I am so confused.... in a good way!

Hookbill the Goomba 05-23-2010 05:11 PM

Back referencing Downers from years ago is sometimes funny...

Gertrude is up to something... but what?

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 plot thickens. Like your soup.
Come back on Thursday when we shall see how Peter is getting on with taking over an empty building!
Also, anyone who is interested in helping out for The Downer's 200th edition, PM me for fun times and cool stuff. I've got most of my plans ready but am still open to suggestions. :)

Loslote 05-23-2010 06:03 PM

Clearly she is testing the King Bus' regenerating powers!

...they don't seem to be very good.

Blind Guardian 05-23-2010 10:57 PM

I have been spending this whole night reading these comics! *hehe*

Question: is the guy on the home page standing next to the bus the same guy as in the blue cloak?

I think the guy on the home page is Peter Hampton, while the Phantom is Philip Hampton. (The last name is Hampton, right?)

Read it all and you will understand. :)



...

Um... that was not maybe a good way to say it... you won't understand anything, but that's the point...

Blind Guardian 05-24-2010 10:15 AM

I'm not any close to understanding. Oh, well. They're still fun to read!

Yes, it's a not-very-good anagram of 'Phantom'. ;)

I think Gertrude is pretty cool, and now she's like a spy, which is cooler! :D

Another Question: Volume 3 Episode 84: Gutter Press and 87:Park and bribe, aren't those two orange haired people the same? How did it change so fast?

Congratulations! Welcome to the Phantom and Alien cult! Er, I mean 'fan club'. This is the way in which we spend most of our time. Have you read volume one yet? It's my personal favourite. Well, after this one.

Blind Guardian 05-25-2010 11:15 PM

I've read them all (it only took two days!) but that one made me laugh! "I'm calling the police!"

Eönwë 05-26-2010 04:33 PM

But... but... it was a publicity stunt to raise awareness for the Wights' Green Mould Charity! All we want is for all wights to have the opportunity to have that green fungus that we all take for granted! *is offended at lack of public support*

edit: 3000th post? WOOOO! But I'd been planning to save it for something special. Then again, what is more special than having your name in the top story of the Downer's magazine? :p

Hookbill the Goomba 05-26-2010 04:48 PM

Going to go back to the once a week P&A from Monday for a week. Josh has been busy with his collage final project thing. BUT! I am trying to talk him into making a Phalian animation. It'll be epic. :D

Loslote 05-26-2010 07:40 PM

Peter looks rather awesome in the fifth panel. :p And I love how more darts land in the hat between panels. :p

Blind Guardian 05-26-2010 08:37 PM

This is enteresting. Me likes

Laurinquë 05-28-2010 11:57 AM

Death has to drink petrol. That's how he can shoot flames out of his eyes! :D

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-28-2010 03:16 PM

I like the pig there. But, has neither of you noticed... *looks around carefully* ...The Piano?? :eek:

Yes indeed, The Piano. (... ... ... ...) Er... what about it? *feels stupid*

And speaking of feeling stupid, I only just noticed that Aunt Bob was the nun we saw in Episode 002, wasn't s/he?

Well, The Piano was seen repeatedly in the position of a grey embassy (in the background) of various pics in various episodes. You can try to look for it, but be careful... it might look for you... (I think Nietzsche said something like that...)

That piano is a creeper. Always slinking about mischievously.

Forgive me. Death shots it out of his mouth, not his eyes. :(

Probably no P&A this Thursday, but we'll be back with a bang next week! Expect thrills, spills and drills! Note, none of those may actually be in any of the episodes. Especially the drills.

wilwarin538 05-30-2010 05:20 PM

"Why is there an eel?" hahaha, love that.

Lostlote, please leave my fellow muffins alone. :p

Personally, I'm more concerned about your Doctor Who habits Hookbill. Er, I mean 'Hammond the Skull'. By the way, I'm still a child right? I deserve Jelly Babies too. :D

Hm... I wonder if there's burnt fragments of the Downer Newspaper in the alternate universe?

Does that mean she's still with the diamonds? In that case, I might steal one or two. I have a college education to pay for. :Merisu:

Quite possibly. *reaches through* :D

On Thursday we'll be seeing some more of that King Bus. It really does seem to get everywhere, doesn't it?

Loslote 06-06-2010 05:20 PM

Oh, goodness! Where did the gun come from? Who gave Lommy a gun? :eek:

Also, they didn't take the money because they knew I'd already stolen it and exchanged it for fake gold. ;)

Hookbill, my computer has started eating your image links again. No P&A for me it seems. You couldn't find some way to fix that could you? :( It's not working on the archive site either for some mysterious reason. I blame the oil companies.


By the way, nice wizards you have there. You can never have too many Gandalfs.

If it was the final edition of the Downer. . . I`d have to. . . do something drastic!!!

Official announcments. . .for the archive.
 
Rune's Quality Beef would like to point out that our investment in a statue of Bernard Evans has not only been our most profitable investment ever, but it has also increased the living standards of pigeons Portsmouth.

Also that "Mike's" wasn't for me. . . I was just holding it for a friend.

Pitchwife 06-09-2010 04:18 PM

Poor Lommy... she should have read her Nietzsche more carefully:(...
