Sorry it's slightly late. It was my father's birthday today and no one told me. Needless to say, a lot of hasty preasent buying and "Yeah we definately had this all prepared weeks ago" went on.
Anyway, you may be interested to see today's Phantom and Alien...


Episodes 1-10

Yep. Lal is quite correct. There is a massive conspiracy. A massive and, ultimately, ridiculously pointless, conspiracy involving... Cheese?

Yeah, it was originally Gil-galad, but then I remembered that he was vaporised by Morsul The Dark in the last episode of Volume 1.

On Monday there begins a two-parter involving The Phantom which contains something of vital importance.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor:

I find I must complain preemptively regarding the upcoming edition of your paper, as I am certain it will contain objectionable material of one sort or another (it always does); ergo, I feel it necessary to sit down while I have the time to list my grievances, because what should happen if, over the weekend, I am unable to protest in a timely manner? After all, I do have my laser hair removal session and the podiatrist's appointment for removal of unsightly toe-nail fungus. Therefore, please take the conjectural complaints listed heretofore in lieu of actual complaints based on as-of-yet unprinted material:

1. I don't like it.
2. That's ridiculous!
3. What, the Barrow Wight again?
4. Who writes this garbage?
5. The ravings of a lunatic!
6. What exactly are your journalistic credentials, I should like to know?
7. Whatever happened to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but...?
8. I don't like the Alien's shade of green. Use more chartreuse.
9. I've never seen such a piece of sycophantic, boot-licking lackeyism!
10. What contemptible nonsense!

Thank you in advance for your cooperation,
Ms. Sibyll Claire Voyant
Salem, Massachusetts

Yes indeed! What kind? I vote for feta.

Also in regards to cheese, is cheese in fact the only thing that can subdue Alien? TGEW and I think it is a possibility.

And, is it true we may be seeing more of my favourite character, John Fillis? Why is it spelled with an "f" anyway?...oh never mind that...

There may be more John Fillis. He'll be a much more prominent character in Volume 3. As to why it's spelled with an 'f'... It's because it's the name of a real person. When we were making the animation, I said I wanted the monster to have a 'normal sounding name'. My brother picked up a picture from a newspaper of a fat guy with a moustache called "John Fillis". I thought it was amusing, so I used it. I may scan the image in and post it up at some point...

Cheese's effect on Alien is the same as almost all foods; he'll eat it.

EDIT:
Here he is, folks...
