I'd like to see Alien get more puns from literary canon. For a lit major driven mad by those stuff, it eases the mind.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

So, Hookbill, I was wondering how much LSD you consume on a daily basis. One must be on an acid trip in order to write so much insane, brilliant, and just plain weird things. The Downer must be a product of drugs.:p

[narfforc]

Hooky is too young to know what LSD is, it's the additives in Smarties that gets him high.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hey, I'm a Pink Floyd fan. Of course I know what LSD is. :p

Where do I get my ideas? I steal them from homeless orphans.

[narfforc]

So Hooky, this Floyd fellow you know, does he wear pink clothing or something, or is he another of your imaginary creations.

[Pitchwife]

So Hooky, this Floyd fellow you know, does he wear pink clothing or something, or is he another of your imaginary creations.
I suppose that would be Floyd the Pink, the sixth Istar; according to a very late and almost illegible slip of paper he missed the boat to Middle-earth and thus was never mentioned in the Legendarium.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Hooky is too young to know what LSD is, it's the additives in Smarties that gets him high.Does that mean that I don't know what it is either? Since I'm younger than he is. Besides, LSD is so much cooler than extra ingredients in sweets.

Where do I get my ideas? I steal them from homeless orphans.It's a shame that that's what those poor orphans are reduced to.:p

[narfforc]

Yes, with Ironic Sarcasm.

[wilwarin538]

Yes, with Ironic Sarcasm.

Which I totally understood this time!!!! I was not at all tempted to explain who Pink Floyd was, haha, yay for me! (this was not sarcastic, just to clarify)

I heart Alien with lipstick!!!!

[Eönwë]

Hooky is too young to know what LSD is, it's the additives in Smarties that gets him high.

And maybe that's why he's running out of ideas, because of the new natural ingredients ones. :p (slightly more on topic)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

It's time to get some news into your day!

Extra special wondrous thanks to The Elf Warrior for writing a neat story about the threat of Evil Mayo. Much appreciated! :D

Woot! Was that fun? Oh? No? Well, who cares?

THE PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMICAL ARCHIVE OF DOOM! (http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/volume3.htm)

On Thursday we'll see the an episode that DOES NOT HAVE either the Phantom or Alien in it! Won't that be strange?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I must inquire. Why is it that some of the Downers and Phantom and Aliens back on the earlier pages of this thread are not there anymore? I rather enjoy reading old newspapers, but some of them are not there. It makes me very sad.

[Eönwë]

That's not a ditch, it's a secret mithril mine! ... erm... oops :rolleyes:

Urgh! Sometimes Tinypic takes them down for no reason. I'll have to go through the thread and find the ones that are down, by the looks of things. :(

[Morai]

Isn't Walmart by definition, evil? *hides*

Loved the progressive mini headlines. As for SpM, we write about him because he isn't here. ;)

[Thinlómien]

What a truly terrifying clown! :eek:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Urgh! Sometimes Tinypic takes them down for no reason. I'll have to go through the thread and find the ones that are down, by the looks of things. :(Oh, that's not a bit suckish. I could go through the thread, I do it periodically anyway, it makes me happy looking at old Downers.

Isn't Walmart by definition, evil? *hides*Precicely.

What a truly terrifying clown! :eek:How surprising that you would think so!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

It's Phalian time! But with no P or A!? But... John Fillis? Is he getting his own story!? Well, we shall see about that, won't we?

PHANTOM AND ALIEN'S
EPIC ARCHIVE AND STUFF! (http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/)

The adventure continues on Monday with more laughs than you can shake an average sizes stick at for about an hour.

[wilwarin538]

aww, poor John Fillis, he is not looking so hot....

[Laurinquë]

aww, poor John Fillis, he is not looking so hot....

No indeed! I noticed that he had something orange crawling up his back in episode #19 and that his hands had already started to go in #15. They sort of shrunk into his sleeves. . . :eek:

By the way, our friend (or not friend) Barry looks familiar. :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I'm feeling kind of ill at the moment so I'm going to head off to sleep rather than wait up to post this lot. Hope you don't mind. :)

It has all the fun you need and some you don't. Side effects may include; nausea, throwing up, fits of rage, nose bleeds, screaming, despair and chronic bowl movements.

Come back on Thursday to see how Alien and Formy deal with the Soap Pope!

[Laurinquë]

Ah ha! Go crab! You really just cannot help but love a crab with a top hat, he looks to very suave. It's no wonder the BWH considers him a friend, I would too if he hadn't clawed a hole in my boat.

Lovely article.

The article was great, but the P and A this week was more amazing! It was great. I was cracking up... in the school library.:D

[wilwarin538]

It was very amazing, but would have been even more amazing if Mr. SpongeCleanerGuy had "n00b#1" written on his shirt! :p

I heart Phalien.

Now, after weeks of waiting, we get our first proper look at the elusive Miss Collins, owner of Beef Buses. She's also Alien's mother. :eek:

If you're lost, you can check back on the previous episodes to make sense of all of this:

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

On Thursday, Formy is continuously baffled by how Alien seems to be helping him cope with the Soap Pope. Oh the humanity! Poor Cardinal Mardinal, what will he do?

[Eönwë]

Not double posted on this thread for a while. Must be my brithday... Wait... No it isn't. Oh well. It's because people are too tired from laughing to post. Well done again, Hookbill!

[narfforc]

Good job that Baby Theoden didn't go to his ancesters, the food would be a bit mouldy.

[Laurinquë]

Great Downer this week Hookbill! It was, er, lovely. :D

I should give my praise to Volo too, your levitation skills are improving! You'll have to give me a lesson sometime; we'll get on quite well I think, both of us being anile youths and all.

And no Hookbill, there aren't any Downers you haven't yet insulted. ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

And no Hookbill, there aren't any Downers you haven't yet insulted. ;)

Ah, good. Glad to know I'm up to date. ;)

Just so you know, we're now just over a week away from seeing Alien's father! Trust me, it'll explain EVERYTHING!... Or nothing... Not sure which...

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Just so you know, we're now just over a week away from seeing Alien's father! Trust me, it'll explain EVERYTHING!... Or nothing... Not sure which...
Ooooh! The moment that every Phantom and Alien fan has been waiting for! I can't wait.

[Lalwendë]

Ah, good. Glad to know I'm up to date. ;)

Just so you know, we're now just over a week away from seeing Alien's father! Trust me, it'll explain EVERYTHING!... Or nothing... Not sure which...

Is this going to be his The Empire Strikes Back moment? ;)

[Inziladun]

Btw, if Volo were to meet with me privately (in a narrow alley behind the local solicitor's office) and make a small 'donation' to my favourite charity, all might be forgiven....

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Just so you know, we're now just over a week away from seeing Alien's father! Trust me, it'll explain EVERYTHING!... Or nothing... Not sure which...

Aiiiieeeeee... Alienin isä??? :eek: Scary. (Wait, there was something wrong there as well. Scary.) Anyway, I join the crowd of eagerly awaiting fans.

[Eönwë]

Just so you know, we're now just over a week away from seeing Alien's father! Trust me, it'll explain EVERYTHING!... Or nothing... Not sure which...

Alien's father? "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Or alternately, "Yes!"

Looking forward to that.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Maybe Alien's father is Phantom's father too! I'm guessing this because the bus company's ownership goes down from Phantom's ancestors to Alien's mother! That might explain why Alien lives with Phantom after he's dead.

[Hakon]

What if Phantom is Aliens father?

TGEW, I think you are right. That sounds better than Phantom being a father.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

What if Phantom is Aliens father?

TGEW, I think you are right. That sounds better than Phantom being a father.Phantom would be a horrible father, "Say, you want something to eat today? Sorry, I just can't be bothered. I'm too busy being cool."

Alien's plot to trick the Soap Pope into thinking Formy hasn't blown up his church continues...

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

Come back on Monday for more adventures from JOHN FILLIS. Next Thursday we'll finally get a look at who Alien's father is! :eek:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Doesn't Alien always make it himself?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Got to go to work in the morning so I can't do the whole midnight posting thing I usually do, so here's yer news. Folks.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Week160.png

John Fillis isn't having too great a time at the moment.
Shouldn't we send him a get well soon card?

http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/Episode%20031.png

It seems that a 'Get Showered Soon' card might be more appropriate.

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://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah)

It's fun, educational and leprosy inducing. Isn't that what every child wants for Christmas this year?

Incidentally, those of you following John Fillis' story will probably recall THIS (http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/Episode%20007.png) episode. Sorry John, but I'm afraid that 'the worst that could happen' is still to come. ;)

[Inziladun]

I confess to not having followed the comics closely up to now, but that really is a nice 'miasma' effect in the first panel.

[Eönwë]

Haha! As good as ever, Hooky! I especially like the "One hundred million" on page 10 million.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

It's fun, educational and leprosy inducing. Isn't that what every child wants for Christmas this year?
Well, if his name is Seth, then yes, that's what he wants for Christmas.

Oh, and the reason that Lauri was doing that is because she actually did ingest that mushroom! She was high, I tell you, high!:p

[Laurinquë]

Oh the things I do get up to when I forget to pay my sanity bill! If it were not for your reporting Hookbill I would never know what I did half the time. :rolleyes:

Oh, and the reason that Lauri was doing that is because she actually did ingest that mushroom! She was high, I tell you, high!:p

Lies! All lies! I did that afterward. And I did not eat the whole thing either, just a significant part of it. You of all people should remember that TGEW, as you consumed the rest of it.

Page Cheese
What kind of cheese would that be? Make it coastal cheddar and I will buy every copy printed.

[Eönwë]

What kind of cheese would that be? Make it coastal cheddar and I will buy every copy printed.

[small print] Cheese may not actually be included.[/small print]


or maybe it's just named Cheese? (I know of a certain alien who was named Beef once upon a time)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

(I know of a certain alien who was named Beef once upon a time)
But evidently, he's not an actual alien.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Now comes the moment to reveal Alien's father!!

Take a deep breath.

Look out for flying poop.

http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/Episode%20032.png

Come on! Alien's father is cool! Admit it!

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

Pretty soon we'll be heading into a flashback WITHIN a flasback. I've always wanted to do that. :)

[THE Ka]

You're blowing smoke in my eyes Hookbill, really?

Hrmmm. I think I'll pass on asking the obvious questions about how you end up with Alien out of those chromosomes...;)

~ Ka

[wilwarin538]

So........Alien is the missing link??? Haha.

Love it! :D

[Formendacil]

Hrmmm. I think I'll pass on asking the obvious questions about how you end up with Alien out of those chromosomes...;)

Recessive genes, obviously. Lots of them. Green ones, even. :p

[Boromir88]

Hrmmm. I think I'll pass on asking the obvious questions about how you end up with Alien out of those chromosomes...;)


He's got his father's eyes don't you think? Maybe Alien's substance is just the lipo from Ms Collins? :eek:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I'm surprised no one has commented on the leaking graph in the background. :D

Some of you may know the story of my original plan for P&A. My first idea was for it to be "The Phantom and Gorilla" but I soon discovered that I couldn't draw a gorilla. So, instead, I made a crude slime creature and called him 'Alien'. But I wanted to make a little homage to the duo that never was. Maybe one day we will see 'The Phantom and Gorilla'. Who knows.
Yeah, basically, that's why Alien's father is a gorilla. But they have the same bow-tie! That counts, right? :p

[Boromir88]

I'm surprised no one has commented on the leaking graph in the background. :D


To tell you the truth, the first time I saw the graph, like 2 weeks ago, or whenever it was, I thought the huge spike, but disastrous fall spilling onto the floor was hilarious, just never decided to comment on it. Not sure why I kept it to myself? :p

I see now that the puddle of (what liquid is it? blood? beef juice?) whatever is growing larger and larger.

[THE Ka]

Recessive genes, obviously. Lots of them. Green ones, even. :p


But they have the same bow-tie! That counts, right?

... And some bow-tie dominant genes too, for good measure?

He's got his father's eyes don't you think? Maybe Alien's substance is just the lipo from Ms Collins?

True, true... Dear me, I think we've just turned ourselves into a garage band group of eugenicists.

~ Ka

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Well, I saw the leaking graph in the background the first time I saw it!

[Laurinquë]

Don't forget the spontaneous combustion of the bus picture! I really DO adore all those background details. They make re-reading P&A so much fun! No more steaks lying around though, it's just so sad. :(

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Once again I'm forced to do a bit of early posting. Sorry about that.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Week161.png

Now, lets get back to Alien, Formy and the Soap Pope. I wonder what kind of craziness 'Old Woman of the Sea' can think up next...

On Thursday, John Fillis' mutation reaches dangerous new levels of strangeness. And by 'dangerous' I, of course, mean FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Oh, and the adorably baby Alien will be showing up pretty soon in a flashback starting next week. So look forward to that, all of you. ;)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Undercover Spy Suffocates Under Covers.
This is brilliant!

Mormegil's Roy Orbison impersonation is not much better than mine

[Boromir88]

I should have forseen something like this coming. :rolleyes:

Oh well, not as bad as I was anticipating. Nice stuff Hook. ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Sorry, Boro. Friending me on Facebook when you have an amusing picture uploaded there almost guarantees your appearance in the media. ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I've added a downloads page to the P&A website (http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/downloads.htm). I'll improve it over the next few days with more backgrounds and icons and stuff. But for now, here's a preview of the sort of stuff to expect...

http://i33.tinypic.com/hrbuw9.png
(A bigger version is on the website)
:D

I'll do most of the work tomorrow, so come back then to see the stuff. Hope some of you like it. Josh (my brother who does the art work now) really enjoyed doing that picture. Hope you do to. :)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

The Burning the Evidence one is now my desktop background. My parents didn't get it...:rolleyes:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Despite the lack of Oxon Downer this year, I'm thinking of getting a special P&A poster type thing made. I'm heading into town tomorrow to possibly get some printed by this place that does nice printings and stuff... yes.
If you're at Oxonmoot, I'll happily give you one. Any I have left over I'll... I don't know... keep as prizes for a P&A related competition of some sort. How about that? :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

It's Phalian time again!

Come back on Monday for the further discussion between Peter and Miss Collins. There may be a flashback!! Will we find out why Alien was sent to Formy's Soapy Church? Probably not. ;)

[Lindale]

Fillis reminded me of the weird girl-eating horse in Brothers Grimm, which I watched as a kid, and gave me nightmares :eek:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

The bit with Alien thrown in at the end was nice. Does he know what is going on with John Fillis? Is there a psychic connexion? Is Alien related to an Ood?:p

[Laurinquë]

Oh wonderful. Now I have another creature to add to my list of rational fears! (Yes, fearing John Fillis IS rational!) :rolleyes:

[THE Ka]

After having to spend all last afternoon in the uni reptile museum, Mr. Fillis' jaw reminds me of a snake... A lot.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

An early Downer because I'm more tired than a sloth after staying up all night. Thank you, Oxonmoot.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Week162.png

And now we head towards some explanations. The upcoming flashback should make this story much less confusing. :)

I've also updated the character pages for The Phantom and Alien to include some of their Volume Three back story. Hope it helps you see it all in a new, if strange, light. I'll try and update the other characters as I go along.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Oooh! And I guess that the next P and A with Peter in it is going to go through the flash back! Lovely!:D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Oh Soap! I forgot to thank Formy for his article this week! Sorry about that. :( Moot times appear to have melted my brain a little.
Everyone give Formy some rep for being funny this week. :)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Everyone give Formy some rep for being funny this week. :)He'll have to post on this thread first.:p

[Formendacil]

He'll have to post on this thread first.:p

And have it look like I'm needy for more rep? That would be quite tasteless of me, don't you think? And not the sort of thing the Mods smile on.

Exactly the sort of thing that might turn up in a rag like The Downer, in fact.

So, really, one shouldn't be so absurd!

[Morai]

Loved, loved, loved P & A this week. "When your father owned this company...I hated him!" I didn't expect it at all. And the lines just before the flashback, hilarious.

[wilwarin538]

Wow, Boro, first the Llama and now a Bear, :p.

"Notoriously Canadian" that's too funny!!!

Loved how tiny Phantom looks compared to Miss Collins, haha.

[Boromir88]

I think my favorite bit is the outrageous inflation of the reward after discovering the true rumor. :p

So you don't want rep?:p

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Although I am happy to see Edward the Confessor appearing in the newspaper, I did expect him to take up more space.

"Did you know that Edward the Confessor build Geneva airport entirely out of jam?"

[Formendacil]

So you don't want rep?:p

Of course I don't want any neg-rep!

(You failed to specify what kind of rep I deserve... and we Downer reporters know how society treats us--like scum and villainy!)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Of course I don't want any neg-rep!

(You failed to specify what kind of rep I deserve... and we Downer reporters know how society treats us--like scum and villainy!)
You obviously don't know about most of your fans. Oh, Writers for the Downer Newspaper. Which, I sometimes am a part of.

I understand you not wanting neg reps, however, I've never given out a neg rep. I don't want to stop my flow.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

It's time to travel back a further five years. Back to when Father Formy was a happier man. A man with less worries. Oh dear...

On Monday we'll get to meet Peter's Father, him being the previous owner of Bus Co. He, unlike Collins, could fit into the chair behind the desk. But did he do a good job? Well, there's only one way to find out...

[wilwarin538]

Haha, I'd feel bad for that puppy if it wasn't for the fact that Alien looks super cute while eating it! hehe :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Josh, in a fit of panic, updated the picture he did for Oxonmoots. I quite like the look of it so I'll post it here. There may be a bigger version on the website eventually.

http://i33.tinypic.com/35ibrwz.png

Well, that makes everyone happy, doesn't it? Doesn't it?
Some of the characters here haven't appeared yet, but they will. THEY WILL!

[Eönwë]

I'm sure I speak for at least a few when I say that I'm excited to find out who the "Guard" is (or at least what he's guarding).

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I'm sure I speak for at least a few when I say that I'm excited to find out who the "Guard" is (or at least what he's guarding).

It's a Downer and it's a She. ;)

I think Joshua's monitor is darker than mine because her hair is supposed to be a darker shade of brown. :rolleyes:
I just noticed that there are THREE Aliens in this picture. Oh dear. That can't be a good situation.

[Eönwë]

It's a Downer and it's a She. ;)

Oh, now I see who it is. But I still retain my excitement for what she's guarding.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Oh, now I see who it is. But I still retain my excitement for what she's guarding.

It's news time. Thanks to events beyond my control it's going to be an early one again.

On Thursday we carry on with this strangeness! Miss Collins' plans to take over Bus Corp may soon become apparent. They're not dreadfully complex, I assure you. But what is, in P&A?

[Eönwë]

I loved the 'Downer this week, Hooky.

And P&A is amazing. As well as the ending/punchline/you know, I liked all the "spot the difference"-style background. And the newspaper in general. And everything else. One of my favourite episodes.

[wilwarin538]

Hehe, Philip!!!!!


Wonderful, sooo funny! Like the changing NOTES thing in the background, hehe. :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Wonderful, sooo funny! Like the changing NOTES thing in the background, hehe. :D

Notes is the fake currency I invented for the P&A world. There are 3 Stoats in a Groat and 49 Groats in a Note. One Note, at the current exchange rate, is worth, roughly £1.00000010000000000002 approximately.

Dear Professor Hakon, The Downer Newspaper, and Affiliates,

I would like to know, how shall the move of Gondor take place? This might be problematic for the citizens, I mean if you move them, will you be able to move Minas Tirith and other important cities and landmarks too? If not, where will all of the Gondorians live? They must have homes, at least boxes to live in. Shouldn't this mistake done by the cartographers be amended by more efficient and reasonable methods?

Yours,
A Troubled Resident of Middle-Earth.

I applaud Esty going from drinking to the wholesome past time of kiddie snatching. Children and the public never get along.:p

Though, I was curious whether any were available for loan, you know, just for the use of a decoy in WW? I have a rather unfortunate affliction of sneakiness that I want to distract with the insufferable innocence of a child's cuteness. It's a sure way to survive voting in the future.

Dear Professor Hakon, The Downer Newspaper, and Affiliates,

I would like to know, how shall the move of Gondor take place? This might be problematic for the citizens, I mean if you move them, will you be able to move Minas Tirith and other important cities and landmarks too? If not, where will all of the Gondorians live? They must have homes, at least boxes to live in. Shouldn't this mistake done by the cartographers be amended by more efficient and reasonable methods?

Yours,
A Troubled Resident of Middle-Earth.

We propose to bribe Sauron to use his mighty powers and shiny ring to erect all new cities in the new location. The cartographers cannot amend their mistake for they are all dead. When the King of Gondor found out he had them killed. It is truly a shame. I hope I have answered all your questions concerned citizen.

Professor Hakon

Our flashback continues!!

Philip Hampton has a meeting with the young Soap Pope. Miss Collins appears to be making something of a plan...

Come back on Monday for the further adventures of Philip and Miss Collins. Then there will be one last episode in the past of the past before we go back to the, um, normal past? Future? Thing. Stupid time differential.

[wilwarin538]

oh nooooo, does that mean Philip never comes back??? :eek:

Loves it! :D

Yes... and no... mostly yes. ;)

[Bêthberry]

Notes is the fake currency I invented for the P&A world. There are 3 Stoats in a Groat and 49 Groats in a Note. One Note, at the current exchange rate, is worth, roughly £1.00000010000000000002 approximately.

But how much is a goat?


The same as a boat. That could float. In a Moat. :D

Not to bloat the thread or anything, but you could coat your floating currency with many a pretty doting quote.

And I pray you, good m'lord, smote me not for this revolting thought. :D

Of further note, I vote that floating groats for doting on quotes with rote emotes does indeed bloat like a mote-eyed stoat in a sinking boat on a moat, or perhaps an oat compote stuck in one's throat.

I will take note of that quote which you have wrote, with a pencil from a pocket in your coat.

On Thursday we have one last flashback episode before we turn back to the normal story line. So look forward to more from Formy, Alien, Cardinal Mardinal and the Soap Pope.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

More specifically: It was pollution rather than porter (stout).

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Miss Collins! How could she do that? The megalomaniac!

[The Elf-warrior]

I liked that duck lurking in the background of the picture of the smoky bottle incident. Who knows what sinister schemes that creature is scheming?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It is the Duck of Doom, which I did not pick up in a dungeon!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Miss Collins! How could she do that? The megalomaniac!

I don't think anyone who ever owns the Bus Company is anything BUT a megalomaniac. Or an insane person in some way. ;)

Ducks a tricky creatures. I mean, I've never seen one. Do they even exist? :eek:

True, true...

[Morai]

They exist where I live, but the existence of my home is questionable.

The last part of the flashback, folks.

On Monday we get back to Alien, Formy and the Soap Pope. I wonder what they're up to... Probably burning down the restaurant. ;)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I hope that was the Downer Newspaper.

[Bêthberry]

Josh, in a fit of panic, updated the picture he did for Oxonmoots. I quite like the look of it so I'll post it here. There may be a bigger version on the website eventually.

http://i33.tinypic.com/35ibrwz.png

Well, that makes everyone happy, doesn't it? Doesn't it?
Some of the characters here haven't appeared yet, but they will. THEY WILL!

Nice update, but my own copy is nicer, except it didn't come with an auto-graph. Where may I lodge a loud and vociferous and thoroughly obnoxious complaint? :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I hope that was the Downer Newspaper.

'Fraid not. It was THE ROUNDER (http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/Episode%20037.png). A much more 'realistic' paper that has more truth on it's pages. The fact that it is more fictional than the Downer is irrelevant... um...

I assure you though, The Downer is the most truthful newspaper in the world!

Time to get your daily dose of facts...

Weekly...


Whatever...

On Thursday we'll see how Peter managed to survive through the flashback. How do you think he did it?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Wonderful. If I took a flamethrower to my food in a restaurant, would I get thrown out?

[Morai]

Speaking of Fire, I would love to read the page on fire...as long as someone else was holding it. :o

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Wonderful. If I took a flamethrower to my food in a restaurant, would I get thrown out?

It depends if you were using it in a culinary way or not. The chef wouldn't like it if you were. You'd be moving in on his turf, so to speak.

Speaking of Fire, I would love to read the page on fire...as long as someone else was holding it.

That happens also to be the page that the Newspaper puzzle answers are on. So you have to do them quick! :eek:

[THE Ka]

Well, with trousers like the man's in the article, you better make exceptions... Those trousers have earned a spot in their own wardrobe.


You'd be moving in on his turf, so to speak.

Where I used to work, you'd probably end up with his job anyways. So go ahead, is my advice.:smokin:
Just don't light the poor server on fire too. We seriously don't taste as well as Gordon Ramsay would have you think.

Only if the server were my little brother, then I would have to light him on fire (he is throwing things on the keyboard right now). I wasn't aware that Gordon Ramsay thought that servers taste good. He's kind of annoying anyway. I'll just have him light on fire.

Come back on Monday to see how the Soap Pope reacts to Formy's lack of a church.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Ya it will be great if they both get active on this forum... and share their exp. with gaming...

Soap Pope and Form? Sure ;) Or Peter Hampton and Miss Collins? Definitely. (I love Metris blocks getting in Stack-Man's way, though :D Lovely!!!!!)

[wilwarin538]

Killed his mother?? :eek: Hope it goes back to explain that!!! More flashbacks!!!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Maybe she just accidentally sat on her... [/spoilers :D ]

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Killed his mother?? :eek: Hope it goes back to explain that!!! More flashbacks!!!

It will be addressed, but not in flashback, I'm afraid. Just so you know, though, that particular part of his back story will get more complex before it gets simpler... um...

I did notice, however, that a lot of Phantom's history and reasons for being how he is is explained while NOTHING is explained about Alien. This is probably for the best. We don't want to encourage anyone now, do we? ;)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

That's because unbeknownst to the general Downs population, Alien is actually a reflection of you, Hookbill.:p

[Laurinquë]

Killed his mother?? :eek: Hope it goes back to explain that!!! More flashbacks!!!

No doubt Miss Collins just let her drown in all of that Notes juice that seems to be filling up the place! That stuff is probably responsible for the deaths of hundreds of former employees.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

The Downer, always reporting the facts straight to your face. Are they true facts? You decide!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/JoelCornah/Week166.png

Now Alien and Formy face some Soapy wrath!

http://joelcornah.webs.com/Episode%20043.png

Oh dear! You have to expect that sort of thing if you hand around Alien for too long.

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

It's all about to reach a pivotal point in the story. Things are heading towards the firs big climax of this series and there will be more to come. So... Keep on the look out for more Phailian!

[Laurinquë]

There goes the Old Woman of the Sea look! What look could be next in the exclusive Alien fashion line I wonder? :eek:

And Squatter's been bin stealing? Really! Young criminals these days, they have no shame! But this does explain the disappearance of the rubbish bin at work today, I was beginning to think Alien had tried to add it to his personal collection again - it's a very valuable specimen after all.

So as you can see, your newspaper (aside from being 100% TRUTH!) is an irreplaceable part of the Barrow-Downs. Where would we be without it? Probably ignorant about the virtues of the great and holy rubbish bin and definitely very bored. Just thought I'd thank you for all your industrious reporting, we love it! :D

[Oddwen]

I love how the Soap Pope bleeds pink...and bubbly. :D

[hcm2009]

That's because unbeknownst to the general Downs population, Alien is actually a reflection of you, Hookbill.:p

Hi all!
I've just visited this forum. Happy to get acquainted with you. Thanks.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Wow. Being quoted by a spammer, that must mean that it was either a really bad post, or I am a really bad poster. Or both!:eek:

[Bêthberry]

Knives and forks will never replace pie fights.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Knives and forks will never replace pie fights.

Flinging pies into someone else's face really is the only way for a gentleman to eat them. It's right there in the big book of etiquette.
You also have to roll around in custard afterwards. It's polite.

By the way, P&A fans, the Soap Pope's name is actually going to be revealed in an upcoming episode. Even though he's dead... Yes...

[Inziladun]

By the way, P&A fans, the Soap Pope's name is actually going to be revealed in an upcoming episode. Even though he's dead... Yes...

I wish to register a personal complaint regarding the 'Soap Pope'. Once I read that name, it gets into my head and refuses to leave for several hours. :eek:

It's all getting out of hand! Come back on Thursday to find out the Soap Pope's name when we visit... THE BATHICAN!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

PANIC, PANIC, PANIC, PANIC!!!!:eek:
Okay, I'm done with that now.

[Pitchwife]

World's Tallest Mountain Retires
The Ministery of Geology denies this. According to high-placed sources, Mr William Everest (affectionately called 'Billy' by his friends) and his charming wife Ethel, née Tree, are merely going on a long-deserved holiday and are expected back in a few million years. Their representatives, Messrs Zappa, Volman & Kaylan, are quoted as confirming that the couple's global sightseeing tour will include a visit to New York. Metropolitan authorities have commenced work on planning how to provide accomodation for Mr and Mrs Everest without endangering public safety. Given that the lofty guests' arrival in NYC isn't expected within the next 500 millennia, they should have ample time for taking appropriate steps, so there's no need for the population to panic quite yet.

Now, you Finish Downers might have a vested interest in the next episode. A special appearance from a familiar Downer will be making a SHOCK cameo. Will he / she be annoyed by Pete? Will he have him / her thrown out of a window? Well, he is that kind of guy. ;)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Cardinal Mardinal was so mean, he finally got what was coming to him.

Davem. So he died first?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Cardinal Mardinal was so mean, he finally got what was coming to him.

Oh he's not done with yet, I assure you. ;)
Do you think Formy will make a good Pope? I think he would! :cool: Although, I'm not sure if he'll appreciate having soap running down his face... But you never know, he might be into that...

[wilwarin538]

Oh Hooky, this was wonderful, really made my day. :) Just didn't realise the Soap Pope was supposed to be Davem, must have missed that...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Oh Hooky, this was wonderful, really made my day. :) Just didn't realise the Soap Pope was supposed to be Davem, must have missed that...

Um, if I'm honest, I only decided that when writing this episode. :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Cardinal Mardinal was so mean, he finally got what was coming to him.
Oh he's not done with yet, I assure you. ;)
Ha, I'm wondering then if it means that he is going to stay around or just reappear in some altered form... Hmm, I wonder if it was possible that some of the characters we know from elsewhere has something to do with him? *thinks of typical antagonists of the likes of General Crock-Face, who is still my fav*

Um, if I'm honest, I only decided that when writing this episode. :D

Haha. But pretty cool anyway!

But you never know, he might be into that...Oh brilliant! I can't wait to see what he does when he comes back. Does Cardinal Mardinal come back dead? :D

And Formy would make a fantastic Pope! With the soap, of course.

Oh, I forgot to mention earlier, loved the Bathican!

[Formendacil]

And Formy would make a fantastic Pope! With the soap, of course.

Soap! But that would imply that Formy occasionally bathes or showers--or at least rinses a little! What preposterous nonsense! I know all there is to know about Formy and more, and I assure y---

Erm, I mean...

Even if we're merely discussing comic alter egos, I feel entirely inadequate to succeed the great Davem, and honoured to considered for the position.

We need a soapy smiley. A soapey. :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Getting tired of not knowing what's going on? Well, we at the Downer are too. We may fix that one day. But for now...

[wilwarin538]

Haha, love how much that actually looks like Lommy.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

It indeed does :D I assumed it was her when I saw the Guard on the "promo-pic" (but then I think more people did).

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

It soon became apparent that this was not a metaphor.
That was the best part!

I love how those bullets just ricochet off of Miss Collins.

In other news,

Anyone who does not believe in soap has got to be pretty darn smelly. That's all I can say. :D

[HerenIstarion]

Excuse my cheek, but what has belief to do with bathing? One can use soap all right without actually worshipping it... :rolleyes:

[Formendacil]

Excuse my cheek, but what has belief to do with bathing? One can use soap all right without actually worshipping it... :rolleyes:

If I may interject my cheek--why need belief in something lead to worship? I mean, I believe that bagels exist, but I don't worship them--I don't even particularly like them. :p

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Anyone who does not believe in soap has got to be pretty darn smelly. That's all I can say. :D

I think that actually fits Alien pretty well, doesn't it? :) Or at least I always had that impression (that does not substract anything from the fact that he is cute, though :) Well, though it is true we don't have to smell the newspaper yet...).

[Bêthberry]

What! Are all your journalists cockneys or something? Really, the decline in the standard of the news this week is utterly depressing. :mad:

It was "Stand at ease, Ghosties" I said, which of course explains the alleged lack of organisation or preparedness amongst the Conspirators.


Well, though it is true we don't have to smell the newspaper yet...).

Don't give The Editor ideas. ;) Next Oxonmoot we might get our P & A cartoons on scented paper--and it might be doubtful if it would be athelas we'll be smelling. :D

I will go to prison for this, even if I die in the attempt. Does anyone think it's silly to think that way, if so, will you join in my attempt to dig my way in using only teaspoons.

Now, this was the 50th episode of volume 3. Because I'm not binding myself to a limited number (like the last two), I didn't make this a special episode. (Though, any episode with Formy is always special... Isn't it?) But I can't let it go without something. SO... I'VE MADE A MID-SEASON TRAILER FOR YOU ALL!
There are some surprises in store...

Eeek! Into the desert? I wasn't expecting THAT to happen! :eek: But I'm afraid I cannot place Peter's new 'friend'. I'll just have to wait and find out.

Oh yes, I remember her from that. I thought you meant she was a Barrow-Downer you were introducing as a new character. Might still be though, I like her style. She seems to be the only sane person in the entire city and thus must be a truly formidable person indeed. ;)

Get your face ready to be pummelled with pure FACTS! It's news time!

It'll all make sense one day... Or not. Considering this is Alien we're talking about, it will probably NEVER make sense. Oh well. You're used to that now, right?

[wilwarin538]

hehe, I love that so much.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

This is exactly why Alien should never be allowed near the name changing office. Who knows who else has had their name changed by him? Things could get very confusing, very quickly. ;)

[Aganzir]

Hookie, did you perchance draw inspiration for the Old Woman of the Sea from me? ;)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hookie, did you perchance draw inspiration for the Old Woman of the Sea from me? ;)

Haha! Why? Do you live under the sea? :p
I just asked Josh to 'draw the old woman of the sea, who looks a bit like Alien's costume, only a bit different.' and that's what he came up with. But now that you mention it, she does look a bit like... Um... Never mind. :o

[Oddwen]

Sooooo...are we looking at another member of Alien's extended family, or does this new nightmare just resemble Alien in Father Formy's fevered imagination?

Interesting thought. Who knows what lurks in Alien's strange and terrible family history?

[Laurinquë]

Dogs to replace notes as national currency for the next seven hours

But they are worth so little on today's market! I will have to sell my neighbour's entire collection to buy more beef! :eek:

Good newspaper by the way, though I am a little late in saying so.

[Morai]

Agreed. I Loved the plot development in P & A as well. Oh, and the headlines were punny too.:Merisu:

Interestingly enough, a certain Downer once named me a Sea Hag. I think our resemblance is clear enough even though I don't wear nail polish. ;)

Wooh! I don't know if you've noticed, but I always leave the titles of upcoming episodes on the website, just as teasers. If you have, then you'll know that this story line, 'The Desert' is three parts, followed by another three parter, 'New Management'. There aren't that many multi-part bits in this volume, but they're always important plot points. With one exception, actually, later on which was due to a mix up. :D

[Eönwë]

The headlines this were almost as cloudy as the weather outside right now!

And they should know by now, they need 84 buses to carry Miss Collins's lunch.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

And they should know by now, they need 84 buses to carry Miss Collins's lunch.

Looks like Lommy will have to sit on top of the bus instead; that way they might just have enough room.
But don't forget, Alien is at Bus HQ now, so he'll probably eat (or possibly burn) all the food before it gets to her anyway. ;)

[Boromir88]

[QUOTE=Aganzir;618399]Interestingly enough, a certain Downer once named me a Sea Hag. I think our resemblance is clear enough even though I don't wear nail polish. ;)
[QUOTE]

Whoever was that person, I question their judgement. I see no comparison between the two:

1. The sea hag is green and wrinkly. You are not.
2. The sea hag has a perm, which is obviously a wig.
3. The sea hag has an expression that looks like she can eat anything within her reach. You have a deep concentration on someone (or something) that looks like you want to hit with lightning bolts out of your hands.

The similarities are the water, the nails, and I might give you a similar hair color. I imagine your hair could have a silver-ish looking tone depending upon the day and lighting. But it is a nice elvish-silver, not the formerly white washcloth that was used so much it has an off-white/dirty grey color such as the sea hag's hair.

On Monday we see The Desert Part Three! With some truly shocking revelations. Hope they surprise you. But there are bigger and more life changing episodes yet to come, so fear not!

[Pitchwife]

An intriguing question I've stumbled across in my studies of the previous volumes (preceding my addiction to P&A) in the Archives: when, where and how did Lommy metamorph from a penguin-masked human guard to the full-fledged penguin we meet in Vol.2? Are we going to see this story?

Yes that IS explained! Most of the main character's deaths are dealt with. We've already had Davem's. ;)

Want the facts? Then look no further.

Honestly, the phantom must be rolling with glee at all this media attention...

The biggest plot twist of the series is coming up fast. On Thursday we get to see what Alien's been up to in his meeting with his mother. How can she deal with him and how will he convince her to give him money for his musical tour? After all, he needs to get people to listen to his hit songs. They're hits, you know.

I've re-loaded the page five times, looked at "Archive Thing" latest episode page, and every time all my computer will display is a big empty space where this week's P&A should be. What am I going to do? :( It works for all the other P&As, but not this one. *sobs*

It works! Thank you. I don't know why that happens either, but I do know that my computer is very reluctant to load any picture posted through tinypic.com. Does anyone else out there have problems viewing this P&A I wonder?

By the way, the Downer this week was really cute. It amused me greatly. ;)

I've added another desktop picture to the P&A Downloads page (http://joelcornah.webs.com/downloads.htm).

When we were making this Thursday's episode my brother and I had a long discussion about weather Alien should be wearing a cartoon love heart costume or a real human heart costume. In the end we went for the cartoon version, but the real-style one was also drawn for you amusement. Now you can have it as a background image, if you like. :)

Peter Hampton has problems with authority. I wonder if the mysterious voice that minds of he takes over is Peter's father. . .

Yes, I do.
Did Peter just kill his own father? Or is that his him speaking there? The plot thickens!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Did Peter just kill his own father?

No, he just killed General Crock-Face. Poor guy. It'll become clear why he ended up with a crocodile face when we meet Death later in the series.
The very clever amongst you may have spotted that on the comic archive there is a list of the upcoming episode titles. There is a small spoiler hidden in them.

Okay then.

1. Will Peter kill his father?

No, because his father stole Frodo's mithril shirt.

2. What will Alien do with the Bus company?

Rope the buses together and use them as a traveling stage for his musical act.

3. How will John Filis get better?

He won't; he'll just mutate into a giant talking carrot. Which I suppose is better...

Daleks invent new kind of soup sweetener
sally will be pleased to hear that, I hope. Maybe that'll provide some inspiration for her upcoming Dr Who Werewolf game...
Will Peter kill his father?
Well, every archetypal hero has to confront/do battle with his/her father figure at some point*, don't they? I'm sure Joseph Campbell wrote something of the like somewhere... Witness Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader... (Seriously, I should go to bed.)

Barnacles.

Fear them! But really, I think you're going to have to work a bit harder to convert me to your barnacle-fearing ways. They still haven't reached the threshold we agreed upon of 600 million 'fatalities'. Their filter-feeding action is just not frightening enough, even if what they're filtering is you. I escaped by the way, one of their pulleys broke and I agreed to fix it in exchange for my freedom. But all in all, amazing article. You too Hookbill, I liked the wig. I want it for a pet.
