You should ask Hookbill. He knows all about Daleks and everything that they ever had anything to do with.

Hakon · 08-14-2009, 10:31 PM

Okay. Why does he know all about daleks? All I know is that daleks do with doctor who. That is it.

Because, he has watched every episode of Doctor Who. You just don't know how much there are references to that programme in the Downer until you start watching it too.

Going back on topic, I think it was quite funny that Formy just noticed that Alien was changing costumes in the last panel.

Hakon · 08-14-2009, 10:38 PM

I think he noticed in the fifth panel when he said "besides your costumes are just well weird." In the last panel he was asking how Alien kept changing so fast.

Has it ever been answered how Alien managed to wear any type of clothing when he has no shoulders?

Well the suit, mario and spaceman costume all are very tight as you can see in the pictures. The Sherlock costume is tied around his neck. The dalek one I have no idea.

It's not that important. I was going for iconic looks; Sherlock Holms, space man, Mario, Dalek and so on. Not to mention Formy's incredibly stylish costume.

But, basically, a Dalek is a thing from Doctor Who. a quick google search will clear most things up if you're really that interested.

Alien's physiognomy just plain baffles me.

What's Doctor Who?

wilwarin538 · 08-15-2009, 08:32 AM

Oh! I just noticed he still has his bowtie as an astronaut, hehe. Too cute!

Doctor Who is a TV show isn't it? I believe it was a much older one that has recently been re-done, but I could be mistaken.

narfforc · 08-15-2009, 01:18 PM

I believe that Irony has lost all it's power, and is wasted on humans.

Ahaha. I'm sick ok?

I don't understand irony/satire/puns or anything of the sort when my head aches and my eyes are all watery.

narfforc · 08-15-2009, 03:44 PM

I'll forgive you, but it won't stop me killing Hooky at Oxomoot, I need something to eat I'm sick of Maggoty Bread.

Well, there is episode 24 of Series 1. After seeing that I gave up on Alien having a logical body

I have to post this up a bit early. I have to get up at a 'normal' time tomorrow and can't stay up until midnight, I'm afraid. So, here's the news...

And here we have Peter Hampton leaving John Fillis to his devices.

Come back on Thursday when we'll finally meet the legendary Soap Pope! I wonder what he'll have running down his face.

THE PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE OF DOOM

Don't forget that I'm always open to story submissions, by the way. It does make a nice change to have other writers on the Downer, doesn't it?

Laurinquë · 08-17-2009, 03:06 PM

P&A this week was priceless. I was giggling uncontrollably and now the people in the airport are giving me odd looks! Score!

Ents are always good news; but is it still a pile of nappies as you say? I just noticed the comment below the picture, but I think it adds to the hilarity of the whole thing. Excellent second article by the way.

Yes, I noticed that mistake.

Decided to keep it because it looked funny, though.
