a painful experience.

[Oddwen]

Clearly, seeing the Phantom uncloaked is a painful experience.


I think the body might have just melted away. Like the Wicked Witch of the East.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Oh, wow. Well done, Pitchie. :p

So what's up with Peter's expression in the last panel?

Philip's head's fallen off. :o Should have made that more obvious.

[Blind Guardian]

Oh. I thought the cloak was empty. :p like he teleported away or something.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

The more and more I look at this, the more disturbing it gets! :eek: I didn't realise that Philip's body was still in the cloak. So Peter is handling his dead father's body...

Haha, that was a fantastic twist!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

NOT THE TREES BEING KIDNAPPED!! :eek:

P.S. The Phantom and Alien this week was muchly laugh-worthy. :D

EDIT: I like how the blurb that goes with the P and A this Sunday is the same as last. :p

[Morthoron]

"Tree Kidnaps on the Rise?" "Oddwen Captures Another?"

Now that's what I call being on 'the huorns of a dilemma'. Very ENTertaining.

This will be the last Thursday episode of the series. There's not that much left, just a bit of a round up. But there's more to look forward to! Dennis! Legate! Mr Mop! Davem! And an epic final end!

[wilwarin538]

That last panel of Peter, his expression looks so much like the real Phantom that I'm really creeped out right now. :p

Do you and The Phantom have some issues to work out? ;)

If anyone is interesting in participating in the end of season guest comics, drop me a PM and I'll send you some challenges to consider!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Are laser eyes also mandatory? Also, Phantom got what was coming to him. What did cats ever do to him? It's not like they bite you and slobber all over you all the time.

EDIT: Alien said 'Geronimo', ha ha ha!

[Morthoron]

How does one drink oneself into a "comma"?

I can see drinking oneself to the point of exclamation points, or even question marks, but not a comma. And I won't even mention colons, as that is a rather risque bit of punctuation when drinking.

P.S. Although I have known people who have drank themselves into an ellipsis. One minute they are conscious and speaking, and then all of a sudden they...

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yay!!! That was epic!!! And who would have expected that, eh? ;)

And looking forward to see how you wrap it up. But Mr. Mop? Incredible!!! Must see!!! We <3 Mr. Mop!!!!!!!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

We <√9 Mr. Mop! :p I can't wait until he comes back. :D It'll be great!

Wait. Alien died too? ;_; That's so sad. I thought that he would just live forever and ever and ever and just go to the Downs because he could.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Wait. Alien died too? ;_; That's so sad. I thought that he would just live forever and ever and ever and just go to the Downs because he could.

what part of the phrase 'oh crumbly nuts' do you not understand? :p

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

What part of the phrase 'oh crumbly nuts' do you not understand? :p
I think it might be the 'nuts' part. But maybe Alien doesn't like being the only one left alive after a nuclear explosion. After all, The Phantom already blew him up to no avail in volume one. Okay, I'll stop now.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Goodness me! Two-hundred and ten newspapers! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! Seriously, guys. Isn't this getting a little out of hand? :eek:

The ending approaches... And it's rather predictable from here...

Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the...

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING (http://joelcornah.webs.com)

I've updated the archive, by the way, so it should be much easier to navigate. Each comic has it's own little page and you can add comments! So go find your favourite episode and graffiti all over it!
Just ONE MORE EPISODE of Volume three (plus the epilogue). I hope you've all enjoyed it. There's going to be a bit of a break. Some guest comics (still accepting submissions for that, by the way), a bit of Fungotch und Schmurt and maybe a new angle on P&A?
Volume 4 will be a bit easier on the plot thickness, I think. There will, hopefully, be more stand-alone episodes. Though the first few will be 'scene setting' of course.

Some things to look forward to in the next series!!

- Davem
- Professor Alien
- Gertrude
- John Fillis!
- Squatter
- SPM
- Death
- Dr Lhuna
- A Little Green
- A red haired child who shall remain nameless
- Shocking revelations about the phantom's moustache!

And much, much more!

[Loslote]

May I just point out that P&A, when glanced over quickly, looks a lot like PDA? I was rather shocked at this disturbing trend in PandAness, before I decided to actually read what it actually said. :p

I vote we all call it PandA now, to avoid future confusion.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I vote we all call it PandA now, to avoid future confusion.
But that makes it look like 'Panda'. :p

[Blind Guardian]

Hat's! HAT'S! This is all about HATS?!

[narfforc]

hey..............that's narfforc if you don't mind......tut tut kids today I blame it on the tele......blah blah......waffle....

[Laurinquë]

Gosh! This is what comes from not checking the 'Downer for three weeks, death by laughter. HATS! SMAUG! :D

And PandA too, episode 124 is one for the record books. I am also eagerly awaiting the return of my second favourite character, Mr Mop! This must be great.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

IT'S THE END...

OR IS IT!?

Well... That's it, folks, for Volume three. There will be a short epilogue where we'll find out what's coming up next. Followed by some guest comics and then a bit of Fungotch und Schmurt.

Hope you have all enjoyed this volume!

Does anyone know what NEWS is?

I certainly don't.

Two more epilogues to go and we're through! Mr Mop will appear on Thursday, if you're good.
Hopefully, you'll enjoy the break, the guest comics and possible Fungoltch und Schmurt. Oh, and I hope you like Volume 4 when it comes.

How did Rune kill off a family of Ents? Did he first find the Ent-Wives and start a family, or was it an already existing, but incomplete family?

If people would just eat more quality beef, this incident could have been avoided all together.

Isn't that your solution to everything?

EDIT: Oh my Soap! 200 posts! How did I ever manage to say so much?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Isn't that your solution to everything?


More or less, but it is only because the beef is THAT good! (also it is very reasonably priced. . . I am practically giving it away and hardly making a profit)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Sure, sure. I've still never had your beef. :p

Make Merry and make Pippin!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! MR. MOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (okay, aside from everything else... but he's reading! Soooo wonderful!!!)

And this was really great... waiting for the final part of the epilogue.

[wilwarin538]

I love how Death is still adorable even when he's angry, and yay for Mr. Mop!!! :D

[Eönwë]

I love the last panel! :D Death definitely one-upped him!

And yeah, great comic as usual.

[Blind Guardian]

Hurray for Mr. Mop!!!!

What in the world is Death holding?? A dying, rotting snake?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Yay for MR Mop! :D He's the greatest mop in the world!

[Laurinquë]

MR. MOP IS BACK! LONG LIVE MR. MOP AND HIS ADORABLENESS! :D

I'm forever in your debt for the resurrection of Mr. Mop, Hookbill. This has made me ridiculously happy. Now we just need the Drinks Machine!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Special thanks to Blind Guardian for the second story...

It's a little scary...

Weeeeellll! Hope you are all happy and fit to burst on rage!
Next week you'll get to see a guest comic from the wonderful and quite mad Oddwen! After that, TheGreatelvenWarrior's work is up for grabs. And then we'll have a visit from Fungotch und Schmurt. All this will lead nicely into...

THE PHANTOM AND ALIEN VOLUME 4 - THE QUEST FOR THE EPIC ADVENTURE!!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I especially loved the second story this week! :D It was so random!

Also, davem looks hilarious!

[Laurinquë]

I vote for allowing Blind Guardian back as a reporter for the Downer, whether or not she was in fact hired in the first place. It's just what I needed, an extra dose of surrealism!

You're drunk right now, aren't you? RIGHT ON!

That was a truly classic ending. Now I am going to have to go over to the achieve thing and try to remember what happened last year with the explosion. ;)

Oh, and Hookbill? Do tell your brother that I'm sorry for the accusations concerning his supposed inferior artistic ability. All allegations are false I tell you; that was a great volume. :D

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Indeed, BG should be writing articles for the Downer always! :D


Oh, and Hookbill? Do tell your brother that I'm sorry for the accusations concerning his supposed inferior artistic ability. All allegations are false I tell you; that was a great volume. :D
But you never actually dismissed his artistic ability; only his humour. :p We could both apologise for that.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

To whet your apatites, here's a quick poster to show you what's to come in Volume 4!

http://i52.tinypic.com/wiakat.png

Expect a website redesign coming soon as well. :)

Oh, and Hookbill? Do tell your brother that I'm sorry for the accusations concerning his supposed inferior artistic ability. All allegations are false I tell you; that was a great volume.

Well, I'll be stealing as much art work as I can get away with for Volume 4. ;)

[Aganzir]

Squatter is hot. :smokin:

In other words, I loved Volume Three and can't wait till Four.

[Oddwen]

Awesomeness! The Time-travel Hat!

And is the Fish Man back with The Hoody Cloaky Group?

[Blind Guardian]

O-M-G! That was epic! I can't wait for volume 4! YEAH! I also have to read over and see where he blew up the contry (hehe Hookbill sceen 4, it's spelled wrong).


also, I like my craziness. ;)

[Laurinquë]

Squatter is hot. :smokin:

In other words, I loved Volume Three and can't wait till Four.

I agree. This is going to be quite good.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

I don't really look like that, you know. I promised Hookbill a skip full of custard if he could get someone to say I was hot.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I don't really look like that, you know. I promised Hookbill a skip full of custard if he could get someone to say I was hot.
You cleaned the skip before you filled it with custard, right?

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

He prefers custard filled with bicycle parts and garnished with motor oil and masonry dust; you get a more interesting trifle that way. Besides, most of that sort of thing gets saved up for the shareholder AGM. That's what happened to my TNT meringue.

You got that right, sir!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Grab your pitchforks, upend your granny and feed the dog to the bear! It's time for a P&A guest comic!
This week it comes from Oddwen, who used a lovely combinational of glue and glitter in her cereal and then came up with this neat sequence...

Feel free to re-read volumes 1, 2 and 3 before 4 starts up in a few weeks.
Also, buy Phalian merchandise from THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLLBTm0GUao) page! Want a P&A t-shirt? Washing machine? Gun? Just go for it!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Blind Guardian did the second story for this week? This is wonderful! :D I'm glad that she's writing for the Downer; all of her stories are ridiculous and random, just like the Downer should be.

Oh, and Oddwen's P and A (plural) are awesome as well! I do wish she got more of an opportunity to show her guest/fan art off.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Blind Guardian did the second story for this week?

... Oh.... Oops... I can't be bothered changing it now. :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Oh yeees, indeed, really, truly brilliant!!! Through "And you're a microwave!" to Mr. Mop and the rather cute expression in the end :D Lovely.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

... Oh.... Oops... I can't be bothered changing it now. :D
Oh well. It was still a good story. And I still enjoy it when she writes. ;)

[Blind Guardian]

... Oh.... Oops... I can't be bothered changing it now. :D

I wondered why it said that. :)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I wondered why it said that. :)
Because Hookbill always forgets to credit the right people for articles. :p

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Faster than the speed of a creeping Wight's hand, it's the Downer Newspaper!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Week214.png

It's fun for the family!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Lies! Lies and slander! I am most certainly not mad! This is ridiculous! :p

Also, I am very glad that my writing showed up. I only wrote it in pencil.

[Blind Guardian]

What does Alien say in the "But Just Then"? Shesh! And I thought I had messy handwriting :)

I say give Squatter his asparagus! And stop this nonsense!

[Blind Guardian]

I've been meaning to ask this for a while:

Is there anyone here willing to teach me German? Pitchwife? Anyone...?

[Loslote]

I've been meaning to ask this for a while:

I tried to learn Portugese online (well, learn enough of it for a Brazil Model UN confrence awhile ago) and you really have to have an in-person teacher. Online just isn't the same... :(

[Hookbill the Goomba]

NEWS MAKES YOU FUN HAPPY GOOD.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Week215.png

Well, I'm afraid you've mist most of the episodes of Fungotch unt Shcmurt's adventures. Let me tell you, they are exciting and unexpected. Or something...

And so, next week, we see the start of the new era. The new series. The new volume. THE QUEST FOR THE EPIC ADVENTURE! Hope you're looking forward to it. It is looking forward to you! :eek:

[Loslote]

For once, I am pleased by something Rune did! :eek:

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Rune's Quality Beef is always looking to improve our products and constantly try to develop new ones.

That is why we expect to launch different almost meat free vegetarian products within near future.

Like our new improved minced beef with only 12% beef, instead we have put in 88% of lard. Of course you can still get our standard minced beef, which still consists of 15% beef, 70 % lard and 15% hollow threats.

This will be the biggest thing to hit the vegetarian world since John Goodman accidentally sat on a carrot.

[Pitchwife]

Yaaay for the return of Fungoltch unt Shcmurt! That was... apocalyptic.
On the philological side, Shcmurt seems to be speaking a different dialect in this epzold, but the corpus is yet too small for determining its precise relationship to Middle High Fungoltchian.

Rune, if you're indeed intending to adjust your nutrition habits towards eating more chicken, I can't recommend anything better than Pitchie's Quality Poultry. Maybe I could even interest you in a merger?:Merisu:

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

What? I make one drunken proposal to a bunch of asparagus, and all of a sudden Rune is off his meat-only diet? It's a witch-hunt, I tell you. Fortunately, it would help six ongoing suits for bigamy (twelve Brussels sprouts, a plate of string beans and a salad bar) and one for breach of promise (an upstanding cauliflower of good family) if everyone were to eat the plaintiffs. Therefore I counsel immediate vegetarianism and a five-hundred per-cent increase in the size of everyone's meals.
