The Leijona of Mariagan is neither to be caught nor tamed, I hear. I'm glad the phantom didn't compromise his reputation as a trustworthy journalist by inventing something that just wasn't there in order to make Legate look even braver.

So, Legate, where can one find the book?

The publishing house "Goomba&Son" (nobody has ever made it clear whose son, anyway) promised to hit the stores this week. In fact, they actually said "we'll hit the stores and if they still stand, we hit them again". Originally, the intention was to publish also electronic version, but only before the person responsible for it managed to electrocute himself with it. So you have to do with the hard copy. It might be hard to get, but then again, if it's worth it for you...

In any case, Phantom, as for the advertisement you have provided, in the immortal words of Cpt. Solo: Thank you. Thank you very much.

Some of the Finnish terms used are quite interesting indeed, but as it is the Downer, it's hard to say if they are mistakes or just intented "as is". In either case, it makes as perfect sense as the Downer's articles make sense in general...

I'm looking forwards to that magnum opus in days to come with great interest!


Actually. We made a great anthropological trip to the US. two years ago, so maybe we should publish an anthropological survey into the "American Soul"?

Would The Downer boost the markets with a front-page story?

Now back to your regularly scheduled Phalian.

This newspaper is not edible.
Thanks to the phantom for the second story. I'm sure he'll appreciate the animated adventures of the Phantom and Alien just as much as the comic version. Not to mention the inevitable puppet theatre!

I nominate this P&A the best P&A of the year, when it's combined with the article...

Alas, they are, and will continue to be. This joke can be recycled for ever and never get old. It's like Peter Pan.
