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.

That wasn't what I had in mind, but it's an interesting idea... :D

Yes, that's the first thing I thought of. I'll continue to interpretate Alien's words in that way, I think it's cool... :)

Nevertheless, with Morsul on board (literally), I wonder who else is there who had not been introduced yet (aside from my favourite, Mr. Mop, of course).

Indeed, I haven't followed the comic for some time now, and didn't you your brother took over the artwork department.
He is really talented though, I can't imagine ever doing something like that in Paint.

Once my exams are all done I'll have to take a look in the P&A archive to get up to date.

Well, you really have a LOT to catch up with... but at least you can read it all at once and would not be troubled by "ugh, I have to week until the next issue is released"...

And maybe, as it all will be fresh in your memory when you read it, you might spot something which others didn't... (Or then your brain will be overflowed with the nonsense and, fittingly and to Mr. Editor-in-Chief's great delight, explode.)

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.

I put that cyanide in your drink. Remember? Out at that restaurant the other night? Or maybe you don't, 'cause you're dead.

Don't you always have to spread the love?

Also, I thought that Alien was going to say Mount Zoom as well. I was absolutely positive.

Now The Phantom and Gertrude are back in the city and ready for chaos and stuff...

On Monday we'll see how Peter and Death get along. Once Death has recovered from his hang-over, I expect... This could take a while.

Awww . . . the 'house' is back! It's almost as adorable as Mr Mopp. :D

Nope, sorry. Did you plan to put House the Very Large Mouse in or did your brother put him in on his own initiative? He defiantly deserved to come back at least once more.

Random Titles are writing a novel which will eventually kill them

BEST P & A line ever! Then again, Morsul's evil mayonnaise was pretty amazing too. Littering definitely takes the cake...er...chips for this volume.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 03-04-2010 07:27 PM

That was great. Mis Collins will certainly be taken down very soon. :p

Make sure to catch up on P&A because the story is going to get a LOT weirder in the next few episodes. You'll want to see Monday's episode; THE LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN BUS! :eek:

So, the secret is out! The title of this volume DOES refer to something vaguely to do with the story. Yep, the King Bus is going to have its day and importance.
If you guess what it will be, I will PM you a treat.

See you on Monday when Morsul's hatred burns brighter!

Pitchwife 03-10-2010 05:56 PM

Exactly his kind of bus! Great dialogue!:D

Hmmm... two possibilities I can think of right now:
1. It's going to road-kill Philip so that Peter can inherit the hooded cloak;
2. It's going to road-kill EVERYONE (except Alien, of course) so that they become properly wraithed.

Glirdan 03-10-2010 05:58 PM

This is starting to sound vaguely like a TV show with a certain actor by the name of David Hasselhoff.....

Loslote 03-10-2010 06:04 PM

My guess: Sir King Bus kills everyone and drives them to the Downs.

wilwarin538 03-10-2010 07:30 PM

Plan A: Since it's called the Golden Bus Ticket, perhaps they are not able to get on the King Bus unless they find the golden ticket first. And this ticket is of course hidden in Alien's super cool tie. ;) Or a Willy Wonka chocolate bar.

Plan B: The Golden Bus is discovered by Peter who is then threatened by the angry duo of Morsul and Death (who both want revenge on Philip), and is forced to run over his own father, thus becoming The Phantom. :eek:

Plan C: The King Bus is controlled by an evil pink kitten that wants to kill Alien for eating his BFF the Pheasant. :eek:


It's obvious which is most likely.

Are you SURE you've never watched Glee?? Cuz this is sounding like Sue Sylvester plan!! Bahahaha!!

I'm sticking with my Night Rider theory...or maybe it's combination of Night Rider, Charlie and Chocolate Factory and having it's own Barrow-Downs twist!? :eek:

Haha, no. But I have read your signature, so it may have sublimily (sp? haha) come out in this plan. But who doesn't love an evil kitten, like really? ;)

I'm afraid its much, much sillier than that. :p

Phantom and Alien? Silly? No, never.


How about the King Bus is the ticket to the next, greater bus. That bus will bring Miss Collins back to life (through means only known to the Bus and Alien), Alien will be in on the plot. Unfortunately, since Alien was the one who killed Miss Collins to begin with (yes, that is the story that I am sticking to), he will find another, bloodier way of killing her again. When he's finished with that, she becomes another inhabitant of the Barrow-Downs. Afterwards, the Phantom gets to miss Collins, but by that time Alien is already there. So, mega battle time! That is when the BUS runs over the whole lot of them and kills them. Then it is off to the Barrow-Downs!

Hookbill the Goomba 03-14-2010 04:59 PM

You people are being subjected to another early Downer... Because I'm ill. And have to wake up tomorrow morning. :(

The one thing I love about writing P&A is the fact that there really are no heroes. It's just a chorus of villains all being inept and self serving.
I suppose it depends on how you count Alien. I'm not entirely sure he's familiar with either concept to be honest...

Your memory serves you well. ;)
Also, read episode 50 of volume one. That'll give a little more background.

Pitchwife 03-18-2010 03:00 PM

Yeah, it's all coming together now...
By the way, why do I have a strange feeling that Aunt Bob isn't even dead yet?
Shouldn't be a problem, however; somebody's gonna take care of her/him:D.

Loslote 03-18-2010 03:05 PM

*twiches and whimpers because can not see images on school computer and does not want to wait for another three and a half hours*

Legate of Amon Lanc 03-19-2010 04:04 AM

Now, now, yeah! It seems to me that we are getting close to an important turning point! At least the funeral of Aunt Bob was, in the original PA, the place where it all started! I am quite interested to see what happens next...

Hookbill the Goomba 03-21-2010 05:20 PM

These are going to be early from now on for the foreseeable future, I'm afraid. I gots me this job that, shock horror, means I have to wake up on a Monday morning. Boo!

Tsk tsk Death, you should know better than to drink on the job, unless you're moonlighting as a wine taster.
