How does one drink oneself into a "comma"?

I can see drinking oneself to the point of exclamation points, or even question marks, but not a comma. And I won't even mention colons, as that is a rather risque bit of punctuation when drinking.

P.S. Although I have known people who have drank themselves into an ellipsis. One minute they are conscious and speaking, and then all of a sudden they...

Why must P and A Always end like this?

Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the...

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING

Just two more episodes before the epilogue! We'll see just how Legate is getting along. Let's hope he hasn't been drained of all hope. Also, what mischief will Mr Mop get up to? So many questions...

Yay!!! That was epic!!! And who would have expected that, eh?

And looking forward to see how you wrap it up. But Mr. Mop? Incredible!!! Must see!!! We <3 Mr. Mop!!!!!!!

We <√9 Mr. Mop!

I can't wait until he comes back.

It'll be great!

Wait. Alien died too? ;_; That's so sad. I thought that he would just live forever and ever and ever and just go to the Downs because he could.

what part of the phrase 'oh crumbly nuts' do you not understand?

I think it might be the 'nuts' part. But maybe Alien doesn't like being the only one left alive after a nuclear explosion. After all, The Phantom already blew him up to no avail in volume one. Okay, I'll stop now.

Goodness me! Two-hundred and ten newspapers! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! Seriously, guys. Isn't this getting a little out of hand?

The ending approaches... And it's rather predictable from here...

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING

I've updated the archive, by the way, so it should be much easier to navigate. Each comic has it's own little page and you can add comments! So go find your favourite episode and graffiti all over it!
Just ONE MORE EPISODE of Volume three (plus the epilogue). I hope you've all enjoyed it. There's going to be a bit of a break. Some guest comics (still accepting submissions for that, by the way), a bit of Fungotch und Schmurt and maybe a new angle on P&A?
Volume 4 will be a bit easier on the plot thickness, I think. There will, hopefully, be more stand-alone episodes. Though the first few will be 'scene setting' of course.

Some things to look forward to in the next series!!

- Davem
- Professor Alien
- Gertrude
- John Fillis!
- Squatter
- SPM
- Death
- Dr Lhuna
- A Little Green
- A red haired child who shall remain nameless
- Shocking revelations about the phantom's moustache!

And much, much more!
