Next week something new and exciting, probably.
I'm open to guest comics, too! If anyone has a P&A in them send me a PM or an email and we'll have it framed and put up, or something. ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I am not amused!

[Galadriel55]

That Panda is giving me good money for the biscuits, mind!

P&A BABIES?!?!?!?! Are we going to have explosive rattle toys? Please?

[Morthoron]

PPfft! It's the Ministry of Magnetic Affairs, not the Department of Magnetic Affairs. And the only department heads we have are pickled in jars. :D

[Galadriel55]

There are tabby cats and calico cats. Persian cats, Abyssinian cats, Aegean cats, Brazilian Shorthair cats, British Shorthair cats, British Longhair cats, Egyptian Mau cats, Norwegian Forest cats, Russian Blue cats, Scottish Fold cats, Singapura cats, Siberian cats, Turkish Angora cats, and American Bobtail cats. Many many cats.

[the phantom]

Do you want BWight to ban you, Galadriel? :p

(What- you didn't give me a pistol, Hookbill? How am I to survive the inevitable outlaw attack?)

[Bêthberry]

The cat'll come back, the very next day, TP.

[Boromir88]

A random gas station meeting to discuss football with the phantom would not be a depressing moot, in my humble opinion. :p

[Galadriel55]

Do you want BWight to ban you, Galadriel? :p

Cats have 9 lives, you know... ;)

[the phantom]

I seem to recall a mini-headline in The Downer a couple years ago that was something like-
"Cat's Nine Lives No Match For Shotgun"

:p

[Galadriel55]

Aha! Now tp is also talking about cats! Do you want BWight to ban you, phantom? :p

[the phantom]

I'm already banned actually, but I've learned to post in such a way that only certain folks can see it.

This post, for instance- it doesn't exist for anyone except you.

In other news (i.e. previous Downer headline)- "Study Determines Cats Unable to Swim Effectively in a Vat of Glue".

[Galadriel55]

I should have realised (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=17567).

This post, for instance- it doesn't exist for anyone except you.

Maybe all posts don't exist at all, and you are just imagining them. Maybe this one is a figment of imagination - but whose, I wonder? mine or yours?

In other news (i.e. previous Downer headline)- "Study Determines Cats Unable to Swim Effectively in a Vat of Glue".

"Study determines that Study is quite a stupid person who hasn't seen a cat leap off the fifth floor and survive" - says Study. "And cats aren't made for swimming anyways. They are too eeeeevil for swimming."

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

"Study determines that Study is quite a stupid person who hasn't seen a cat leap off the fifth floor and survive" - says Study. "And cats aren't made for swimming anyways. They are too eeeeevil for swimming."

There was also an article a while back that had to do with putting cats in microwaves. Clearly tp is the most evil person in the whole world. How could anybody hate cats?

[Bêthberry]

I think our responses, G55, have demonstrated sufficiently that cats provide a euCATastrophe and therefore pass the canonicity test.

And now the Phantom and Alien enter a new era. A new plane of existence! A new set of pants! This time they're old film noir detectives. A bit like Phanston and Ailsbry, but in an alternate reality or something.
This is actually technically the start of... Volume 5!

ENJOY!

Or Like The Phantom and Alien Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Phantom-and-Alien/252517508204173)!

The new Facebook page for P&A has ALL the episodes I could find on my computer as well as some never-before-seen art and concept drawings. It's fun stuff and I'll probably be posting the episodes there, too!
This is mostly down to the fact that the webs page I was using before was not allowing me to upload new episodes and kept deleting old ones so I've given up on it for now. Grrr. So, if you're on the old fac-e-book, give it a 'like'. Or don't. I'm not your boss.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The twist to the story is that I actually didn't resign.

[Bêthberry]

I am resigned to Rune's not resigning.

[Aganzir]

Just so you know, they say my ego is bigger than the phantom's. I'm not sure I agree, though. The phantom really has some ego issues while I'm just realistic.

Speaking of the phantom, he's hot. The comic version, I mean.

Also, cracked up at William Worm.

Next week's P&A will introduce a new character never before seen in P&A!! It's someone from the Downs. Someone who was at Britainmoot. Someone who is kind of insane. Hmm. That could mean anyone... Anyway, enjoy speculations!

[Galadriel55]

A new characer? Yuppee!

Who could it be, huh? Not Lommy, Squatter, Lal, or davem. They've appeared before. Agan? Greenie? Oddy? Mr. Goomba?

I'm actually not sure if any of the people with question marks appeared in P&A. I can't remember. I'm sure that it I'm wrong I shall stand corrected very quickly. ;)

Greenie has, Hooky has, I believe Agan has as the Sea Hag. Lommy, Leggy and Squatter have also been in.

The Britmoot people who haven't been in PandA includes Esty, Guenivere, PomPom, Oliphaunts_Rule, me, and Kath.

edit: Oh! Also Faramir Jones, Poison Ivy, Bethberry and Brian Sibley.

[Galadriel55]

++Brian Sibley

:D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Greenie has, Hooky has, I believe Agan has as the Sea Hag. Lommy, Leggy and Squatter have also been in.

Hah, well, Agan wasn't supposed to be the Old Woman of the Sea, so I don't know how you'd count that. :p
I only appeared in a none-cannon episode.
Did A Little Green appear? I don't recall her doing so...

Anyway, yes, it's one of the people mentioned above. ;)

It'll be confirmed in two episodes time, but the new character is Aganzir. Expect heightened levels of craziness and insanity in the coming weeks.

[Aganzir]

Bahaha! Awesome! :D

And hey guys, I'm the self-proclaimed Sea Hag. Just because I look like her. Or, I believe, it was Legate who made that up, but still.

Oh and I also like Oddwen's cake.

[Oddwen]

Everyone likes my cakes. Or else.

:cool:

I needed a break from studying so out of the blue I decided to do a word-occurrence search on my Downer document, which contains every article & mini-headline I've ever written for Hookbill's delightful newspaper.

You remember that Phantom and Alien animation we said we were making? Well, it's almost done. Just waiting for the music now. Hopefully that won't take too long. Sorry about all the delays. Don't know if we'll do another like this, but I'm going to think about options. Watch this space!

Aganzir will be in your nightmares from now on after this episode, I hope.

[Galadriel55]

Yay Aganzir! :D

And all hail the Phantom, King of the Cereal Boxes and Rubber Bands!

[Aganzir]

Peter Hampton joins the Movember movement!

Also, I'm hot and I like my teeth.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

For those of you who are not terrified by Aganzir, here is a picture my brother did of her character as a special postery type thing...

http://i46.tinypic.com/v67tom.png

(Yes there is a less 'toned down' version on FaceBook if you're not squeamish ;) )

[Galadriel55]

Some lovely lunch you got there, Agan!

[Aganzir]

It was yummy.

You want to know the difference between this one and the Facebook version? In that one, I haven't yet licked the blood off the floor.

[Bêthberry]

I must protest these reporters' reports. That press conference had nothing to do with the existence of the Barrow Downs or any odious insinuations about TBWH.

I was sure I was talking about whether the Downs was half full or half empty.

And the moral of the story is never go to a café with Aganzir.

Special thanks to the phantom for writing the second story this week! I'm sure he only wrote about himself loving himself by pure coincidence.

[Aganzir]

I really liked both the stories. And the pictures. And the café too, such nommy sandwiches they'd got.

[Nogrod]

Well, once again we meet the sorry state of the journalism today: not only they can't afford photographers to take pictures of the actual affairs and use their archives to illustrate their stories... but they even don't have time or brains to redo the captions if they use pics from other contexts!

What are limes to apples? Like as similar as journalism is to the present medialandscape. :p

Incidentally, that's one of my favourite Alien lines of all time.

Sorry for missing last week! I was busy having a horribly traumatic driving experience that left me very drained and ill for several days. Hopefully this week will make up for it. Well, it won't, but still. Here it is.

[Galadriel55]

The answer is yes. :D (And I very much approve of the question.)

Blowing things up seems to run in the family.

I hope you feel better, Hook. We can set traumatic driving experiences on fire, then stomp on the ashes, then drown them, then hang, draw, and quarter whatever's left, and then ask Lommy to blow the whole thing up for us. Afterwards, we'll feed the remaints to the Watcher. That should do it. :)

You may have heard the news, perhaps the rumors of a Phantom and Alien animation. Well. They are true. So true, in fact, that I'm going to post a link to said animation below. Enjoy these final moments of sanity. They will be your last.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Here's the video!

It is the final culmination of many months of animating and composing and voice recording. A Barrow Downs cooperative project. Feast your ears on this...

Now we return to the dark and dingy world of the Phantom and Alien Noir! I know it's dark, I know it's scary. But as the plot thickens, so does the pudding. And everyone likes pudding.

But, um, having some trouble with the P&A episode at the moment. And I'm far too tired to fix it properly.

Now that the Downs' is back to full working order, I'm going to take this opportunity to ask for any article submissions for no reason. ; )

[Nogrod]

Maybe for the first time of it's history The Downer has a story that is true! :rolleyes:

My lazyness-beard did get cut only three days before the article - whether it happened the way the article described will remain a mystery for ever after though.

[Bêthberry]

Of course I'm innocent. I haven't seen an installation of modern art since I saw Shelob at the Tate some years ago.

I'm sure that hallucinations are the only sane response to modern art. That, and reading the Downer. Well, no, maybe that's not sane.

So it's blackbirds and mushrooms in berry pie? You'd better not get me to cook at the next moot. ;)

"Yarr! This be a pirate paper." So said Sir Carrot McNotapirate when he first read our little newspaper. But what would he know, eh?

[Galadriel55]

I just love how every once in a while the newspaper actually somewhat mentions the Down's current events. :D Moreover in addition furethermore, I also love not current events too as well.

You mean the one about Duckbill the Koopa suing Infamous Barrow Downs Newspaper Mogul? Yeah, I am also following that case with great interest...

Keeping up with the Phantom and Alien is sometimes hard.
Anyway, I've been thinking about going on a short hiatus soon, not sure when. But I feel I need to cool down and get a grip on this little project. I'm not enjoying it any more and I've felt it slipping away for a long time. It's useful in some ways as a writing exercise, practice and so on, but I feel like I've lost the drive I once had.
Maybe it's because it's summer time and everyone is busy, or maybe I'm just running out of ideas. Or maybe I ran out of ideas 350 issues ago...
Anyway, I've got sketches for the next two or three in my head and more P&A of course, but eventually I think I'm going to take a short break for a few weeks. Maybe go on holiday somewhere. Hope that's okay with everyone.

[Oddwen]

Dude, you've been doing this for us for seven years. You deserve a break (eating pudding with a spooooon).

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Or eating spoon with a pudding, for that matter.

Holiday is nice. Everyone needs it once in a while. Otherwise you'll end up like a dried fish, yess.

We'll be still here when you are back, so, no problem :)

[Galadriel55]

Oh no! I shant live without it! I shall commit suicide! I mean, rise from the dead! Erm...

Kidding aside, ditto Oddy and Legate. You deserve a break. As for what to eat and how to eat it, you know that you could be very fancy and make a meal of aluminum-stuffed crocodile in wood shavings... :Merisu::D

There may or may not be a newspaper next week, not sure. Probably definitely a P&A, though.

Next week there will be no paper, nor the week after. Hopefully I'll be ready to get back into it come August. Until then, I hope you're all happy! Look at what you've driven me to! : Merisu:

Bump for old awesomeness. Just went looking for Joel's website on The Phantom and Alien to show a friend and it's gone :(

I have some plans in the works for some sort of revival. May take some time to put together, though.

[Morthoron]

Dear Sir and/or Madam Editor:

It has been many months past since I've endeavored to issue complaints regarding anything. I dwelt on this strange, perturbing turn of events recently, and discovered that I had, in truth, absolutely nothing to complain about. Naturally, one can imagine my umbrage at having nothing which I might find grievance with or to hurl indignant protests against. It is, I assure you, an intolerable state of affairs!

Suddenly, it came to mind that it had been several months since I had read your disreputable rag The Downer, and that my current egregious state of lack of complaints was directly caused by the disruption of your atrocious paper!

Therefore, I demand that you continue publication of your dreadful, grammatically-impaired, pun-ridden pile of pusillanimous pulp posthaste so that I may continue complaining in a manner that befits my God-given right to express displeasure whenever, wherever and to whomever I so choose.

Thank you in advance for your prompt return to lunacy.

With regard,
Ms. Helena Handbasket
Cheshire-on-Crackers, Wiltsingtonthorpeshireset, Belchley

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Re: Ms. Helena Handbasket:

I applaud the trouble you went through to write to this newspaper. As a loyal reader myself, it grieves me to see that I too have nothing to complain about. Where has that mad old editor gone off to? Fiddlesticks and chips, I demand a resurgence of this newspaper so I have something to rip up to put in my cat litter boxes.

Sincerely,
Nobelia Ackville Gabbns

I have some plans in the works for some sort of revival. May take some time to put together, though.

I would like to complain about a lack of revival. How dare they lie to us! I demand a protest!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Searching under a rock, the people of the Barrow Downs simultaneously discovered this new edition of The Downer!

http://i59.tinypic.com/30uzkee.png

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I have been a reader of this paper since year two of its existence, and I am fully glad that it is back. Even if we don't get the Downer forever, I still celebrate its ability to make me laugh. Kudos, Hook. You have flashed me back to my teenage years in the most pleasant of ways with your groan-inducing humour. :)

[Galadriel55]

Dead good! ;) Oh how I missed this! :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I think I need to up the budget for the Diet Crtics Department.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I was interviewed by The Sci-Fi and Fantasy Network and I felt I had to mention this website and this newspaper. Take a look-see, people! :D

Forgive the blurriness of the image! I forgot to set the focus on my camera!

[Oddwen]

Actual news reporting in this thread?? This isn't what I paid for! :cool:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I had a dream either last night or the night before that Hookbill had posted a new P and A on his facebook and had linked to another newspaper he wrote on this thread. I miss the glory days of the Downer sometimes. We had fun. :)

[Pitchwife]

Well, we have Hook's books now - can't expect to have our toast buttered on both sides, I suppose. Still, you're right, I sometimes miss all the glorious random silliness... Especially Fungoltch unt Shcmurkt! Funadalkn? Gimifril!

I have read The Sea-Stone Sword, but I haven't had the chance to buy his other books, but I've been an avid reader of his for years o'course! :D All the same, Fungotch unt Shcmurkt is probably my best memory of this thread's heyday.


Glorious random silliness is best served hot and buttered. ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I've got ideas for doing something with the Phantom and Alien someday. Not sure what, exactly. A comic book of some sort, or maybe a children's book (heavily edited, obviously). Not sure. But one day...

[Nerwen]

Hey, why not?:cool:

Huh. That's so funny. I was talking about your books with my mom a few weeks ago and she suggested the same thing. She said that because it's comics, you may be able to make some money off of it. ;)

Alternatively he will have to seduce a high ranking civilservant, so that he books may be found at every library across the land!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well, Phantom and Alien fans, there may be a future in store after all!

My publishers, Grimbold Books, asked me and my brother to make a comic strip for their Patreon page and so, naturally, I thought of The Phantom and Alien. Now, they wanted it to star their company mascots, two cats called Grim and Bold. But, to all intents and purposes, they will actually be The Phantom and Alien.

http://i66.tinypic.com/98c8lj.png

The episodes will go up for free for everyone beginning in September, but you can see them all first in August HERE (https://www.patreon.com/GrimboldBooks) if you're interest. :)

There's also been talk of a printed graphic novel style book of comics as soon as we've got enough!

I'll make sure to put in lots of Barrow Downs references, don't worry.

[Galadriel55]

Cool! That'll give me something to procrastinate with once school starts! :D

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Exciting news, Hook! I look forward to more P and A craziness. :D
