BTW, everyone, I've been trying to come up with a name for the Downer's little mascot; that scull with the thumbs up guy. Any ideas on what he/she/it should be called?
I thought I'd throw in "Larry."

"Hammond Skull" sounds pretty good too, though.

It's time to see what kind of stuff Formy and Alien are getting up to. This week, see a special guest. It's LAL!



Previous episodes can be found in the:

COMICAL ARCHIVE
THING OF DOOM!!


Do you all feel okay with the quick flips between Peter and Alien? Or do you prefer, say, four of one and then four of the other? I've tried that sort of thing later on, but for now it's alternating one at a time... We shall see...

Why do the two last frames look strangely familiar?

It's a sort of running gag. Alien doesn't know what constitutes food and so always ends up making some random filth. Bird droppings, medical waste, laxatives... the list goes on... and on... down from the door where... never mind...

I noticed! It's still funny, I don't think it could be overused as long as it's spaced just right...

Obviously! Pretty cool, I like these appearances of characters we all know from a long time before...

It's okay with me, it works with the classic way of switching heroes before they start to be boring: this way, it makes the story more vivid. Although I think it won't be a problem even if it was a few volumes after each other, especially if the story starts to be more "action-packed" later on.

Either is good... I think that the quick switching builds up suspense, like at the end of the last P&A.
