Kudos to Purple Pete for giving the lions new lives outside the cage.

The Adventures of our dynamic duo are put on hold while The Phantom and Alien take over. This week, a familiar face.



Can I just say I really loved drawing that first panel? It's made me laugh ever since it was suggested to me.

TheGreatElvenWarrior has been trapped in the Barrow!
The first panel is my favourite! And the last is my second favourite! Loved it, Hookbill

So, the Barrow-Downs is revealed as having an Establishment of its very own! It has a Lincoln's Inn Fields and a Whitehall - superb! This must mean there are also Wightish civil servants, and an M'eye'5! *groan* But this begs the question - if the B-W is the Prime Minister, then who is the Queen who he and the Establishment serves?

Yes, that panel is especially brill. As one indentured to civil servitude it's made me laugh!

The matter of the Wightish Monarchy will be dealt with... probably in volume 4 or 5. Which, by the by, I spent the other day planning out when I should have been doing coursework.
I think Downs' Civil servants will be looked into in a future volume. I had a little idea I don't mind sharing with you. Basically, different aspects of Downs society would be looked into in each volume;

Vol 2: Police
Vol 3: Funeral directors
Vol 4: Medicine
Vol 5: Civil servants.

In most of these instances, it is Alien who annoys the heck out of the respective people.

Oh, and the Downs' Spy type thing is called 'BI-5'. Barrow Inteligence section 5. They have a sort of rivalry with the CIA, 'Cann-Dum Inteligence Agency'. Yeah, that was a running 'joke' in the newspaper. I toyed with the idea of The Phantom joining BI-5 in volume 3, but it didn't pan out.

Thumbs up Not that it makes a lot of difference...

Here is the News. Coming to you every hour upon the hour. Here is the News. The Weather's fine but there may be a meteor shower. And so on...



The EPIC adventures of The Phantom and Alien continue...

Also, I'm thinking of putting P&A up three times a week. I'm really excited about volume 3 and sort of want to get there soon. Are you happy with it as it is or do you want MORE?
