Now the one thing I'm sure you've all wanted to see! Alien presenting a power point slide show on the deep aspects of business...

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING

That is one of my favourite lines. "The invisible man, eh?" Alien is good for those kinds of non sequiturs.
Oh, and Little Beef's mother is still trapped in Fillis' bus. I wonder how she'll get out...

wilwarin538 · 01-14-2010, 03:23 PM

I love how Mr Skeleton Man Bus Driver moves seats at one point.

More and bigger hats! Such a wonderful and brilliant idea, it'll definitely make the Bus Company super succesful.

Is it the bigger hat that turns Lommy into a penguin?

That's Dennis! He's the best driver the company ever had!

wilwarin538 · 01-14-2010, 03:46 PM

Of course he is, I don't know how I forgot that (I knew we'd seen him before, but the name escaped me).

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 01-16-2010, 12:19 AM

Hahaha! Alien is going to chop the invisible man with a chain saw! That is pretty great!

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-17-2010, 06:09 PM

Sorry about the plot-thick episodes recently. Don't worry, there's some excitement and more 'jokes' in the Alien episodes for now. Peter's story will get some craziness soon enough, so don't try and kill me.

Loslote · 01-17-2010, 07:34 PM

It is so annoying when people point out flaws in your plans. I'm surprised he didn't kill him on the spot, out of sheer annoyance.

He's the gloating kind.

You know tp! He can't let someone die without letting them know how awesome he thinks he is.

Even if he did, Sauron'd be happy about it, 'cause it would confuse Frodo even more.

Who cares about confusing Frodo? You could confuse much more interesting characters!

But then, Frodo is so easy to confuse! Although movie!Legolas isn't that hard, either.

Eönwë · 01-20-2010, 12:09 PM

At least the penguin wasn't shot out of canon.

I'm sure Lommy would be upset.

Perhaps the Church o' Soap will react badly with a perfume one of the church ladies wore and will explode. That would be exciting and cleansing.

If it doesn't wash away in the rain first! By the way, what is this religion called? Soapism? I think I'll convert!

Soapism is catchy. "Soapism, where everything (and we mean everything) is washed clean."

Loslote · 01-23-2010, 01:50 AM

I'd vote for Soapism, and Morai's motto is lovely.

I wonder if Alien even knows what the bus company is supposed to do. Part of me suspect he does, but just refuses to care. That seems very much like him. What do you think?
On Thursday we get to find out who is going to win out; Philip or Peter?

Loslote · 01-24-2010, 08:26 PM

Gertrude will be getting into some more action later on. She's surprisingly agile for her age (142).

Also, referring back to The Downer, I think that this The Great Elven Warrior must be my cousin, or something. . .

Morai · 01-31-2010, 04:28 PM

Ack! I've been found out! Now when I disappear for a month at a time people will be expecting hijinks like that one. Oh well. Pork-flavored soap, anyone?

I also loved the Narnia map, and the bad-tasting bullets.

Loslote · 01-31-2010, 07:23 PM

Fully clothed AND covered with soap? How revolutionary! The Soap Pope must really be on a chocolate-induced sugar rush.

Laurinquë · 02-01-2010, 02:24 AM

The Soap Pope must have been sampling the chocolates for the Moat and Goat Popes to see if they were fit to be given as recompense for our recent terrorist attacks from Mr Tom Bombadil! Good man Formy!

Also, I've been perusing the PandA archive and I noticed that in episode 58 of volume one Alien mentions that the Phantom's mother has leprosy. Is this going to be alluded to or am I getting ahead of myself? Because this would certainly mean that . . . someone is going to be joining the Barrow-Downs soon. The Phantom can't get phone calls from the land of the living can he?
