Alright, I'll tell you. It's the lyrics to Kraftwerk's Das Model played backwards. My brother, Matt (animator and voices of Fungoltch and Schmurt), thought this was funnier than my idea of reading out random bits from every language on an electrical instruction manuel.

Well, it's Friday and it's Phantom and Alien time!



On Monday it's 50TH EPISODE TIME!! Yep, we're almost half way through volume two already! After episode 50 goes up, there may be a short break of some other comics not in this story. Exploring the Phantom and Alien's previous attempts at fame.

Get up! Get out! Get... um... Down? It's time for the news...



And now, the first half of Volume 2 of The Phantom and Alien reaches it's shocking climax!


Comic Archive

Alien’s exploding beans were first mentioned HERE, and later HERE.

There will be no Phantom and Alien on Wednesday or Friday. On Monday will begin a week of 'before they were famous' P&As before we go back into the EPIC story.

The Pahntom is always cute regardless of circumstance... though I think awesome is closer to the mark....

Excellent job Hookbill, it was wonderfully entertaining. Though, I am going to miss Crazy Pete. Waiting anxiously for the next episode!

We didn't exactly see them die, all we saw was a scenario where they almost certainly perished, which is not the same thing as dying. This means that there might be a good chance that the Hoody Cloaky group will return! Yeah!

Keep your feet in the fire, burst your nose on a bookcase and waddle down the road, it's time for the news...



We're taking a break from the EPIC STORY of Volume 2 for a week or so. For now, here's what The Phantom and Alien were up to before they decided to become comic strip stars...


Comic Archive

The conclusion to this 'exciting' adventure will be shown on Friday. On Monday there will be a brief 'previously on The Phantom and Alien' strip and the following week we'll be back into the story.
Hope you enjoy it!

This plan may change, mind you, depending on how I feel...
