I love nothing, I also love some things and some people too.

The current P&A volume is coming to a close in two weeks, people! So for now I'd like to ask if anyone fancies doing some guest comics while I set up the next volume? Let me know either here or in PM if you prefer.

Oddwen 09-12-2012 11:14 PM

I am torn between not posting and therefore proving that article wrong and reaching that all-important 2123'd post.

I just want to watch my re-warming food spin around...

Next week sees the end of this current volume of Phantom and Alien. I know it was a bit meandering and didn't make a lot of sense, and that was my fault for losing track of what I was doing. But the next series will be better, I promise!

TheGreatElvenWarrior 09-16-2012 10:29 PM

I have three things to say about this:
  1. ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY TEA! IT IS THE ELIXIR OF ALL!
  2. The Downer this week has become overrun by bespectacled people!
  3. That second article sounded suspiciously like real journalism...

Galadriel55 09-17-2012 04:47 PM

About the paper: tea! More tea!


About P&A: Oi. Actually, I'm a little afraid of where the new volume will start. :eek:

TheGreatElvenWarrior 09-17-2012 05:48 PM

Tea is the most important thing. It should always be in the paper. My personal crusade should be plastered all over the Barrow-Downs.

And that's the end of Volume 4!!
Next week there will be something different. Maybe a Fungoltch und Schmurt? Maybe Phanston and Ailsbry. Maybe something new? Who knows or dares to dream...

And now, for no reason, the Phantom and Alien are babies!!

Next week something new and exciting, probably.
I'm open to guest comics, too! If anyone has a P&A in them send me a PM or an email and we'll have it framed and put up, or something. ;)

Rune Son of Bjarne 09-30-2012 08:28 PM

I am not amused!

Galadriel55 10-01-2012 07:01 PM

That Panda is giving me good money for the biscuits, mind!

P&A BABIES?!?!?!?! Are we going to have explosive rattle toys? Please?

Morthoron 10-01-2012 07:18 PM

PPfft! It's the Ministry of Magnetic Affairs, not the Department of Magnetic Affairs. And the only department heads we have are pickled in jars. :D

Hookbill the Goomba 10-07-2012 04:40 PM

News. The strong stuff. Leave the bottle.

And now for a special Phantom picture inspired by my very first conversation with the actual phantom himself...

Galadriel55 10-07-2012 05:37 PM

There are tabby cats and calico cats. Persian cats, Abyssinian cats, Aegean cats, Brazilian Shorthair cats, British Shorthair cats, British Longhair cats, Egyptian Mau cats, Norwegian Forest cats, Russian Blue cats, Scottish Fold cats, Singapura cats, Siberian cats, Turkish Angora cats, and American Bobtail cats. Many many cats.

the phantom 10-08-2012 09:06 AM

Do you want BWight to ban you, Galadriel? :p

(What- you didn't give me a pistol, Hookbill? How am I to survive the inevitable outlaw attack?)

Bęthberry 10-08-2012 11:50 AM

The cat'll come back, the very next day, TP.

Boromir88 10-08-2012 11:59 AM

A random gas station meeting to discuss football with the phantom would not be a depressing moot, in my humble opinion. :p

Cats have 9 lives, you know... ;)

the phantom 10-08-2012 04:25 PM

I seem to recall a mini-headline in The Downer a couple years ago that was something like-
"Cat's Nine Lives No Match For Shotgun"

:p

Galadriel55 10-08-2012 04:42 PM

Aha! Now tp is also talking about cats! Do you want BWight to ban you, phantom? :p

the phantom 10-08-2012 05:42 PM

I'm already banned actually, but I've learned to post in such a way that only certain folks can see it.

This post, for instance- it doesn't exist for anyone except you.

In other news (i.e. previous Downer headline)- "Study Determines Cats Unable to Swim Effectively in a Vat of Glue".

I should have realised.

Maybe all posts don't exist at all, and you are just imagining them. Maybe this one is a figment of imagination - but whose, I wonder? mine or yours?

"Study determines that Study is quite a stupid person who hasn't seen a cat leap off the fifth floor and survive" - says Study. "And cats aren't made for swimming anyways. They are too eeeeevil for swimming."

There was also an article a while back that had to do with putting cats in microwaves. Clearly tp is the most evil person in the whole world. How could anybody hate cats?

Bęthberry 10-09-2012 06:43 PM

I think our responses, G55, have demonstrated sufficiently that cats provide a euCATastrophe and therefore pass the canonicity test.

And now the Phantom and Alien enter a new era. A new plane of existence! A new set of pants! This time they're old film noir detectives. A bit like Phanston and Ailsbry, but in an alternate reality or something.
This is actually technically the start of... Volume 5!

ENJOY!

Or Like The Phantom and Alien Facebook Page!

The new Facebook page for P&A has ALL the episodes I could find on my computer as well as some never-before-seen art and concept drawings. It's fun stuff and I'll probably be posting the episodes there, too!
This is mostly down to the fact that the webs page I was using before was not allowing me to upload new episodes and kept deleting old ones so I've given up on it for now. Grrr. So, if you're on the old fac-e-book, give it a 'like'. Or don't. I'm not your boss.

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-18-2012 04:31 PM

The twist to the story is that I actually didn't resign.

Bęthberry 10-18-2012 10:15 PM

I am resigned to Rune's not resigning.

Aganzir 10-19-2012 01:16 PM

Just so you know, they say my ego is bigger than the phantom's. I'm not sure I agree, though. The phantom really has some ego issues while I'm just realistic.

Speaking of the phantom, he's hot. The comic version, I mean.

Also, cracked up at William Worm.

Next week's P&A will introduce a new character never before seen in P&A!! It's someone from the Downs. Someone who was at Britainmoot. Someone who is kind of insane. Hmm. That could mean anyone... Anyway, enjoy speculations!

Galadriel55 10-21-2012 04:39 PM

A new characer? Yuppee!

Who could it be, huh? Not Lommy, Squatter, Lal, or davem. They've appeared before. Agan? Greenie? Oddy? Mr. Goomba?

I'm actually not sure if any of the people with question marks appeared in P&A. I can't remember. I'm sure that it I'm wrong I shall stand corrected very quickly. ;)

Greenie has, Hooky has, I believe Agan has as the Sea Hag. Lommy, Leggy and Squatter have also been in.

The Britmoot people who haven't been in PandA includes Esty, Guenivere, PomPom, Oliphaunts_Rule, me, and Kath.

edit: Oh! Also Faramir Jones, Poison Ivy, Bethberry and Brian Sibley.

Galadriel55 10-21-2012 06:17 PM

++Brian Sibley

:D

Hah, well, Agan wasn't supposed to be the Old Woman of the Sea, so I don't know how you'd count that. :p
I only appeared in a none-cannon episode.
Did A Little Green appear? I don't recall her doing so...

Anyway, yes, it's one of the people mentioned above. ;)

It'll be confirmed in two episodes time, but the new character is Aganzir. Expect heightened levels of craziness and insanity in the coming weeks.

Aganzir 10-29-2012 04:45 AM

Bahaha! Awesome! :D

And hey guys, I'm the self-proclaimed Sea Hag. Just because I look like her. Or, I believe, it was Legate who made that up, but still.

Oh and I also like Oddwen's cake.

Oddwen 10-29-2012 01:52 PM

Everyone likes my cakes. Or else.

:cool:

the phantom 10-29-2012 03:19 PM

Things are bound to get pretty crazy around here!
You remember that Phantom and Alien animation we said we were making? Well, it's almost done. Just waiting for the music now. Hopefully that won't take too long. Sorry about all the delays. Don't know if we'll do another like this, but I'm going to think about options. Watch this space!
