Yes, and the expression of sheer exasperation on me face is one I am familiar with

I had a thought. If you could find an old green sock and some of those packets of 'eyes' that you buy in craft shops, you could make an Alien puppet to frighten errr....kids and old ladies with.

Groin Redbeard · 11-14-2008, 10:41 AM

Why is there a sudden outbrake of crying in with the characters. If it wasn't for Davem's hilarious comforting of Lalwende this would have made me sad again.

Anyway, I like how the plot is unfolding.

You have no idea how close I came to doing this once upon a time. I didn't because I couldn't find a sock of the right shade of green. (I do have a pretty good Phantom Puppet, though... I am sad, I know...)

Actually, do Burscough FC have green socks? Their strip is that colour. You could sneak in and nick one

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 11-15-2008, 01:37 AM

I think I have socks that are the same colour as Alien... maybe I could make an Alien puppet! I love the idea!!!!

Lindale · 11-15-2008, 09:01 AM

Actually I do have green socks of that shade, but I don't know where to buy those googly eyes. But I used to make sock puppets for high school plays.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-15-2008, 11:41 AM

Okay, new idea for The Phantom and Alien Christmas special... Make your own Phantom or Alien (or both) puppets! Not sure how I'd organise it though... I don't it's fair to have just me decide a winner, so I'd like a few judges.

Maybe people with access to video cameras could make little 10-30 second clips of their puppets telling a joke or something?

Ideas?

You should see what he looks like in volume 3

Lindale · 12-01-2008, 07:59 AM

Why would Phantom wear a tie in the third volume? Alien looks really darling in the first panel, while eating cake. We wantsss to give Alien cakesesss, precious!

Groin Redbeard · 12-01-2008, 11:45 AM

The pictures in this addition really cracked me up, Hookbill!

I just love the way you did that Sauron Eye Pie, and Groin Breadbeard. I'm glad that he's shown up again.

As to your suggestion about Phantom & Alien three times a week, I say go for it, the public is getting barely enough as it is!

EDITORIAL REPLY

Dear Sirs,

Regarding my editorial reply of 11-30-08, it would seem I made a slight error in my letter to you, in that I mistakenly forgot to include the actual issue I was complaining about, as well as the solution to the problem. Such an egregious error of omission is obviously quite embarrassing, particularly since the grave issue I was considering, and the solution I wished to implement, was and is extremely crucial to our society; in fact, it is the crux of all the world's problems, and possibly life itself as we know it.

Rest assured, such an error will not occur again.

Sincerely,

Cuute, says I!

And as for more of P&A per week... if you wish, I'd be all for that!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 12-01-2008, 10:52 PM

(Hook)Bill, I say, you have rabid fans now! Aren't you happy!?

Hookbill the Goomba · 12-03-2008, 02:43 AM

Well, if the people want insanity, who am I to deny it them?
The Phantom and Alien are moving to a warmer and more comfortable Monday, Wednesday and Friday slot. Hope you're all happy...

See you on Friday...

Lindale · 12-03-2008, 06:42 AM

Nice. Very nice. Alien really looks so cute.

Say, how did Alien manage to get a gun (at least, it seems like it)? And why is the smoke greenish?

Oh my, I first read this "how did Alien manga get to run"

Now that's for some artist of the eastern province... but probably that was what I subconsciously thought, that you had in plan to start something like that

You don't want to know.

The 'smoke' is supposed to be a little 'bang' from the shotgun. I FAIL at drawing.
