(For the record, do you think anybody but Legate could have taken such a flattering photo?)

Wooh! I don't know if you've noticed, but I always leave the titles of upcoming episodes on the website, just as teasers. If you have, then you'll know that this story line, 'The Desert' is three parts, followed by another three parter, 'New Management'. There aren't that many multi-part bits in this volume, but they're always important plot points. With one exception, actually, later on which was due to a mix up.

The headlines this were almost as cloudy as the weather outside right now!

And they should know by now, they need 84 buses to carry Miss Collins's lunch.

Looks like Lommy will have to sit on top of the bus instead; that way they might just have enough room.
But don't forget, Alien is at Bus HQ now, so he'll probably eat (or possibly burn) all the food before it gets to her anyway.

Whoever was that person, I question their judgement. I see no comparison between the two:

1. The sea hag is green and wrinkly. You are not.
2. The sea hag has a perm, which is obviously a wig.
3. The sea hag has an expression that looks like she can eat anything within her reach. You have a deep concentration on someone (or something) that looks like you want to hit with lightning bolts out of your hands.

The similarities are the water, the nails, and I might give you a similar hair color. I imagine your hair could have a silver-ish looking tone depending upon the day and lighting. But it is a nice elvish-silver, not the formerly white washcloth that was used so much it has an off-white/dirty grey color such as the sea hag's hair.

Do you ever find yourself chuckling evilly to yourself while writing letters?

On Monday we see The Desert Part Three! With some truly shocking revelations. Hope they surprise you. But there are bigger and more life changing episodes yet to come, so fear not!

An intriguing question I've stumbled across in my studies of the previous volumes (preceding my addiction to P&A) in the Archives: when, where and how did Lommy metamorph from a penguin-masked human guard to the full-fledged penguin we meet in Vol.2? Are we going to see this story?

Yes that IS explained! Most of the main character's deaths are dealt with. We've already had Davem's.

Hookbill the Goomba · 12-30-2009, 08:24 PM

Agh! Why am I awake at this time?
Oh yes! To post a Phalian Comic!

Hope that made you happy. Now I must go and sleep.

It's time for some news that is a tiny bit out of season...

As many of you guessed, it's Peter's father who was talking to him! What could happen now?

Come back on Thursday for more of Alien's antics as he runs the Bus company into the ground. Do you like his new tie, by the way?

wilwarin538 · 01-03-2010, 06:13 PM

That was great!! And I actually saw that picture of Rune on Facebook and thought it would be funny to see it in the Downer. I'm sure you're excited to get all those Bostonmoot pictures available, they will definitely give you material for a looooonnnnggg time.

Loved the P&A aswell!!!
