You'll be wanting to see your Wednesday edition of The Phantom and Alien I suppose? Well, here it is...



Read the Previous Episodes

Well, that was exciting wasn't it?

And, for those of you still reading this nonsense, here is the next episode of The Phantom and Alien. Episode titles sometimes give away spoilers. Be warned.



To catch up on the story, read the archive!

Do sewer-dwelling penguins give away spoilers too?

If you haven't said that, I wouldn't have looked at it

Hey, but it's great! Waiting for another.

Woop! It's time for some news, you dead people of the Downs.



The adventure continues as Lal, Lommy and Alien reach swamp city!


If it's not making sense, try reading back in the archive!

So, is this the last of the prophesies?

Friday's Phantom and Alien madness! The journey through the sewers comes to an orangey stage. Do you wonder why Green Face Jeff told them to 'beware the orange'? Well, we shall see what happens, won't we?


Catch up on the adventure!

Do you think it's time Alien got some more costumes? I personally like putting him in odd little outfits. I even made an episode in volume 3 where he ends up in a costume shop, with hilarious results.

Hey, yeah!!! Although, just let's not overdo it. Besides, he is cute even without any special costumes. But from time to time... He's great! (The best was, though, when he had this detective costume and even started to speak differently... "MY PIPE'S EMPTY!!!" )

I'm quite certain there is a yellow spandex costume gathering dust, mildew and cobwebs somewhere here on the Downs, left behind by a certain frog. It's a shame to let it go to waste. Why not let Alien give it a little spin?

Really now. If the Downs just kept on sleeping, as was reported previously, when a certain Downer allegedly sneered at BWH and stole his house, do you think they would care more just because you are getting busy with uni? tsk.
