Here's the latest Phantom and Alien. It's one of my favourites.


Look! The rest of the STORY!

Well, I hope you're enjoying it.

I loved it when Phantom shoved that newspaper into the news-blokes mouth.

Friday's Phantom and Alien here for your inspection! Just 21 episodes to go!



Read the rest of the story and it might make a bit more sense...

In just a few episodes we'll start to see a bit more of The Fish Man's plans. Let me tell you, they're very, very silly. And be sure to pay close attention because from now on there are going to be little hints about things that will pop up in volumes 3 and 4.

Great!

And I like the story. Just hoping to see Alien doing something cute again soon

Okay, I've been trying to draw some people for the prologue. I did try several Downers, but these three were the best ones I could make. So, it's now up to you to decide who it should be.

You cannot vote for yourself.



Keep voting until April, then I'll see who's most popular / appropriate.

Hahaha. Wonderful.

That picture captures him rather well. Squatter, on the other hand, looks too kind. Also, I think Greenie should be a cute little frog instead of a penguin.

She is supposed to be Lommy's sister.
Besides, I was planning on using Greenie at some point in volume 5, the fact that she and Lommy are related is sort of important. Alien gets them mixed up all the time.

I'm afraid the Downs has room for only one frog position and that was taken early on by Rimbaud.

One can have only one set of pointy appendage. Look at his nose.

That might be the death of Death.

It's difficult to choose between two such gracious gentlemen--six of one, half a dozen of the other--but it's even more difficult to resist a cute lil penguin.

Groin, elves do not have pointy ears! *raises a sword*
