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... On Monday we see The Desert Part Three! With some truly shocking revelations. Hope they surprise you. But there are bigger and more life changing episodes yet to come, so fear not!

An intriguing question I've stumbled across in my studies of the previous volumes (preceding my addiction to P&A) in the Archives: when, where and how did Lommy metamorph from a penguin-masked human guard to the full-fledged penguin we meet in Vol.2? Are we going to see this story?

Want the facts? Then look no further.
Honestly, the phantom must be rolling with glee at all this media attention... Now we return to Peter's adventures in the desert. But he meets someone you may find familiar... 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 The biggest plot twist of the series is coming up fast. On Thursday we get to see what Alien's been up to in his meeting with his mother. How can she deal with him and how will he convince her to give him money for his musical tour? After all, he needs to get people to listen to his hit songs. They're hits, you know.

I've re-loaded the page five times, looked at "Archive Thing" latest episode page, and every time all my computer will display is a big empty space where this week's P&A should be. What am I going to do? It works for all the other P&As, but not this one. *sobs*

PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING Good grief! Alien takes out Collins! What next? I suspect it will have something to do with breakfast. Alien likes breakfast after all...

I've added another desktop picture to the P&A Downloads page.
When we were making this Thursday's episode my brother and I had a long discussion about weather Alien should be wearing a cartoon love heart costume or a real human heart costume. In the end we went for the cartoon version, but the real-style one was also drawn for you amusement. Now you can have it as a background image, if you like.

Sorry, alatar, but your elephant impersonating days are at an end. You've been found out!
Now, with Colins dead and Peter in the desert, who is there to take over the Bus Company? 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... Now we know we're in trouble! With all that power at his invisible fingertips, Alien can wreak havoc like never before! How will the city survive his reign of insanity? It probably won't.

I suspect it will be the very opposite of wonderful actually. At least for the people working there, anyway. Poor old Barry Wight.

But it's Alien! He brings joy to the world. Uh oh! what's going to happen to Barry Wight? He's going to die, isn't he? See my precognition at work!

Even though it's Christmas eve and I doubt there will be anyone reading it, here's this week's second P&A.
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... With his Big Egg in place, Alien starts making changes. Where did they find that big egg? They probably stole it...

It's about time the power was given to me... And now Greenie will have to bake me cookies for the rest of my life!
By the way, it was horrible to read through the beginning of the article while trying to listen to a very good song at the same time.

Peter Hampton has problems with authority. I wonder if the mysterious voice that minds of he takes over is Peter's father. . .

I completely forgot to mention this! For Christmas I was sent a special gift by TheGreatElvenWarrior and Laurinquë! It's a magical and very unusual edition of The Downer. No P&A, though. That upset me a little.
HERE IT IS! (It's a bit big, so I didn't post it)

No, he just killed General Crock-Face. Poor guy. It'll become clear why he ended up with a crocodile face when we meet Death later in the series.
The very clever amongst you may have spotted that on the comic archive there is a list of the upcoming episode titles. There is a small spoiler hidden in them.

It's time for some news that is a tiny bit out of season...
As many of you guessed, it's Peter's father who was talking to him! What could happen now? 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... Come back on Thursday for more of Alien's antics as he runs the Bus company into the ground. Do you like his new tie, by the way?

That was great!! And I actually saw that picture of Rune on Facebook and thought it would be funny to see it in the Downer. I'm sure you're excited to get all those Bostonmoot pictures available, they will definitely give you material for a looooonnnnggg time.
Loved the P&A aswell!!!

Time for more Phalian nonsense! See if you can spot the special guests!
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... Rune's Quality Beef always gets into the public eye. Quote:

Well, this thread appears to be dying. I wonder if I'll get to the end of P&A 3 before the mods / the man finally closes me down?
Now, what will Peter do with his father? 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... Come on people! I want to hear more wild speculation about Phalian! Will Peter kill his father? What will Alien do with the Bus company? How will John Fillis get better? Wait, okay, that last one doesn't count... OH! And extra special and magical thanks to TheGreatElvenWarrior for the second story this week! Not has a submission in ages!

1. Will Peter kill his father? No, because his father stole Frodo's mithril shirt. 2. What will Alien do with the Bus company? Rope the buses together and use them as a traveling stage for his musical act. 3. How will John Filis get better? He won't; he'll just mutate into a giant talking carrot. Which I suppose is better...

I guess I shouldn't have read The Phantom Bus Driver. Is P&A going to continue to follow that story line? I sort of hope not, I don't want P&A to and so soon. But I must admit The Phantom Bus Driver was great. Go Gertrude! Quote:

Yes... And no... The Phantom Bus Driver covers only a little of the story. Here in P&A, the ending is going to be twisted!
