I vote for allowing Blind Guardian back as a reporter for the Downer, whether or not she was in fact hired in the first place. It's just what I needed, an extra dose of surrealism!

That was a truly classic ending. Now I am going to have to go over to the achieve thing and try to remember what happened last year with the explosion. ;)

Oh, and Hookbill? Do tell your brother that I'm sorry for the accusations concerning his supposed inferior artistic ability. All allegations are false I tell you; that was a great volume. :D

Indeed, BG should be writing articles for the Downer always! :D


But you never actually dismissed his artistic ability; only his humour. :p We could both apologise for that.

To whet your apatites, here's a quick poster to show you what's to come in Volume 4!

Expect a website redesign coming soon as well. :)

Well, I'll be stealing as much art work as I can get away with for Volume 4. ;)

Squatter is hot. :smokin:

In other words, I loved Volume Three and can't wait till Four.

Awesomeness! The Time-travel Hat!

And is the Fish Man back with The Hoody Cloaky Group?

O-M-G! That was epic! I can't wait for volume 4! YEAH! I also have to read over and see where he blew up the contry (hehe Hookbill sceen 4, it's spelled wrong).


also, I like my craziness. ;)

I agree. This is going to be quite good.

I don't really look like that, you know. I promised Hookbill a skip full of custard if he could get someone to say I was hot.

You cleaned the skip before you filled it with custard, right?

He prefers custard filled with bicycle parts and garnished with motor oil and masonry dust; you get a more interesting trifle that way. Besides, most of that sort of thing gets saved up for the shareholder AGM. That's what happened to my TNT meringue.

You got that right, sir!

And now the news...

COMIC ARCHIVE THING

Feel free to re-read volumes 1, 2 and 3 before 4 starts up in a few weeks.
Also, buy Phalian merchandise from THIS page! Want a P&A t-shirt? Washing machine? Gun? Just go for it!

Blind Guardian did the second story for this week? This is wonderful! :D I'm glad that she's writing for the Downer; all of her stories are ridiculous and random, just like the Downer should be.

Oh, and Oddwen's P and A (plural) are awesome as well! I do wish she got more of an opportunity to show her guest/fan art off.

... Oh.... Oops... I can't be bothered changing it now. :D

Oh yeees, indeed, really, truly brilliant!!! Through "And you're a microwave!" to Mr. Mop and the rather cute expression in the end :D Lovely.

Oh well. It was still a good story. And I still enjoy it when she writes. ;)

I wondered why it said that. :)

Because Hookbill always forgets to credit the right people for articles. :p

Faster than the speed of a creeping Wight's hand, it's the Downer Newspaper!

Oh good gracious me!
Now, our last guest comic comes from the very mad TGEW. It's like having Father Christmas dressed as the Easter Bunny!

Next week you can look forward to the inspiring and exciting adventures of Fungotch und Schmurt as they do battle with the evil Grmfologorothernafdlp and his army of dequems.

It's fun for the family!

Lies! Lies and slander! I am most certainly not mad! This is ridiculous! :p

Also, I am very glad that my writing showed up. I only wrote it in pencil.

What does Alien say in the "But Just Then"? Shesh! And I thought I had messy handwriting :)

I say give Squatter his asparagus! And stop this nonsense!

I've been meaning to ask this for a while:

Is there anyone here willing to teach me German? Pitchwife? Anyone...?

I tried to learn Portugese online (well, learn enough of it for a Brazil Model UN confrence awhile ago) and you really have to have an in-person teacher. Online just isn't the same... :(

NEWS MAKES YOU FUN HAPPY GOOD.

Well, I'm afraid you've mist most of the episodes of Fungotch unt Shcmurt's adventures. Let me tell you, they are exciting and unexpected. Or something...

And so, next week, we see the start of the new era. The new series. The new volume. THE QUEST FOR THE EPIC ADVENTURE! Hope you're looking forward to it. It is looking forward to you! :eek:

For once, I am pleased by something Rune did! :eek:

Rune's Quality Beef is always looking to improve our products and constantly try to develop new ones.

That is why we expect to launch different almost meat free vegetarian products within near future.

Like our new improved minced beef with only 12% beef, instead we have put in 88% of lard. Of course you can still get our standard minced beef, which still consists of 15% beef, 70 % lard and 15% hollow threats.

This will be the biggest thing to hit the vegetarian world since John Goodman accidentally sat on a carrot.

Yaaay for the return of Fungoltch unt Shcmurt! That was... apocalyptic.
On the philological side, Shcmurt seems to be speaking a different dialect in this epzold, but the corpus is yet too small for determining its precise relationship to Middle High Fungoltchian.

Rune, if you're indeed intending to adjust your nutrition habits towards eating more chicken, I can't recommend anything better than Pitchie's Quality Poultry. Maybe I could even interest you in a merger?:Merisu:

What? I make one drunken proposal to a bunch of asparagus, and all of a sudden Rune is off his meat-only diet? It's a witch-hunt, I tell you. Fortunately, it would help six ongoing suits for bigamy (twelve Brussels sprouts, a plate of string beans and a salad bar) and one for breach of promise (an upstanding cauliflower of good family) if everyone were to eat the plaintiffs. Therefore I counsel immediate vegetarianism and a five-hundred per-cent increase in the size of everyone's meals.

Hey! That's my Classic Fake-Bacon recipe! :eek::mad:

Loslote's Better Quality Bacon would totally take you up on that. Just sayin'. ;)

"ESPRORSIONS!"

*dies of laughter*

:D

I concur!


How about everyone just eats salads! Go Vegetarians!

Yeah, go, go over there...where the meat isn't. Mmmmmmmmmm.

And now, we run into the first episode of a new era of Phantom and Alien madness! Get ready for...

THE QUEST FOR THE EPIC ADVENTURE!

Volume 4 is going to be a lot less plot thick. I want to get back to the more jokey, one liner style of volumes one and two. I always got the feeling the plot was taking over in 3 and leaving too many people out in the dark.
You don't NEED to read volume 3 to understand 4, but it may be neat to do so. Hopefully, this story will stand alone and be enjoyable.
Next week, we'll catch up with the phantom. You remember where he was at the end of volume 2? Well, we'll find out, won't we?

BOW TIES ARE COOL. Incidentally, so are explosions. I like explosions. And exploding bow ties are even better.

We Gollums of the world must protest, being left in the dark is the only way to live properly. That said, P&A one liners are much easier to quote at random during class and on the bus. I look forward to this. :D

I like explosions.


I think I've already lost track...How in the world did Alien get a job at a school?!

I just noticed, is it me or does that balrog have WINGS?? :eek:

Well spotted Laurinque, it must be one of those false ones you can buy from Onewrong.com.

What? Where? ...Oh I see. Scary looking Balrog.
