Oh I wish I can understand just what Fungoltch and Schmurt are saying, though.

Anyway, good job on the Downer!!

Although I'm pretty sure that what they are saying makes no sense in any language, I'd suspect that this is somewhat loosely based on some Germanic language. At least the "mitt" in the sign gives me the idea that this crazy language had verbs similar to German ones, in this case "mittkruspmoren" or something like that.

Alright, I'll tell you. It's the lyrics to Kraftwerk's Das Model played backwards. My brother, Matt (animator and voices of Fungoltch and Schmurt), thought this was funnier than my idea of reading out random bits from every language on an electrical instruction manuel.

Well, it's Friday and it's Phantom and Alien time!

On Monday it's 50TH EPISODE TIME!! Yep, we're almost half way through volume two already! After episode 50 goes up, there may be a short break of some other comics not in this story. Exploring the Phantom and Alien's previous attempts at fame.

Get up! Get out! Get... um... Down? It's time for the news...

And now, the first half of Volume 2 of The Phantom and Alien reaches it's shocking climax!

Comic Archive

Alien’s exploding beans were first mentioned HERE, and later HERE.

There will be no Phantom and Alien on Wednesday or Friday. On Monday will begin a week of 'before they were famous' P&As before we go back into the EPIC story.

The Pahntom is always cute regardless of circumstance... though I think awesome is closer to the mark....
