Did the phantom find the right answer to the riddle?

I like the fact that not even Alien himself knows.

Is it just me, or has The Phantom and Alien become more popular than the actual Newspaper?

Considering the last cartoon, I am pretty sure that they're related because they both seem to have about the same IQ
I find it funny that since she has no hands, she has to hold her purse in her mouth
but this raises a question...if Alien is capable to reel Mormegil in...does his race have or not have hands?
guess we have our first P&A lore questions

You mean like "do balrogs have wings" - "do the Aliens have arms"?
Well, since the fishing rod seems just floating in the air, then...

And yeah - I think the cartoon seems to be getting more popular, but nah, I don't think it would be so bad that it'd press the newspaper itself away...

P.S. Hookbill, you said the Phantom seems happy... does the eyeal expression (something like facial expression, but since all we can see from his face are the eyes...) somehow indicate his mood? So far I noticed the three grimases... er... eyemasses

These are: OO or DD or OD
if you catch my meaning (he has the second one on the pic with Mrs.Alien)
