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?

Yes that IS explained! Most of the main character's deaths are dealt with. We've already had Davem's.

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...

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*

Hmm. Not sure why that's happening. TRY THIS LINK and I'll look into it.

It works! Thank you. I don't know why that happens either, but I do know that my computer is very reluctant to load any picture posted through tinypic.com. Does anyone else out there have problems viewing this P&A I wonder?

By the way, the Downer this week was really cute. It amused me greatly.

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 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.

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.

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!

I knew I was forgetting something! We'll just have to send it to you later then, if we find the time to make another atrocity. Thanks for posting it, Lady Great was very excited to tell me you would.

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.

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!!!

Oh you know it!
I'm thinking of a theme surrounding Formy the maffia boss.

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?

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!

Okay then.

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...

Hey now, we can't allow that to happen, can we? Downer-readers of the world, unite!

Well, every archetypal hero has to confront/do battle with his/her father figure at some point*, don't they? I'm sure Joseph Campbell wrote something of the like somewhere... Witness Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader... (Seriously, I should go to bed.)

It's not dying! Not yet. Wait, isn't everything here dead anyway?

I escaped by the way, one of their pulleys broke and I agreed to fix it in exchange for my freedom. But all in all, amazing article. You too Hookbill, I liked the wig. I want it for a pet.

John Fillis IS going to get better! He will become even more monstrous!

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!

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!

The little Alien sketch in the background is really cute, too.
