The Phantom is planning to fake his own death. As Olburt has already guessed. The idea was first mentioned here.

For anyone who's interested;

In an attempt to gather all the Phantom and Alien comics together, I created a little website for them. If you've missed an episode or two, I hope this can help you catch up on the all the idiocy of this silly comic.

THE PHANTOM AND ALIEN

I've set myself the challenge of including a photo from Oxonmoot on the Monday after the event... Wish me luck.

Great website, Hookbill!

I was a little troubled by this part, though:

She made a brief appearance on an airplane in episode 29 of volume 1. The fact that this character page is here should tell you she's going to come back for some reason.

A little later than usual...

the phantom's excellent work continues to give me more time to eat biscuits.



A shocking development hits The Phantom in today's episode...

What's wrong with the Barrow-Wight? I thought I told him to have my screenname changed before this issue of The Downer would come out of print. Admins...

Anyway, good work with the articles, both of you. I almost cracked up at that "Mithalwen signed by Manchester united" thing.

Is the background of the mini headlines a little green because of Greenie's protest?

Nilp's head found? What, has his Arbeitsbuch or whatever that is killed him now? Haha, if I showed the editions where his photos and names appeared to Frau Ong and the others at their department, then maybe I can get perfect marks this semester at my German course.

It WAS purple or something, then I accidentally hit 'negative' and it went green and I thought, "Hmm. That actually looks better."

I know the phantom isn't around much, but he wanted to send this message to you all;

I don't think it is funny.

I shall be consulting my lawyers.

And what is Manchester United anyway?...no don't tell me, since it involves some benighted place in the grim upnorth I don't want to know.
