Well, you might just want to. :p Moving is good for you, some say at least.

And I ne'er knew you were a man, Lottie. ;)

Neither did I! It certainly surprised me when I found out. ;)

I'm sure that it did! It would surprise me too if all of a sudden I were a man because the newspaper said so. And the Downer Newspaper only reports the truest of facts.:p

Hmm. I am a bit bothered by this turn of events. I have nothing against males in general (they make very good puppets) but I personally have never wanted to be one, for some reason. Per'aps I can blame all this on Rune. Yes, I think that's what I'll do. Rune's fault; he must be the guy and not I. :smokin:

Because it is always Rune's fault. :p

Well, ever since he promoted me from Wight to Local Banjo(ess) I have considered finding another scapegoat, but he just does the job so well...

Who else would be a worthy candidate for the job?

All right, you two, calm down! I've edited it now. HAPPY? :p

Looking at that display, there's no way to be sure how much time there's left. In the last four panels, it first says 0:50, then 0:10, then 0:47, then 0:03. Looks like it's resetting itself all the time.

Remembering that Alien has already done in his Mom, I'm afraid Mr Alien Sr's chances of survival look rather grim...

Oh, much better. Being a vegetable is so much more...syllabylic. :Merisu:

Hookbill the Goomba 02-17-2010 06:08 PM

Time for some phalian! Let's explore those glowing eyes of strangeness!

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING


Come back on Monday to see how Alien gets on with his epic chase! Will he catch John Fillis? What will he do if he does? Probably think of something new and destructive to do instead...

wilwarin538 02-17-2010 06:13 PM

I just have to say that I love that the Phantom's name is Philip. Pretty awesome. ;)

the phantom 02-17-2010 10:08 PM

But you already knew his name was Philip, Wilwa!
(PS Wilwa- should we send Hook a copy of my recent Phantom drawing? ;) )

And wow, Hookbill- that last strip is very eerie. It's a nearly perfect copy of an exchange I had recently with a friend! :eek:

The exchange wasn't about glowing eyes, obviously, but everything else- word for word practically! Except at the end I said "So awesome then" rather than "So, manly then?"

Have you been spying on me?!

Confession time!! I have actually been secretly spying on you FOR Mr. Goomba and thus have been feeding him every juicy detail of your life for the past two years!! Yes people!! That is why I was on hiatus!! :p

TheGreatElvenWarrior 02-17-2010 11:50 PM

I love Gertrude! She is so practical! :D

It's even stranger than that, phant', me old boy. I wrote the episode nearly three months ago. So I had to use a time machine for spying purposes. ;)

Haha, yes! :D I think he'd like it! He'd need a bit of the backstory to really understand it though. ;)

PandA doesn't tell the future. It makes the future. :eek:

And considering that P&A3 is set both in the future AND the past (somehow), and contains a time travel hat.... I think maybe it broke the space time continuum...

Onoes! You don't want to do that! Bad things happen to those who mess with the space time continuum!:eek:

Hookbill the Goomba 02-21-2010 06:03 PM

It's New! But is it News?

On Thursday an old friend comes by to give us all some... um... hope? Just wait and see...

TheGreatElvenWarrior 02-21-2010 07:39 PM

I loved that the second story had two ways that you could take it. It was so misleading!:p

The Might 02-22-2010 07:18 PM

Liked the dead pheasant. :D
Would be funny if all pubs actually had their namesake in them.

Are you still doing all of the artwork in paint, Hookbill? Because if yes, you've gotten very good at it.

Glirdan 02-22-2010 07:42 PM

Is it just me or does it look like the dead pheasant is flying!? :eek:

Someone's not been paying attention. :p
It's not me who draws the comics any more, but my more artistic brother, Joshua. Yes, he uses paint. In volume 4 we may revert back to me drawing them; I've got some ideas of how to do it better than volume 1&2, though I can't guarantee that it'll be as good as 3.
I still write the things, though. :)

Morsul the Dark 02-23-2010 06:24 AM

I'm glad you had fun watching me burn my face off.... it still hurts you know

Hookbill the Goomba 02-24-2010 06:15 PM

Now an old friend shows up.

On Monday we'll see how Alien and Boris deal with the Dead Pheasant. I suspect Alien will do something about it. Something... Horrible.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 02-24-2010 08:00 PM

I've been awaiting the return of Death for a while now, I'm glad that he came back!:D

Hookbill the Goomba 02-28-2010 05:28 PM

Early post as I have to actually wake up tomorrow and can't stay up for midnight like I usually do...

EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS TO LOSLOTE FOR THE SECOND STORY! :)

Now an old foe appears! Can you guess who it is?

Gosh! Poor Lommy, trapped with Morsul on the burning bus. How will she escape? What will Boris do about it? Will Alien get indigestion? And just what will the Phantom do now he is back in the city?
All these questions and more, will remain unanswered on Thursday when P&A returns in style! Or, as much style as P&A has at any time anyway...

Loslote 02-28-2010 05:37 PM

I love Morsul's eyes in that last frame.

THAT GUY!
Awesome. :p

TheGreatElvenWarrior 02-28-2010 05:37 PM

The cultural dress was the most important part. It is crucial when you want to have a successful integration (or something) into some peoples' societal gatherings.

As for the P and A: That was disgusting! Alien should eat more dead things during the span of the comic.:D

Poor Alien. He obviously has a less than wonderful memory.;)

Laurinquë 02-28-2010 06:58 PM

My sympathies to Mr Wilber. It is indeed hard to make a living when you are terrifying ghostly creature in a black hood. But he does have a fine hat.

Ah yes, Kurdistan. It was so easy. Such a shame I won't be able to rule it now that TheGreatElvenWarrior poisoned me with cyanide. The recovery is going to take a while. Epic article Lottie! I'd rep you for it but I have to spread the love around some more before I can give to you again.

Legate of Amon Lanc 03-01-2010 05:09 AM

MOUNT ZOOM? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Does it mean that Alien is so forgetful that he forgot about the bus completely, or is it that he remembered the bus, and it's the revelation of Mount Zoom's origins? Now that's what I'd call a revelation.

wilwarin538 03-01-2010 08:03 AM

Mount Zoom is pretty epic. As was Morsul's eyes at the end. This was a really awesome one!!!! :D

Morsul the Dark 03-01-2010 08:26 AM

Any one with me is Awesome!
