Come with us now on a journey to the far flung future! To the world of D.O.W.N.E.R News Terminal.

Next week, we return to the good old fashioned Downer. Won't that please you? No? Oh well, you can form an angry mob later, if you wish.

Back in Phantom and Alien world, Peter is showing John Fillis around Beef Buses. Yes, there's a reason it's called Beef Buses. See if you can guess!

Keep up to date with everything Phalian at;

THE COMICAL ARCHIVEY THING OF
BADLY PUT TOGETHER COMIC STRIPS!
YAY!!

Now, on Thursday, what will Formy have to deal with? Well, probably Alien.

I am... flattered?

The lunch in that cafeteria looks great!

John Fillis appears to agree.

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?

Humphrey is the first name that springs to my mind...

How come this "future-Downer" look like a 'Downer from the late seventies or early eighties?

How about Bob?

Okay peoples, today sees the dramatically untriumphant return of The Downer! I've revamped it a bit, but kept the format roughly the same. Hope you like the new look for Hammond the Skull. Yes, that's the name I've chosen.

Thanks a bundle to TheGreatElvenWarrior for her story. Special prizes will go to people who send me stories in the future.

Now, back to Philip and John. Today we learn a bit more about the Bus Company. Philip also drinks some milk. That's good... isn't it.

On Thursday we'll see exactly how Alien got the job in that bar. Maybe.

As always,

KEEP UP WITH THE PHANTOM AND ALINE
IN THIS SPECIAL ARCHIVE OF DOOM!!

Incidental, I have no idea if the real phantom gets blind, stinking drunk as often as the cartoon character will do after he meets Alien. But then, can you blame him? The only reason Formy hasn't drunk all the wine in his church was because Alien put soap in it all...

Is this place run by Alien? Maybe it's the way that he raises money for the new church!
