No it doesn't. :p

You'll see Alien's Father in Volume 3. And we've already seen Phantom's grandfather back in Volume 1. I don't know if I'll bring him back. He will be named in the next volume, though. Just so you know. There'll be a portrait of him in the background of a random episode.

Oh come on, don't underestimate us devout fans. We will certainly spot it even without you bringing our attention to it! (Though it's cool! :cool: )

And the plot of this one really seems to culminate :)

Oooh, great episode Hookbill!:D

Haven't we also seen Phantom's nephew? (or am I just imagining things :rolleyes:)

Yep. Looks like I'll have to make a family reunion episode. ;)

Oh, and don't forget his (probably blind by now) younger brother. ;)

I like the volume 3 icons. Alien looks so cute!

Woo! It's news time! And this time, it's impersonal.

The adventure draws ever closer to its epic conclusion. Who will live? Who will die? Who will The Phantom kill? Everyone? Probably.

Take this opportunity to look through the Comic Archive. Who knows what clues it holds?

I hope you're all enjoying Volume 2. I can promise you that Volume 3 will be even better. :)

To the so-called Editor:

I must again vehemently protest your staff's annoying lack of mentioning me in your inane paper. It has been several issues now, and I have not been linked to iceberg lettuce sinking shrimp boats, cows that lack udder sense, or Scotland Yard's dandelion problems. How can I adequately complain about the infuriatingly nonsenical manner in which you portray yourself as a purported print purveyor, providing puerile press for the pathetic public, if I can't get worked up about anything? Your lack of providing me with a reason to attack you is preposterous! In fact, the provocative manner in which you are not attacking me is in itself a provocation. Stop it this instant!

Yours affectionately,
Morthoron

Dear me. Where was I during all of this? I always seem to miss the weekly destruction of the Barrow-Downs. I really ought to give Tom Bombadil a break from his daily harassment for a while and pay more attention to the local news.

Oh yes, and I was also wondering if you were looking for any article submissions Hookbill; the most extraordinary things happened over at TGEW's barrow the other night. I think they would make for a good article.

I'm always open to submissions. They make me so happy! :D

Laurinquë 04-27-2009 04:01 AM

Excellent! When would you like it in by?

Well, because I'm going to be quite busy this weekend, I'll probably be making the paper on Friday (As opposed to the Sunday night, which is when I usually throw it together. :D ), so any time before then.

By the way, I hope you people doing the P&A guest comics are coming along nicely. Not long to go now. Volume 2 will be done in about two weeks. Episode 100 has a really big cliffhanger! :eek:

Yes, you should stop, ever since Tom Bombadil first came to your house, things have really gotten out of hand. Coming through a rift in time and space can be tiring work, you know.

Extraordinary things happened at my barrow? What about the things that happened at your barrow?

Hookbill the Goomba 04-29-2009 05:36 AM

Well, there are only FOUR episodes left! Pretty soon we'll reach the end of The Phantom and Alien Volume 2. What surprises are still in store? Will The Phantom get out of this situation? Let's see, shall we?

It's been a lot of fun, this season. I hope you've all enjoyed it. :)

About today's installment of Phantom and Alien!
 
I love lal's expression at the end of this!

I just noticed how obsessed I am.. Last night I was discussing Phantom and Alien with my little brother, I decided that he is not a hard core fan because he doesn't know who Fungoltch und Schmirt are.

:D That's funny. Anyway, I mentioned them and he said "Who?" Although my brother has created a Phantom and Alien fan club, he should learn how to read, then he could read more of them. His favourite is the one with the "Cat teleporter".

Your little brother may have a P&A fan club; but does he have Volume 3 artwork as his desktop? :D

Anyway, I like the latest Phantom and Alien. The suspense is killing me . . . for the third time.

This latest episode is probably my favorite this season, though I have a lot of favorites this season. ;)

Hookbill the Goomba 05-01-2009 10:25 AM

Well, it's Friday... So, before I go to sleep, here's the next episode of Phantom and Alien!

http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/Episode%20097.JPG

Gosh! What will happen next? Is Alien still alive? What is Death up to? Will we find out?

Check back in the ARCHIVE for possible clues...

This time next week will be the finale. I hope you're all looking forward to it! Just a reminder, though, after episode 100 there will be the special three-part Phanston and Ailsbry: Private Detectives story, followed by three guest comics.

Fun times ahead!

Of course he is! Phantom put a chainsaw through him AND blew him up and he survived.

Hookbill the Goomba 05-03-2009 04:15 PM

It's been a long and tiring day of excitement for me and I'm going to have to go to sleep in a few minutes otherwise I'll fall onto my keybg6gybhyv;;'.//...

thanks to Formendacil for the second story! It's cool. It was completely unintentional that there were TWO stories about The Phantom this week. I don't know how it happened...

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ah/Week147.png

As Volume 2 wraps up, we head into the scary domain of the set up for the next adventure! :eek:

http://www.freewebs.com/joelcornah/Episode%20098.JPG

I love obscure references to old episodes. See if you can find out which one...
IN THE... Comic Archive!! Yay!!

Next week sees the start of Phanston and Ailsbry, Private Detectives!!

I hope those guest comics are coming along nicely.

Laurinquë 05-03-2009 04:24 PM

I approve of "Elusive Cure found Hiding in Wine Cellar." Particularly the picture. But I was wondering about my article; was it unworthy of publication? I sent it in at about 9:30 pm UK time on Friday. I hope it was not too late.

Other comments:
Mayonnaise! Hooray! I love Morsul, too bad we can't his tiny legs in this one.

Your article is fine! It's really good, actually. It's just Formy got there before you. Yours will be in next week, though. :)

Aw...I missed Morsul. Yay for evil mayo. Or is mayo evil just for the sake of being mayo?

No, it is because it's low fat :)

Hey, fantastic! How nice :)

And indeed, questions like "Is Alien still alive? What is Death up to? Will we find out?" are of course hovering over the grand final scene of this volume.

But for now, looking forward to Phanston and Ailsbry... I especially like Ailsbry :D

Not again! (By the way, Morsul will be making a little cameo in volume three. It's a good one as well).

Right, it's time for THE PENULTIMATE EPISODE OF VOLUME 2!!! SO MANY QUESTIONS UNANSWERED AND UNANSWERABLE! What on earth is The Phantom going to do next. Let's find out, shall we...

Well, this story wraps up with THE LONGEST P&A COMIC EVER on Friday. It's been a fun ride and I'm really looking forward to getting your feedback on it. Volume 3 is coming along nicely and I hope you don't mind the change of artist. It's for the best and it looks amazing. (There's even a clip of BABY ALIEN in the background).

On Monday, it's time for those intrepid detectives, Phanston and Ailsbry, to wow us with their deductive (and destructive) skills.

I really enjoy the drawing of the last three frames - especially the mayo splatting in Alien's face and the phantom's throwing motion, well done. :D
