I might remind everyone here that Balrogs do not have wings. :p ;)

Oh, and one liner P and As are much easier to quote, indeed. Then you don't have to refer back to a ridiculous story line.

Legate of Amon Lanc 10-16-2010 01:40 PM

For those fans of our favourite cartoons who haven't read it elsewhere yet, I want to mention that to my incredible delight I have discovered that in my neighbourhood, there lives some person whose name is "Shmurts"!

I would not have imagined that or believe that if I wouldn't have seen that...

The news to make you dance and vomit on the carpet!

Do you remember where we left the phantom at the end of series two?

Oh such fun times. If you can't remember, at the end of volume 2 the phantom had gone into hiding after the Barrow Wight decided to charge him for the destruction of half the country.
I like his disguise! It's so convincing! :D

It may not be as visually impressive as the previous series, but I hope you enjoy it enough to be getting along with. Sorry it's only once a week, guys, but I'm quite short on time and inspiration at the moment and can only make one episode a week as it is. I'll try harder once I get my head screwed on right. ;)

Those children are in safe, while invisible, hands, aren't they?
Yes, if you're wondering, what happened to Alien with the mayonnaise at the end of Vol. 2 will be addressed. It's a very silly situation, I assure you. And more silliness is to come.

It's not a rat. It's a possum! Alien says so! Alien knows best... Or does it?

Make sure you're all happy with P&A at the moment. If you are unsatisfied, please contact the British Government to demand a full refund. I'm sure they'll be able to deal with it.

If you're confused about the Phantom and Alien, don't worry; I am too.
Hopefully the archive isn't too bad. I did spend some time on it. So... BE HAPPY!

Eww...what's wrong with his hand...?

Oddwen 11-16-2010 01:05 AM

When I look at that illustration, I can't keep my brain from substituting the a surinami toad or the lotus(bodypart) photoshop from the web. (Don't search it out, it's gross and possibly NSFW).

Congratulations Hooky, you've finally crossed into "OH ERU NOOO" territory.

Egads! I bet you didn't see THAT coming, did you?
As I've been writing this series, I've started falling into some old traps. There are a few plotty episodes coming up soon, but they shouldn't last too long. I hope.
Also, be on the look out for Mr Squatter!

Hookbill the Goomba 11-28-2010 05:48 PM

Is it a time of year when no one is posting or is the Newspaper really that bad? :(

The Phantom and Alien are still having adventures, you know!
Davem is unhappy with the case he's working on...

Tune in next week for more Alien craziness! And probably some jelly.
I should probably start thinking about something special for Christmas time. Another animation, you think?

Blind Guardian 12-03-2010 11:09 AM

Jelly! jelly, jelly. I like Jelly.

the phantom 12-04-2010 10:21 PM

I did NOT punch your reporters!

I hit them with a wave of concussive force summoned forth by the awesome power of my brain.

Speaking for myself, you can totally blame that on a temporary low in esprit on the reader's side.
As for P&A, the new/old format takes some time to adjust to after the epic story arc of Vol. 3. But tell me, what has happened to davem's look since Vol. 2 ? Wouldn't have recognized the old chap. When and how did he acquire a pony-tail?

Yes, well, Davem's new look is supposed to be more based on recent photos of the man himself AND the fact that he's supposed to be a bit of a hipster always a little high on drugs. But don't tell the kids. ;)

Anyway, lets have some news...

I'm glad people are still reading. There's more fun to come with the P&A saga. Not sure how it'll go from here on out as I may be hitting a change of jobs soon. So if P&A frequency becomes a little muddled, don't try and kill me!

No, I didn't steal that last image from a video. How dare you suggest such laziness on my part! I'm insulted! Please address all complaints of this sort to the Barrow Wight Himself. Also, ask him to send me that money he owes me.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 12-14-2010 10:25 PM

Alliteration? What is this nonsense that the Downer is spewing? I demand a refund!

Next week I'm thinking of, as a special Christmas treat or something, doing an extra special Newspaper! It'll be quite a few pages long and, in all probability, be a sort of 'best of' paper with a few new stories. If you've got any favourite Downer moments, let me know and I'll throw them on the consideration pile.

Blind Guardian 12-19-2010 08:04 PM

*from two weeks ago*

I bought my house from the Great Dark Lord, Morgoth! Greatest thing I've ever bought! *roof caves in* Eh, almost, if that stupid thing would just stay up!

*today*

Bad Hookbill! start writing the news again!

Hookbill the Goomba 12-27-2010 07:06 AM

A little later than usual...

The first instalment of a series of 'best of' papers. I'm trying to take a bit of a break from full on newspapers. It's a little tiring at times.

It's good to see the 'Downer is finally endorsing our products! Sadly there seems to have been a confusion as to the name of the product.

The real name of the fragrance of course is Gallant Odourless Dudes, or just GOD to keep it short. :rolleyes:
