Quite right. "The Phantom and Alien", not "Alien and The Phantom".

If anyone besides myself could claim the cartoon, it would be Hook- not the green slimeball. He's taken enough from me already. Don't allow him to steal the cartoon.

Oh alright already. I suppose I should have said,

I bet that in the cartoon with just Alien the copper has his earplugs in and is in constant contact with police radio, so of course he's not awol when he does the stuff.

Sorry its a little late...

This week, The Phantom makes a return to the comic proceedings.

Well, I don't remember a thing about that, honestly. Though I did wake up awfully tired this morning...

LEGO bricks behind the fridge? Those would be mine.

I'm not sure I'm sold on the coloured-backgrounded "Phantom and Alien". Is that going to be a new thing, or is it just a passing fancy Maybe it's just the bumpy edge of the "word bubble" that I don't like.

Not that I should nitpick, since I'm not the one providing this delicious free service to the 'Downs weekly.

The coloured backgrounds are mainly to keep up the joke that the phantom has a room in his house which is totally white. In which, for reasons best left unexplained, he has a lot of his conversations with Alien. If there is ever a conversation between Alien and someone else, or the phantom and someone else on a white background, it probably means I forgot.

Also, I happen to like doing the backgrounds sometimes and it does sometimes add to the story, as in last year's Christmas special where the phantom went to Belfalas and there was a desert scene.
