I cheered at the last panel. Literally. Out loud. COL. It seems that some major event transpired to keep The Phantom from repeating this action ad infinitum.

Silly. You can't be a criminal if you don't *sneak* places!

If it isn't news, it isn't in the Downer...
MEGA THANKS TO LOSLOTE FOR WRITING THE SECOND STORY!!  Cardinal Mardinal is getting a little over zealous... Poor Cardinal Rardinal.   Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING I think that's the goriest P&A ever. It's only soap, so it's not so bad. I think. You guys like soap? Anyway, on Thursday things get interesting as we join up with Peter and Death once again as their plans reach... THE SURFACE!

Here's something totally random but totally true: my little sister Squishy and I were looking for something to eat, and we found this thing of oats...so naturally we started eating them plain. They're not that bad. Taste of cardboard!

Time for Thursday's Phalian!
 Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING On Monday we get another glimpse at... A KINGLY BUS. The funeral gets closer and closer. But things may not turn out quite the way you expect.

Double posting is bad for your health...
 Formy makes a break for it!  Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING Come back on Thursday to see the Memories of Aunt Bob! I hope you're excited. There's a lot more craziness to come in the next few weeks! On a side note, if anyone is interested in a secret project for the Downer #200, drop me a PM for a discussion of ~PLANS~. Also, if you have any ideas for what you'd like to see for the 200th edition, let us know! There should be some insanity on this thread. It's been too serious for too long.

Shame on the Downer! Everybody knows that the Barrow is much better writing.
Incidentally, was that hill eating things too? I think that it ate my pet hobbit.

Poor Formy! That look on his face in the last panel - utter dejection. Makes you want to pat his head, doesn't it?

It's your Thursday filling of Phalian!
 Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING Just five episodes away from the most dramatic episode yet! Keep your eyes open for clues and shoes! I hope this episode spreads some light on things. I also hope you like TP's tie.

New from the Downer, it's... THE DOWNER...
 Formy makes a break for it!  Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING On Thursday, Peter and Death come to Bus Co. What will they find? Alien's soup kitchen, or something more sinister? And yes, Alien's idea of a soup kitchen is DEFINITELY sinister.

Because Lottie beat me to it...
What do you mean the trend will not catch on?!?! I thought that it was a lovely idea, blowing things up. But isn't TNT passé?

Peter and Death take a detour...
 Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING Wooh! The graph of doom returns! On Monday things get really weird! At last... THE FUNERAL... BEGINS!

Just to keep up my post count on this thread :p
I love the notes juice! I'm rather ashamed that I didn't notice it for a long while, though. . .

THE DOWNER! FULL TO THE BRIM WITH AMAZING FACTS!!
 THE FUNERAL IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!!  Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING On Thursday we'll find out just what Alien has left of Bus co. as Peter and Death get in there to plot some doom of sorts. Also, Death falls off the wagon. In other news... I'm still looking for anyone interested in writing a story or two for the 200th edition of the Downer. Let me know and I'll PM you some ideas.  Fun times are ahead!

Get out of bed and burn the bacon, it's news time!
 THE FUNERAL IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!!  Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING I'll make sure there is a Phalian on Thursday. After all, it will be episode 100!!! You can probably guess what the episode will consist of, given it's title "THE BEGINNING". None the less, I hope there are a few surprises in there as well. This is not the end of volume 3! There are about 30 more episodes to go. Keep yourselves topped up on gin and toast!

That was a nasty windmill! I hope that it gets arrested!! But the Downer forgot to mention that the same windmill also hit me in the face!
I am very, very cross!

There's a robotic Tolkien? Is it self-aware, and has it expressed any desire to hunt down Peter Jackson?

Sensation! Hookbill's best-kept secrets uncovered at last! (well, some of 'em...)
The entire corpus of Fungo(l)tch unt Shcmurt (1) put through the Bad Translator. With annotations.
National A service joke tromlost hulkunun fungottsh comedian cord.(2) Shcmurt: Also? Fungoltch: No data loss. (3) Shcmurt: Mourshput! List of military base Palace!(4) Fungoltch: Fundolttsh. Shcmurt: Molttsh! Fungoltch: Uncircumcised by.(5) Auctorial comment: Mourslimopt! Justimgittsh! Hsm forget! Shcmurt: Gulmufts much more! Fungoltch: Forest five - crack!(6) Shcmurt: Olgrulp! Fungoltch: Neck-surgery. Shcmurt: Molttsh! Fungoltch: Uncircumcised by.(7) Auctorial comment: Czech Ha!(8) Optomigrast fungottsh fish; Ninth! National University of Singapore shkmurt lol just type!(9) Shcmurt: Gmfust mijuop, Crocodiles?10) Fungoltch: Mourshkt. - - Shcmurt: What about you? Fungoltch: 4. Phantom: Molduttsh! Alien: Gimifril. Auctorial comment: Seen.(11) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) except for the dialogue from the P&A special on April 1st, which came through unchanged. (2) jokes harping on a comedian cord - we understood that much, I think; but what's up with the National A service? (3) nothing lost in translation here, obviously. (4) classified security-relevant information, therefore rightly encrypted. (5) hmmm... this is still somewhat cryptic at this point, but there's more clues to come. (6) for the philologists: 'forest' came from 'gümpt' via 'Forrest Gump'. (7) uncircumcised by neck surgery - is this what he's trying to tell us? (8) clearly an inside joke about Legate. (9) so it seems Fungoltch learnt chat speak in his typing course at the National University of Singapore, right? I'd never have guessed that... (10) Rudyard the Crocodile? Another eye-opener... (11) original: "It's not racist." One of the intermediate versions was "This is not a career". P.S. Yes, I do have a life, thank you. Just not at the moment.

Lovely! And I can now boast about being mentioned in relation to Fungoltch and Shcmurt - honestly, that's one of the great things I would really value in my life!

(Speaking of 'proper fungoltchish': unfortunately, I haven't yet found out how to properly enter/copy all those diacritics/special phonetic? signs into the Translator, which is probably why half of the dialogue went through untranslated... but maybe further speculations on this matter are better postponed till the weekend...)

IT'S TIME.
You've been waiting for it. You've been hunting it down. You've been sleeping in grandma's basement. And now it's all paying off. Get ready... FOR EPISODE 100!!  Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... Phew! But remember, it's not over yet! What has happened to Lommy? Where are Peter and Death going? What on earth has the King Bus got to do with all of this? And how, just HOW did Alien get those party hats? All these questions and less, may be answered as volume three continues!!
