In what volume did Alien's mother appear?

Anyway, if that woman in pink is Alien's mother, how come Alien is as he is?

Honestly, I sometimes wonder why I even bothered making the comic archive. :p

She appeared in Volume One Episode Sixty One. As Phantom points out, this just raises further questions. :eek:

Anyway, here's your Friday P&A.

That can't be me... I know bread is real..... as are the colours red, blue and green. The colour yellow is a mystical experience shared by everyone.... and beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy...

If you like facts and NEWS, then The Downer probably isn't for you...

In case anyone needs a recap, here's the story so far of The Phantom and Alien;

The Phantom was fired from his job and so decided to try and fake his own death. Before he got a chance to he was taken in by The Hoody Cloaky Group. They had an ulterior motive for taking him in as it turned out they wanted to kill him.
Meanwhile, Lalwende forced Alien to apologize to PC Eomer for messing up his office. When they got to his house, it had been blown up. Lal decided that there is probably a massive conspiracy going on and enlists Alien's help for his special knowledge of explosives. The trail leads them to Suspicious Bob's oats, but the boss, Mr Namshif, is always hidden behind a wall. When they are attacked in their own office, they discover that some people with hoody cloaky things don't want them investigating the oat factory.
Alien goes to visit The Phantom and follows him to The Hoody Colaky Group's hideout, which he promptly destroys. The group is desperate for a new location and it falls on The Phantom to open up his house to them. Meanwhile, Alien and Lal discover that Mr Namshif is not the rightful owner of Bob's Oats and so go to find his house. On the way, they see an explosion.
Purple Pete, one of the Hoody Cloakies, eats a whole jar of Alien's Exploding Beans, supposedly killing them all. The Phantom was outside (getting wine) at the time. There was one survivor; THE GREAT FISH MAN.
Reporting the explosion to the Police, The Phantom found himself being arrested, but then let out by Mr Gross, his old boss.

Alien and Lalwende continue their investigation into the strange Mr Namshif...

For a fuller and funnier recap, do look at the COMIC ARCHIVE. It did take me a long time to make, and I've redesigned some of it. :)

I have tried to gain social status with many animals
 
Lies! Lies and Slanger!

The bagpipes was for my wombat who has trouble sleeping. . .get your information right. I don't go around telling people that Hookbill the Goomba has steel ankles and that he needs them in order to stand upright, now do I?

Anyway is there anybody interestet in buying a drowsy badger?

Thinlómien 02-02-2009 07:34 AM

Hahahaa, the articles made me laugh. :D

Rune, I can adopt your badger if it's physically and MENTALLY healthy... :p

Valesse 02-02-2009 10:15 AM

And should it not be mentally or physically healthy I'm sure I could give it a good... home.

Before reading this issue I had no idea ironing boards were so headstrong! Granted I disagree with the "down with ironing boards" movement and feel that it was justified in taking those lives, but ruining that sacrifice is disgraceful! I truly feel for you and your loss of the loss of your sister, Thinlo, and Greenie of course.

Hookbill the Goomba 02-02-2009 02:31 PM

Hey, Phantom and Alien fans; do you want to see an exclusive preview of VOLUME 3: THE LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN BUS TICKET?
Well, here it is!

IT'S AMAZING, EXCITING, AND SICKENING!

Yeah. Basically, I left one of my empty templates on my desk and a sibling got to it. That'll teach me. :D

The tragedy is that I was drawing comics like that in high school. Of course, I would like to think it was more of a laziness issue than my drawing ablilities. :o

Inziladun 02-02-2009 08:49 PM

To show how on top of things I am, I will say I just noticed the 'story' on me in Week # 515. Come on! Who hasn't dreamt of tasting concrete anyway?

Hookbill the Goomba 02-04-2009 12:41 PM

It's your second Phalian of the week. May it make you happy! :)

If you've forgotten, or missed episodes, LOOK AT MY LOVELY ARCHIVE OF DOOM! ;)

Legate of Amon Lanc 02-04-2009 01:16 PM

Oh no! Now what a revelation! :eek: Or, rather... covering... (am I the only stupid one who did not get that until now? :D )

Groin Redbeard 02-05-2009 09:07 AM

Wow! that would explain the the fish emblem around the Fish Man's neck. What a twist in the plot!

Hookbill the Goomba 02-06-2009 10:42 AM

Alien and Lal continue their investigation. It seems to be going around in circles.

READ THE COMIC ARCHIVE IF IT MAKES NO SENSE!

See you on Monday. :)

Legate of Amon Lanc 02-06-2009 10:51 AM

Oh, that was on this... what was it called... something... Bunny road, again? :D

Hey, I can't wait for another one :) *addicted to P&A?!?*

Groin Redbeard 02-06-2009 05:33 PM

I think that the place is called the Happy, Fluffy Bunny Trail.:) This one made me laugh so hard!

Eönwë 02-07-2009 09:05 AM

The last one made me laugh.

This week's downer could be more costly than usual...

The Phantom thinks he has a new job. The Fish Man has other ideas.

I'm not paying more than the regular 20 gold bars, I'll have you know...

Inziladun 02-10-2009 04:05 PM

Hanging Morthoron by his own entrails seems a bit harsh. Death by egging, perhaps (the hard-boiled ones)?

Morthoron 02-10-2009 07:36 PM

Pffft...Silly Downers. I am a Barrow-wight, thus I have no entrails.

Inziladun 02-10-2009 09:07 PM

Good point. I suppose Old Bombadil will just have to sing and prance about to put you in your place.

Hookbill the Goomba 02-11-2009 01:51 AM

Your second Phantom and Alien is here! This time, Lal and Alien meet a strange creature in the sewers. It's disgusting. :p

Ha! I was waiting for this one, and it's even above meeting my expectations. And nice cameo appearance. (Recently, I have been checking which characters who made appearances in the past have not appeared again yet. Good!)

(And the last one was great too. By the way, I forgot to comment: Phantom looks cute on the first two - his eyes are in a weird place.)

Well, like I said, fantastic :) but with the risk of sounding repetitive... I can't wait for another one!!!

Thinlómien 02-11-2009 12:51 PM

Heehee... :D If I didn't like my current location so much, I'd consider changing it into "in the sewers". ;)

PS. I'm cute. :D

I'm so excited to see that this is still going on!:D You're so brilliant Hookbill!!! I have to go back and see what's been happening, cause they're not making much sense to me right now, haha.

My face is too big? Well, heck, I could've told you that. :D But, heavens, I never thought it could provoke a bloodbath...!

Wait... then again, there were the brawls with my brothers... and local bullies... and the clawmarks I left...

Never mind.
