I am guessing it is the Soap Pope.

Perhaps it is John Fillis?
I bet that Hookbill finds these guessing games amusing, for he does know what's happening next. Our guesses must look rather silly.

Not really. It makes me happy to see people guessing about what's happening; right or wrong, it's encouraging. But, this is the Barrow Downs and its full of big brains, so it's hard to keep everyone in the dark. ;)

Hakon 07-28-2009 04:32 PM

Well if one of the guesses is correct then it is far from silly.

Well, that's good! I agree with you there, the BD is chock full of very clever people, unfortunately, not all of us are very clever (like me.)

Hakon 07-28-2009 04:38 PM

TGEW, do not beat yourself up over being clever. Cause you are probably being clever right now by making that last post and saying you are not. That way someone is all nice and feels bad for you. You gain a lot from that. Genius idea. Now I am jealous that I did not think of something like that.

You, jealous of me? I cannot even imagine it! If I said I was the cleverest person in the entire Universe, would that make me loose something?;)

Hakon 07-28-2009 04:43 PM

If you start feeling arrogant about being clever then I can no longer be jealous of you.

Okay, I'll remember that!

With Formy stressing over the Soap Pope's immanent visit, Alien has a visitation from someone of very like mind.

http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/Episode%20018.png

Don't you just love future!Alien? I do. He's so... um... different?



On Monday John Fillis is shown to the Bus Room! :eek:

TheGreatElvenWarrior 07-29-2009 05:28 PM

Didn't Future!Alien come in Volume 2? Still, time travel is strange like that...
I love how Formy has totally given up on everything!

wilwarin538 07-29-2009 05:32 PM

I love how mesmerized present Alien looks when he sees Future!Alien, hehe, it's sooooo cute!!!

So I guess he grows some adult teeth at some point, haha, and loses the bow tie....too bad, I like the bow tie....

I like bow ties! They are always good! Present Alien is cute, I have to say, I don't really want one though...

Why does the hat say Tiem?

Yep. Alien's adventures with time travel aren't over. Indeed, his appearance in volume 2 was one of his last trips, I think. (You'll notice the label is still on at this point, so it's quite an early trip).

Oh, I see! Alien does quite a lot of Time Travel. Will he go into a parallel universe too?

... No... Yes... Yes and no... It's complicated... :o

Hakon 07-29-2009 06:01 PM

Send him to the universe that those aliens in Peter Jackson's new movie are from.

Does this have something to do with Wibbly, wobbly, timey wimey stuff? ;)
I hope that Alien doesn't blow a hole in the Space Time Continuum with this time travel!:eek:

Hookbill the Goomba 08-02-2009 05:03 PM

News is like a child. Noisy, smelly and it may try to bite your fingers if you get too close. Science is still trying to work out exactly why this is...

If anyone wants to send in stories for the front page, please feel free. I don't want to feel so drained at the prospect of writing a full front page every single week. :p

Anyway, Peter Hampton is now going to take you into the realm of Buses!

http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/Episode%20019.png

How many Buses are there? Well, only the boss would know that... Maybe.



It's just occurred to me that I missed the third birthday both of The Downer and The Phantom and Alien. Poop. Oh well, I'll try and make up for it at Christmas or something. We've got another cartoon in the works.

McCaber 08-02-2009 07:08 PM

I'd totally drive Bus #G. And that "Obey" sign just hanging on the wall there is hilarious.

I must be watching too much Top Gear lately, because whenever I see Hammond Skull mentioned, all I can think of is Jeremy Clarkson yelling to his co-host.

wilwarin538 08-02-2009 07:49 PM

I love the random piano that always manages to make it's way into the background....

TheGreatElvenWarrior 08-02-2009 08:27 PM

Brilliant! I've been eagerly waiting for this all week long! The last mini headline was the best EVER!

One of them was Bus # √-1
That was my favourite. :D

Do keep an eye on John Fillis, by the way. He's not looking too well at the moment, is he...

TheGreatElvenWarrior 08-03-2009 09:44 PM

Looks like there was a bus number Pi? That is the bus I want!

narfforc 08-04-2009 12:34 AM

Who drives Bus 666?

Lindale 08-04-2009 04:06 AM

Bus number √-1? It's driving me nuts.

4th last scene, where it says 'Ha! Here's 74." It's the last bus in that row. :) Kinda hard to see though.

I wanted bus # pi! But it seems TGEW already claimed it, :p. I'll go with bus # -3 I suppose, haha.

There'll be more of them next Monday, don't worry. There's enough to go around. I mean, there's only Four Drivers after all. ;)

I think you just got more. Your four drivers will have to contend with us Downers to get those buses!

The Four Drivers of the Apocalypse????

Laurinquë 08-04-2009 11:50 PM

Do I detect a faint orange tinge to the back of John Fillis's neck? :eek: And then there is the matter of his humped back. . . It may be too late for him now.

Perhaps he actually ate some of that food with the eyestalk back in Episode 11!

Hookbill the Goomba 08-06-2009 10:55 AM

I forgot it was Thursday. Sorry everyone! Here's Alien's latest adventure...

http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/Episode%20020.png

Don't forget about...

THE PHANTOM AND ALIEN'S
COMIC ARCHIVE OF DOOM!


It's fun times, but on the internet!

Nessa Telrunya 08-07-2009 06:52 AM

I've just discovered the wonders of The Phantom and Alien. Alien is so cute when he has that vacant expression!

Yea. XD I'm busy catching up with the first two volumes on your site. Great job with the comics! I love how random Downers manage to show up.
