One of my all-time favorite P&A comics right there.

Aganzir · 01-03-2011, 07:17 PM

I don't want to give any spoilers, but let me tell you my book discusses at least pole axes, bloodbaths, nudity, lions' hunting habits, cooking, and one Pitchwife. Among other things.

How much would it cost to bribe you to edit the, er, compromising pages out?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 01-06-2011, 11:07 PM

Pfft! Everybody knows that week #104 was the best Downer ever.

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-20-2011, 06:56 PM

It's time for a news stomach!!

And now for your regularly scheduled Phalian.

Today, we have a really bad joke. Even by p&a standards...

Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien, you can look back though the...

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING

sorry it's a bit late, people. I've been distracted by a strange wizard who keeps eating my chair. I wish he'd stop, but he says he can't or he'll turn into a tadpole again.

the phantom · 02-21-2011, 11:45 AM

We have a brand new "Dear Downer" today! Thank you to everyone who sent in their questions to be answered by this week's guest columnist- Legate!
(Our guest columnist for some reason wanted us to be sure and mention that Lommy is visiting him currently.)

**********************
**********************

DEAR DOWNER
THIS WEEK’S GUEST COLUMNIST- Legate, with Lommy visiting

Eomer writes- Do you have any tips for playing the bagpipes?
Legate answers- Glad to HELP a friend. I AM an excellent player, BEING a graduate of the Scottish National Conservatory. First, be sure the bag is HELD firmly but gently AGAINST your side. Second, consider, “Is MY chanter properly attached?” But then none of that matters if your instrument isn’t top quality. I have world class pipes myself. Should I die I’ll be sure and leave them to you in my WILL.

Kath writes- You and Lommy are so cute together! How long do you see it lasting?
Legate answers- Ha ha, yes, we’re quite the pair. She's looking over my shoulder as I answer these as a matter of fact. As far as us lasting- I’m imagine it will last until the end of my life, just as I am sure that all of you reading this will be certain to look over all of my answers extremely carefully, looking for hidden meaning and such.

Phantom writes- I was wondering if you had any more pudding jokes. That one Greenie told me was just hysterical.
Legate answers- Ah, actually, I think I might have one for you. One time there was a Czech pudding that went over to visit a Finnish éclair intending to inform her that their flavors just didn’t blend very well, but the éclair got mad and captured the pudding and insisted that given enough time he’d see dessert her way. Funny eh? Do you get the joke? Pleeeeease say that you get it!

I concur. Best choice, Hookie!

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-09-2011, 05:54 PM

The last of the best. Or worst. Whatever you think describes it best...

Next week your regular news returns! With all-new Phantom and Alien gubbins! Hope it makes you so happy your pants catch fire!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 01-09-2011, 10:36 PM

The evil mayonnaise? I love the evil mayonnaise!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-13-2011, 08:22 AM

I just looked through the last two pages of this thread, just to catch up on the headlines and see what I missed. It was a very enjoyable read, although I am sure I paid for some adverts. . .?

How is Rune's Quality Beef going to sell our newest product without promotion in the semi-public media?!

Have you tried our new lovely tinned beef? "BD-BEEF" - Made of Barrow-Downers for Barrow-Downers!

Also. . I am the king!

Who is this guy? Advertising in the middle of this forum! Unspeakable!

Did someone say...Evil Mayo?

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-16-2011, 06:15 PM

And now a brand new Phantom and Alien comic. Aint that novel?

Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien, you can look back though the...

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING

Although I'm having problems updating the website. I'll try again tomorrow.

Ah, many thanks to the infamous the phantom for writing the second story and mini heads for this week and the next few weeks. The more times people do this, the less likely I am to just churn out the complete last dregs of my dissolving creativity.

Blind Guardian · 01-17-2011, 12:16 PM

Go Morgoth GO!

What is it with hats lately?

the phantom · 01-21-2011, 01:54 AM

So I believe from now on I'll be imagining Doriath as the Olympic rainforest.

Firstly, hats are awesome.
Secondly, I am attending AntarcticaMoot.

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-23-2011, 05:39 PM

Thanks again to the phantom and his tireless work making my life a little easier. One day I may give him a pile of gold as reward. Maybe. Probably not. I may, in fact, take some gold from him.
Anyway...
More P&A next week.

the phantom · 01-27-2011, 09:51 PM

Ha! I knew Nog and the crew weren't being honest about the US trip! They were so polite about everything, but I could tell they weren't pleased.

Aganzir · 01-28-2011, 06:17 AM

Nog has no sense of humour. I thought that was the best part of the trip. Okay well almost, it was only second to the phantom sleeping a whole night in a bathtub.
