Does this mean I will be reunited with my Llama lover?

What? You think we have the money to pay for continuity here at the Downer? You must be mad!

Now we're getting into the nitty gritty stuff! PandA is fast approaching dramatic episodes of dramaticness. It's going to blow you away, man.

So, let us get down to business!

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

Come back on Monday for the next episode! That is, if you want to see more of Alien in his new, adorable hat.
I think he's still got a few costume changes in him for this volume.

wilwarin538 · 02-03-2010, 06:18 PM

OUR son?!?!?!?!

haha, what a twist! Lovely!

Philip is pretty awesome all crazy like....

I'm glad that plot twist was a surprise. Though I hope some of you got the clues I planted along the way.

There's an EVEN BIGGER plot twist yet to come. So... WATCH OUT!
In fact, the last episode of Volume three is probably going to be a plot twist.

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-07-2010, 06:02 PM

The story starts to turn odd...

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

Come back on Thursday for THE MOST EPIC EPISODE OF THIS VOLUME!
Thursday's episode is called 'Revelation' and will be just that. Seriously, everything you thought you knew about P&A3 will change dramatically! It's THAT important! Indeed, it's probably the most important episode before the finale. It's the twist upon which the whole story hinges.
Let the speculation begin!

Loslote · 02-07-2010, 06:30 PM

1. Marble Prison is ridiculously easy to escape from.

2. I think Future!Alien came and switched places with Present!Alien, and that's how he got on the bus.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 02-07-2010, 06:41 PM

I bought a pie the other day, it told me that it had the "right" to strangle me. . . I didn't belive it and ate it.

Pitchwife · 02-08-2010, 02:35 PM

Loved the flattened frogs in the last panel!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 02-10-2010, 12:50 AM

The insides of the chair that Boris is sitting in start to fall out when Alien hits it with his stick! The poor chair.

Laurinque, I didn't know that you had it in you to make hats come alive!

I've been wondering if that was significant . . .

What do you mean? Didn't you see my hat take flight today after I got out of class?

But not only did your hat take off, but the rest of you as well. So it doesn't really count!

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-10-2010, 06:02 PM

And now...

The Plot...

She twists!

MUHAHAHAHAHAH!

I wanted to attach a 'dun dun duuuun!' sound affect, but couldn't work out how to do it...

Formendacil · 02-10-2010, 07:56 PM

Guh... guh... g...buh?

*blinks a few times*

But... Peter...

Hampton....

The phantom?

*insane gibbering*

wilwarin538 · 02-10-2010, 08:15 PM

oh snap!!!!

Didn't expect that at all!!!

Glirdan · 02-10-2010, 10:43 PM

Say WHAT!?

Vat a twvist!!! Sorry, couldn't resist...

But in all seriousness here...I think I may have to hide in my bed for the rest of eternity....

Boromir88 · 02-10-2010, 10:55 PM

Hasn't the flattend frog on the road been in P&A before? Or am I just imagining flattened frogs from some uknown place in my memory?

Laurinquë · 02-10-2010, 11:00 PM

*falls off chair in shock*
*falls through floor in even greater shock*
Whaaaaa? WHAAAAAT?!?!

I was not expecting that at all! But it's just as well, I liked Philip better anyway. He's awesome.

Yes, yes it has. See episodes 3, 34, and 52 of Volume 3.

Loslote · 02-11-2010, 12:59 AM

What? Philip is Phantom?? ... actually, maybe we should have seen that coming.

But seriously... wow.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 02-11-2010, 04:46 AM

I haven't been following the comic, so I will have to ask a silly question. . .

Are all these responses for real or is everybody using sarcasm?

It's never too late to start, Rune. There's still hope for you!

So, to explain the reactions: for the last 73 episodes we've been led to believe that it's Philip's son, Peter, who would turn into The Phantom, and now -

But as Lottie said, we might have seen it coming.

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-11-2010, 05:54 AM

Gosh! Just wait until you guys find out who Alien really is.

Just kidding.

... OR AM I!?!

Just to try and save us all from complete and utter shock...is it you?

Eönwë · 02-12-2010, 12:01 PM

Philip? Philip!?

*dies*

We should have guessed something was a bit strange, what with them both having the same first letter and all.

Or maybe Peter inherits the family phantomship later...

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 02-12-2010, 11:08 PM

Hahaha! That was the greatest revelation ever!

I likes Philip!

By the way, did Philip get those costumes from Alien?

Well yea, I still cannot believe it, like, my brain refuses to accept it. Luke's father? Come on. I need Yoda to verify it, otherwise I am not going to believe that. He may still pass the mantle on...

Although in some way, some way it sort of feels as if it "fits"... but... ugh.

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-14-2010, 06:01 PM

News is a bit like nectar. Only, it isn't.

Alien has new plans... Also Squatter is in this episode!

Look forward to Thursday's episode where we get up close and impersonal with THE PHANTOM!

EDITED FOR VEGETABLES....

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 02-14-2010, 06:30 PM

So is that bomb that Alien's holding going to go off? After all, it's only got three seconds left on it.

True. Actually, two out of four is pretty good, considering.

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-14-2010, 06:47 PM

If I'm honest, there was about an hour between writing the headline and writing the story... So... Um... take from that what you will.

Not as far as I know. But then, I haven't tried to move yet...

Hookbill, I shall pay you a cottage of beef, if Lottie is refered to as "local banjo" in all future issues of the downer.

wilwarin538 · 02-14-2010, 11:03 PM

Oooh, noticed Alien's father is employee of the month, hopefully he doesn't go blow him up!!!

Love that Lottie is a man, quite amusing.
