Chainsaws and static! My goodness! Worst one ever*!

*according to the latest pole in the alternating current electromagnet. Or something like that.

Oh no, we'll never be sick of Phantom and Alien. You're going to be doing these for the rest of your life...

Oh Dear...

There was talk of a P&A sing-song, but, due to one thing and another, it never happened. Maybe at Christmas. Until then...

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-14-2008, 12:53 PM

That P and A made me laugh so much I'm crying, it's a good thing my tea wasn't done yet or else it would've gotten all over the computer...

Anyway...

Dear Mr Moreduck,
Why are we sending our complaints to you for the Phantom and Alien comic? You don't even work at The Downer! I'm suing you for your fraudulent newspaper and trying to take credit for things that you didn't do. I hope you're happy now!

Thank you for taking time to read my short letter, I expect to see you in court!

~A worried customer....

I didn't know that Alien could get sick... That's amazing!

Episode 86

Oh how I seem to like reusing that punchline...

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 08-09-2008, 01:08 AM

So John Fillis is the answer to the Phantom's problems? Well, my brother will be happy now...

My Dearest Les:

As I haven't seen you since Mother's Day, I thought I would drop a line just to say hello, and thank you again for the lovely "I Survived the 2004 Downer's Picnic" t-shirt you gave me as a present. Dear, I know you said it was a collector's item, and very valuable, but I passed by your news offices the other day (you weren't in), and there was a box full of what seemed to be the same t-shirts lying in the gutter next to the trash cans. Are those made of a different material or something? Ah well, no matter. I always get complimented when I wear it to the Bridge Club. The other mothers say things like, "Thats what your son got you for Mother's Day? My, he is a big spender!" Or "If he got you that as a gift, I can just imagine what your funeral will be like." It's so very nice to have such a thoughtful son.

Father is doing fine now that he's had his bowels shaved. There's no more of that very loud grunting and gasping from the loo in the morning. He sends his love. Well, what he actually said was, "we should have found a midwife with a twig and rooted it out," but you know how he is -- such a comedian. Your brother Bertie sends his best wishes. Just think, only five more years and he'll be out on good behavior. As you know, he would have gotten out earlier had it not been for that unfortunate mishap when his Tourettes suddenly acted up and he insulted the parole board for several minutes (public speaking was never his forte').

Anyway, congratulations on yet another fine edition of 'The Downer'. I don't really understand a word of it, but it seems to be spelled correctly and has very colorful adverts. I should expect you'll be coming around next week as your grandmum has finally gotten her false teeth and won't be drooling gruel on your nice suit like last time.

See you soon dear.

Love, your Mum

Bravo sir, bravo! An excellent, wacky, overblown and hilarious centennial.

Plus, I believe we've found who has run off with Rune's balloon...can't quite make out who it is...

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-20-2008, 05:02 PM

Let's have a look at some true facts...

A new age has begun for The Phantom and Alien! Prepare yourselves for an adventure of epic proportions! Yes, this, volume 2 of their adventures, will see The Phantom and Alien engaging in murder, intrigue, murder, suicide, murder, monsters, catapults, murder again and, of course, John Fillis.

It's a roller coaster ride, who knows where it will end? ... Well... I do... But still!
