Gah! I nearly died of fright there, what is going to happen? :confused:

A Letter To The Editor

To whom it may concern:

I must strenuously protest the lack of a new issue of your tabloid. It has been over a week now, and I find the veritable interregnum of an interruption disconcerting. It's not that I actually read your newspaper, which would be a complete and utter waste of my time; however, at issue is the need for regularity in the Downs. Imagine, if you will, a battalion of backed-up Barrow Wights bursting with bulging bowels, a confluence of constipated cadavers contcatentating in a lumbering, lengthy line in the locale of the lone loo in the empty environs of Eriador! The methane leak alone may well suffocate the entire Downs!

So, do your part to end this insufferable irregularity by publishing your platitudinous periodical, and I shall do my part and continue to ignore its existence; except, of course, in instances such as this when The Downer's absence causes obstructive enormities.

Thank you in advance for the speedy discharge of your duty,
Ms. Emma Na Manumit
Disemboguing, Thorpechestershireborroughton

Dear Ms. Emma Na Manumit,

You are creepy and I don't like your tie. All the same, put on your best news pants because it's Downer time!

Golly Gosh! Peter and Philip are still locked in battle.


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


What on earth will happen now? That King Bus sure gets around and looks stupid at the same time! How does Alien do it? Magic, my friends, probably magic.

Eönwë 08-01-2010 05:00 PM

And I always thought he had wolf hands...:confused: :p

Blind Guardian 08-01-2010 05:42 PM

Um, can you kill Phantom since this is his comic? Or will Mandos bring him back to life?

Well, he is supposed to be dead in the Barrow-Downs isn't he? As a wight? ;)

The writer of a comic, just like a writer of a book, can kill off characters whenever he pleases. Even main characters. Besides, tp is already dead in the first two volumes. How do you think that got that way?

By the way, nice death for The Phantom, Mr. Goomba. It was a bit surprising, but so perfect! :D

Letter To the Editor:

The ball bearings are not used all the time, only when I'm out of Guinness. I expected more than half-truths from such a respected....well, I'd say more, but I keep bumping into the walls.

Sincerely,
Inziladun

Hookbill the Goomba 08-02-2010 03:20 AM

I notice you're all assuming that The Phantom is about to die. Interesting, that. ;)

And BEAR HANDS was a semi deliberate typo. It was accidental, but then I decided to keep it because it amused me. :D

You're saying that he's not? Aww. But it would be so cool!

Blind Guardian 08-02-2010 11:54 AM

I forgot that he's already dead. :Merisu:

Hookbill the Goomba 08-05-2010 01:28 AM

So the Showdown ends. Who wins? Find out.... NOW!

Whoo! Wasn't that exciting?
Things aren't quite over yet. A few lose ends to tie up. Where's Death? What will happen to John Fillis? What's Alien going to do with that bus? What will Barry do with that scythe? And what, just what, is that smell?

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

But, yes, you were right about it road killing Philip.

Blind Guardian 08-05-2010 09:09 AM

That wasn't what I was exspecting! I laughed my butt off at his face in the last frame! :D

As in flared trousers. And my, my, they are some....interesting trousers. :rolleyes:

Loslote 08-05-2010 07:34 PM

Oh, wow. Well done, Pitchie. :p

So what's up with Peter's expression in the last panel?

Clearly, seeing the Phantom uncloaked is a painful experience.

I think the body might have just melted away. Like the Wicked Witch of the East.

Philip's head's fallen off. :o Should have made that more obvious.

Blind Guardian 08-06-2010 08:31 AM

Oh. I thought the cloak was empty. :p like he teleported away or something.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 08-06-2010 09:57 AM

The more and more I look at this, the more disturbing it gets! :eek: I didn't realise that Philip's body was still in the cloak. So Peter is handling his dead father's body...

And what part of this series told you that Peter was a nice guy? :p

BET YOU NEVER EXPECTED THAT!! :p

It all makes sense when you think about it.

Well, not really.

wilwarin538 08-08-2010 05:15 PM

GASP! :eek:


Haha, that was a fantastic twist!

TheGreatElvenWarrior 08-08-2010 09:38 PM

NOT THE TREES BEING KIDNAPPED!! :eek:

P.S. The Phantom and Alien this week was muchly laugh-worthy. :D

EDIT: I like how the blurb that goes with the P and A this Sunday is the same as last. :p

Morthoron 08-08-2010 09:42 PM

"Tree Kidnaps on the Rise?" "Oddwen Captures Another?"

Now that's what I call being on 'the huorns of a dilemma'. Very ENTertaining.

Oh, fir sure. Maple it's because of a compulsion, oak it could be I just couldn't come to a deciduous what to do with a Sunday afternoon. I was just pining for an opportunity and lo! something presents itsleaf.

Excellent twist this week, O Hookety One.

Blind Guardian 08-09-2010 09:44 PM

Dad? That was unexspected! Nice!

Hookbill the Goomba 08-12-2010 01:22 AM

As this series winds down, it's time for Death to let lose a bit.

WARNING! CONTAINS GROTESQUE NUDITY! :eek:

I hope you're not completely traumatised.
This will be the last Thursday episode of the series. There's not that much left, just a bit of a round up. But there's more to look forward to! Dennis! Legate! Mr Mop! Davem! And an epic final end!

wilwarin538 08-12-2010 06:34 AM

That last panel of Peter, his expression looks so much like the real Phantom that I'm really creeped out right now. :p

I did play around with the idea of having him shave his head before the end of the series. :D

Noooo! Not a bald Peter! The only people that total baldness flatters are old men.

I like the Golly Gosh Wash. Mind if I steal it? :p :D
