More news than you usually get!

And now for your regularly scheduled Phalian.

Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien, you can look back though the...

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING

I spent far too much time re-reading Volume 3 today. It's fun. I miss P&A having good artwork, don't you?

Nah, the artwork is fine. What I've missed for most of Vol. 4 up to now was a plot (or I've been too daft to see it) - but it looks like that's emerging now.
Anyway, yay! John Fillis is back!

Inziladun · 05-09-2011, 12:48 PM

BW is quite photogenic, isn't he?

The Phantom really is being CRAZY isn't he? I mean, who wouldn't want a flaming possum rat on their head? I mean... I would.

Nogrod · 05-15-2011, 06:00 PM

For once the journalists of the Downer magazine can be applauded from having a keen eye on things.

"We're so cool we don't even know what cool is", hits the mark exactly.

If you know what is cool, it means "the cool" has been set by others for you to know and follow. The real cool people just set it for others to "know".

And to lmp: Pants? Really? Pants are soo last season anyway...

Galadriel55 · 05-15-2011, 06:10 PM

What? Hedgehogs?! They are NOT cool.

When is the Penguin-Support Group going to have its first meeting?

So DRINKO the Drinks Machine is back! I hope you're all happy with that. Apparently machinery can also go to the after life.

In a few weeks I'm going to do a little break from P&A. There will be a replacement comic for, I don't know, three weeks? It's going to be The Adventures of Alien's Dad. So, look forward to that!

Btw, I love the Greenie and Agan picture. Where do you even get all these Downer photos?

Well, of course you won't tell me: a master never reveals his secrets. >.<

Well, there was something that I was going to poke at just now, but I forgot what it was I was going to say... Oh well...

From Facebook, of course. Be wary of ever friending Hookbill there lest you want your picture in the Downer too.

That would make sense.

I haven't thought of that, because, well, I don't have Facebook.

For those of you wondering, this is what Bubble Buddha will look like if he ever appears in the Phantom and Alien...

He looks friendly, doesn't he?
Nobody knows what Bubble Buddha's philosophy was. They just know he was a happy bubble head who floated around the universe, kicking butt and fighting crime!

Pitchwife · 05-23-2011, 12:38 PM

Bubble Buddha is awesome!

Eeep! A bit late because I, um, forgot to post this last night. Sorry everyone!

She's already deploying her forces.

So how exactly did this thing in the jar develop into the mutant bus driver we all know and love?
And Alien's penchant for expressive non-sequiturs is obviously inherited from Daddy. Profound episode!

narfforc · 05-31-2011, 05:26 AM

Dear Editor, I feel that I must jump to the defence of Lalwende. If she were any more Northern she would leap about shouting 'Och aye the noo' every 3 minutes, and what's more she wouldn't own a whippet and wear a flat cap as she does, she'd own a Westie and wear a wee bonnet. So I can only deem that these so called experts who claim she isn't Northern work for Santa at the North Pole...

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-05-2011, 05:39 PM

I'm sure I had a plan for the 250th edition long, long ago. But I never wrote it down anywhere, so I had to make something up on the spot... Which is how I usually work.

Next week is the SHOCKING and heart wrenching conclusion to the adventures of Alien's Dad! Believe me when I tell you; there's a twist at the ending that you'll never see coming! No, really, you'll NEVER GUESS. Unless you do...

Galadriel55 · 06-05-2011, 05:57 PM

First of all, to put the main article in plainer terms, we miss BWH's posts around here! Lately all that he does (judging by the "Who's online" thingy) is search the Members List.

Secondly, I never knew that Pitchie was an orc. I don't think it was him: if he really was, he would be lynched on Day1 every WW game that he took part in. No one likes the nassty orcsees. The orc just wants to push off the blame.

And last but not least, I am not ImposterGaladriel54, but ImposterGaladriel56.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-05-2011, 07:47 PM

The BWH does paperwork?

I had no idea...

Well, he posted on the older threads, but nothing recent. And when I'm really bored I look at who is online and what threads they are viewing to see if there's anything interesting (in other words stalking), and I've seen BWH a few times, but every time he was looking through the Members list. Well, once - a User Profile. I wish he'd post more - after all, it's his website...

PS: Why am I saying this? It's only supposed to be about facts.

PPS: he does indeed have a nice hat.
