I think I sent you something like ages ago.

Anyway I virtually cracked up at the phantom article. It was hilarious.

And I'd like to participate in the P&A thingy too.

No problem, I can send it again. It wasn't even that good, though.

Ah. Phantom and Alien time. Sorry, hectic day for me, pushed it out of my mind. Well, better late than never I suppose...

Things are really hotting up now. With a massive army marching into the Downs it's up to Alien, lal and Lommy to find a way of stopping them. But what help can Underhill offer?

Don't forget to look back at the Previous Episodes. There may be some clues.

Is there anyone else interested in signing up for the next P&A challenge? So far we have;

- Oddwen
- TheGreatElvenWarrior
- Aganzir

More people would be great! Fun times with Phantom and Alien are made better by the... um... I really don't know where I was going with this...

I love the army of orange people, nice shading effect. Also, I continue to love the how ominous Mr. Underhill looks, like a shadow with slits for eyes.

To the editorial staff --
I must make plain my displeasure at your copyreader's inability to properly spell check your headlines, particularly when the blurb regards yours truly. In the 'Downer edition from Week #144, I noticed the following: "Rivendel elects Moth as new leader". Let's ignore the fact that the Westron variation of Imladris is spelled R-i-v-e-n-d-e-l-l, but the text in total should have read: Rivendell elects Morth as new leader". Yes, the Dark Elves have taken over Imladris from the decadent Noldorin pansies.

We of the Moriquendi have been for quite some time taken aback by the Noldor's seeming nonchalance at prostituting out their daughters to mere mortals. The whole Aragorn/Arwen debacle was the straw that broke the mûmak's back, so to speak. Add to that Galadriel playing a strumpet to a Dwarf, and one can plainly see that the Noldorin leadership is evidently a few strands short of a full head of hair, and the Moriquendi have taken action, shipping the remaining Noldorin faction to a long retirement in Valinor (where they can eternally bask in the glow of Manwe for all we care).

In conclusion, we request that your copyreader be executed post-haste for gross negligence. Torture will not be necessary, unless it eventually ends the life of said copyreader.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation,
