Yes, that's mostly the whole point of this volume. To see The Phantom and Alien's back story.

But remember, things are not always what they seem. Formy ISN'T out of waffles.

As part of my little series of alternate papers, here is, in contrast to last week’s tabloid, the broadsheet paper, The Wight Times. It’s a serious paper for serious people.

Let’s get into the weird and wonderful world of The Phantom and Alien. Today, Peter Hampton takes his bus out for a spin. But where has he stopped?

The new series is drawn by my brother Joshua and he’s always eager to know what you think of his style. I quite like the look of it and am glad he’s decided to do it because I certainly couldn’t have drawn anything in today’s episode.

So, yes, for more of this sort of thing, and to catch up on season two, you can still look into;

THE COMIC ARCHIVE
OF DOOOOOM

Warning: may not actually cause or affect any doom of any kind.
Or, if it does cause some sort of doom, it will probably involve an explosion and a large balloon. With pudding.

Oh my. I've been gone a couple of weeks and I miss a dreadful lot. To think that this thing is what keeps me to the Downs... Now I must begin reading! Great job, Hookbill.

Hookie you can tell your brother that he's doing great. I love the characters' facial expressions and how lively the pictures are.

Hookbill, your brother has a great hand at using paint (must be a bizarre family trait--one of which I am indeed jealous of)... I can't get over the frog in the fifth frame. It's cute even if it was just cut into three sections by a bus!

That Wright Times is far too serious for me. I much prefer the Downer. I strongly disagree with this nonsense that they nabbed anyone's sanity. Snorkel. What would the Downer what with it anyway? Mud slinging, I say.

I have no idea what you are talking about, so here's a picture of an Oddwen with a box on its head.

I also approve of your brother's artwork. Mayhaps you should recruit him to the Downs...
