Very nice job on the cover story, Hookbill, I know a couple of people who's whole brain seems to be a brick!

I'm beginning to like Volume 2 of Phantom and Alien better than the old ones.

Glad you like the new style P&A. Next week, THE CONSPIROCY begins!

I would like to comment the article "Manwë stumbles". What I could possibly say about it is that it.... shocked me. I didn't expect an article written in such a "serious" manner ever printed in "The Downer". I mean... it's not... crazy. Or, at least not the way the others usually are. Odd.

The Downs' insanity quota has been down of late.

If you want to rectify this, you can always write an article yourself. I'm always happy to accept submissions (as it means less work for me... *cough*)

The Conspirocy? Oh no! I don't know if I want my brother to read that!

But Hookbill, You should be very proud! I have converted my seven year old brother to P and A fandom... I think he has started a club...
But now he and I can qoute about five P and As and The Job Hunt!

Well, I've been thinking about this and discussing it with my siblings and have come to a decision! Because this new volume of The Phantom and Alien is quite long and complicated, I'm going to start publishing two strips per week.*

So, for you Phalian fans, here is this weeks second episode...

Episode 002
Episode 001

*Do note that this may change as soon as I start Univercity again. But I do have about 90% of this story planned out and most of Volume 3 in the works as well.

Manwë has a ninety-foot train!!?? It is HO gauge, er, scale for those serious hobbyists, or OO? Playmobil or Lego? Is it possible he is the secret author of the Thomas the Tank Engine series, another of the maia who yearns for creativity but, like Aulë, does so secretly in fear of retribution?

And now I can't decide if Manwë would be Mr. Conductor or The Engineer.

YAY!!!!!!! MORE P AND A!!! The rabid fans are more happy now!

Because they have been trying to get me to do two a week for the last year or so now. I finally gave in.

Do they read Phantom and Alien too? But in my opinion, I think that you should've put two out a week for a long time... But that's just an opinion...
