It's just a name I made up off the top of my head. But, why not? Fungotch and Schmurt need parental guidance.
Which reminds me, we've just finished an episode where ALIEN'S FATHER is revealed. And it just gets weirder from there. Considering who his mother is...

Wow! Cool! Well, I did not like his mother that much, but perhaps the father is going to be far cooler!

Oh, and Hookbill, I've been planning to tell you that for some time already, but somehow never managed to do so - I wonder if that's a sign of something. A few times, I've been "replaying" Phantom&Alien dialogues from the videos with my brother when we were walking somewhere, or such (Lommy had actually witnessed one, so that's what reminded me of telling you). Or, we have been "singing" the background music to Fungoltch&Schmurt video.

"Is it just me... or are adverts getting... weirder..." "How did you get a TV?"

(Okay, and now we had to re-watch it. Twice. )

Oh, and btw, we were wondering which language did you use when recording the Fungoltch&Schmurt video (as it obviously isn't English). We came to these conclusions: Obviously, it's some language recorded backwards. At one point, I came up with a theory that perhaps it's actually this Fungoltish language (the one used in the comics), but just played backwards. To that, my brother reacted, saying that possibly it's Fungoltish that has been recorded backwards and then played backwards.

Moldutch? Gimifril!!! ( <= Yea, I want a t-shirt saying that! Wow, now that would be cool!)

Oh, Legate, you do make me laugh. Let's just say that the episode where we see Alien's father is called "Happy" Families. I should also point out that Alien's mother is given a much broader character in Volume 3, so maybe you'll learn to like her. Or hate here more. Who knows.

I hope you quote The Whimsical Adventures of Sir Phantom and his associate, Mister Alan. "Well, no harm done" "Quite."
Yes, that background music in Fungoltch & Schmurt gets in my head ALL THE TIME. you can thank my brother for that particular masterpiece.

The language is German, played backwards. Fans of a certain 80's German electro pop band may recognise the words. But still, I'm always happy to maintain that the title of that cartoon, Fungotch and Schmurt Save Christmas, was entirely justified...

I agree. I have often thought about making a P&A related T-Shirt or two for myself, but I never seem to have the time / money.

Not much yet, but it's certainly quoteworthy

We mainly like Alien's voice, because it's all too funny!

You can thank him for me...

Yes, I remembered you said once what it is, but that did not prevent us from speculating

Hmm, well, if you ever start mass-making fan-stuff, just tell.

Well, it's Wednesday, we're just seven episodes away from the finale. And things are really hotting up for The Phantom and Alien!
The Downs is on the brink of total destruction. Death has a plan, but can The Phantom deal with his work partner?



Catch up on the story here!

What's going to happen? What on earth could Death be planning? Can YOU guess?

Well Hooketybill, you've certainly done it now. I saw that and just had to make this.



I hope you're happy, because I immediately dove into your archives and made twelve more. Like this one!



The rest of them can be viewed at the Barrowdowns LJ community, for the low low price of 9.99.

Please don't club the seals.

Well, just for you, here's two exclusive Volume Three icons!





You may have noticed I've yet to release any pictures of Volume 3 Phantom. Odd that, isn't it. ;D
