Hmm, just noticed all the gross gooey stuff all over the floor of Collins' office, how strange.

Not knowing the bubbly honours that await him, Formy wonders what he'll do.
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... Monday sees an epic chase between Lommy and Peter. Who will win? Well, just wait and find out.

Anyone who does not believe in soap has got to be pretty darn smelly. That's all I can say.

Er...
Excuse my cheek, but what has belief to do with bathing? One can use soap all right without actually worshipping it...

If I may interject my cheek--why need belief in something lead to worship? I mean, I believe that bagels exist, but I don't worship them--I don't even particularly like them.

I think that actually fits Alien pretty well, doesn't it? Or at least I always had that impression (that does not substract anything from the fact that he is cute, though Well, though it is true we don't have to smell the newspaper yet...).

What! Are all your journalists cockneys or something? Really, the decline in the standard of the news this week is utterly depressing.
It was "Stand at ease, Ghosties" I said, which of course explains the alleged lack of organisation or preparedness amongst the Conspirators. Quote:

I will go to prison for this, even if I die in the attempt. Does anyone think it's silly to think that way, if so, will you join in my attempt to dig my way in using only teaspoons.

Now we take a look at how Formy is doing in his lonely life.
Looks like things could be on the up for him! 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 Now, this was the 50th episode of volume 3. Because I'm not binding myself to a limited number (like the last two), I didn't make this a special episode. (Though, any episode with Formy is always special... Isn't it?) But I can't let it go without something. SO... I'VE MADE A MID-SEASON TRAILER FOR YOU ALL! There are some surprises in store... PHALILIAN RESURRECTION! Took me the best part of today to put together. So I hope you enjoy it. There's no major spoilers, but some teasers and bits and bobs.

It's time to get your fact hats on and press the 'intake' button, because here comes a veritable Sunday dinner of hard hitting and undeniable truth!
I'm sure tp knew something like this was coming... Now we move on to the Phantom and Alien and their wonderful adventures. Today, John Fillis has a break through! 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... Some of you may have already spotted this, but I made two little things on Facebook for P&A. First there's a poll for you to vote on who your favourite character is, and second a little quiz to see Which Phantom and Alien Character Could You Potentially Be? Hope you have fun with them.

It's Thursday, so it's time for another dose of Phalian!!
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... So, Peter Hampton is heading out into the Desert! Will he survive? Will he have time for lunch? What about his unexpected passenger (who I hope looks familiar to you)? Oh my! On Monday Fomry finds himself in a very Soapy situation!

Get your face ready to be pummelled with pure FACTS! It's news time!
Gosh. Speaking of Formy, looks like his dreams of Soapy glory are coming true... 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 Thursday it's Alien time! What adventures will that little scamp get up to? Whatever it is, it can't be good, so hide your valuables and book an appointment with your doctor.

Considering this is Alien we're talking about, it will probably NEVER make sense. Oh well. You're used to that now, right?

This is exactly why Alien should never be allowed near the name changing office. Who knows who else has had their name changed by him? Things could get very confusing, very quickly.

A question...
Hookie, did you perchance draw inspiration for the Old Woman of the Sea from me?

I just asked Josh to 'draw the old woman of the sea, who looks a bit like Alien's costume, only a bit different.' and that's what he came up with. But now that you mention it, she does look a bit like... Um... Never mind.

Interesting thought. Who knows what lurks in Alien's strange and terrible family history?

Interestingly enough, a certain Downer once named me a Sea Hag. I think our resemblance is clear enough even though I don't wear nail polish.
(For the record, do you think anybody but Legate could have taken such a flattering photo?)

You all knew it would happen eventually...
And now the epic adventure takes a turn for the... strange... 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... Wooh! I don't know if you've noticed, but I always leave the titles of upcoming episodes on the website, just as teasers. If you have, then you'll know that this story line, 'The Desert' is three parts, followed by another three parter, 'New Management'. There aren't that many multi-part bits in this volume, but they're always important plot points. With one exception, actually, later on which was due to a mix up.

The headlines this were almost as cloudy as the weather outside right now!
And they should know by now, they need 84 buses to carry Miss Collins's lunch.

But don't forget, Alien is at Bus HQ now, so he'll probably eat (or possibly burn) all the food before it gets to her anyway.

[QUOTE=Aganzir;618399]Interestingly enough, a certain Downer once named me a Sea Hag. I think our resemblance is clear enough even though I don't wear nail polish.
[QUOTE] Whoever was that person, I question their judgement. I see no comparison between the two: 1. The sea hag is green and wrinkly. You are not. 2. The sea hag has a perm, which is obviously a wig. 3. The sea hag has an expression that looks like she can eat anything within her reach. You have a deep concentration on someone (or something) that looks like you want to hit with lightning bolts out of your hands. The similarities are the water, the nails, and I might give you a similar hair color. I imagine your hair could have a silver-ish looking tone depending upon the day and lighting. But it is a nice elvish-silver, not the formerly white washcloth that was used so much it has an off-white/dirty grey color such as the sea hag's hair.
