Yes, well, my brother did most of the work. He's the animation guy round here. Phantom 'glides' because he's a ghost and Alien is... A big... slimy... thing.
How did you imagine The Phantom to speak? I've always picture him with a British accent, but then again, I'm probably just bias. (I do know that the phantom isn't British, however)

Coming soon:

The John Fillis Action figure. All the Kids will want one.

LOL, great stuff at the end

Quite right- I'm not British.

But oddly enough I've had a British accent since birth. My first word was "Wimbledon". It was quite a shock to my parents, but they soon grew accustomed to it.

And did you have to make me exit via the window, Hookbill? It really hurt.

Fantastic cartoon though!

Hilarious as usual, Hookbill, glad to see you back!

It would probably be wonderful if he trails slime as he glides slimily.

I have nothing against the British accent, I think it's cool. But I don't know, maybe I imagined a bit deeper voice or something.

Hookbill,
If The Phantom is a ghost, then why did he break the glass in the window? And why didn't he fly out through another exit... I know the window was the obvious choice, but he's from a comic strip...

I will be done with my rant now...

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-11-2008, 05:06 PM

It's Monday again, (here in Blighty anyway).
Thanks to some ghostly chap in a blue cloak for the mini headlines.

Based on an idea by mr phantom.

Conspiracy? Link with Faceless Evil? Me?! Well dang it, you've discovered my evil plan.

Thinlómien · 05-12-2008, 12:17 AM

All too funny - all of it. But I must say that the McCaber article amused me the most.

And as I was asked, well, hadn't she confessed, I wouldn't have believed there to be a connection between Kath and the Faceless Evil...

This was really great, but what amused ME the most was the Nogrod mini-headline

And I only just had chance to look at the video, too. It is amazing
