I love how those bullets just ricochet off of Miss Collins.

Hmm, just noticed all the gross gooey stuff all over the floor of Collins' office, how strange.

It's from the graph. You can see it leaking in previous episodes.
There's often something odd going on in the background and it's nice to look out for it.

Yes, you can see it's been slowly spreading for about the last twenty strips.

Not knowing the bubbly honours that await him, Formy wonders what he'll do.

Monday sees an epic chase between Lommy and Peter. Who will win? Well, just wait and find out.

Anyone who does not believe in soap has got to be pretty darn smelly. That's all I can say.

Er...

Excuse my cheek, but what has belief to do with bathing? One can use soap all right without actually worshipping it...

I'm not entirely sure Alien understands this subtlety.



Now Peter must drive for his life. If Lommy catches him, who knows what will happen?

We'll catch up with Formy and his life on Thursday. Will he ever find out he's the new Soap Pope?

If I may interject my cheek--why need belief in something lead to worship? I mean, I believe that bagels exist, but I don't worship them--I don't even particularly like them.

I think that actually fits Alien pretty well, doesn't it? Or at least I always had that impression (that does not substract anything from the fact that he is cute, though Well, though it is true we don't have to smell the newspaper yet...).

What! Are all your journalists cockneys or something? Really, the decline in the standard of the news this week is utterly depressing.

It was "Stand at ease, Ghosties" I said, which of course explains the alleged lack of organisation or preparedness amongst the Conspirators.

Don't give The Editor ideas. Next Oxonmoot we might get our P & A cartoons on scented paper--and it might be doubtful if it would be athelas we'll be smelling.

Want the facts? Then look no further.

Honestly, the phantom must be rolling with glee at all this media attention...



Now we return to Peter's adventures in the desert. But he meets someone you may find familiar...

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING


The biggest plot twist of the series is coming up fast. On Thursday we get to see what Alien's been up to in his meeting with his mother. How can she deal with him and how will he convince her to give him money for his musical tour? After all, he needs to get people to listen to his hit songs. They're hits, you know.

I've re-loaded the page five times, looked at "Archive Thing" latest episode page, and every time all my computer will display is a big empty space where this week's P&A should be. What am I going to do? It works for all the other P&As, but not this one. *sobs*

Hmm. Not sure why that's happening. TRY THIS LINK and I'll look into it.

It works! Thank you. I don't know why that happens either, but I do know that my computer is very reluctant to load any picture posted through tinypic.com. Does anyone else out there have problems viewing this P&A I wonder?

By the way, the Downer this week was really cute. It amused me greatly.
