Now back to your regularly scheduled Phalian. Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING Hmm. I notice the 300th Downer edition is coming up soon. I need to think of some good ideas for it. If anyone has some suggestions I'm open to hearing them.

Ha ha, I was right!
Beneath the stairs I discovered Super Wight's legendary stack of bricks! Tomorrow I shall return to finish collecting them. Alien is guarding them for now. Though.... Hmmm.... The thought has suddenly occurred to me that Alien may be an untrustworthy guardian. As a matter of fact... I can almost guarantee he'll eat them. Crap.

Goomba's are taking over the planet, and are in disguise.... this is what Hookbill really looks like..... http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgur...EwBg&dur=11148
P.S They are a menace and highly dangerous.....they've even been known to steal children's sweets (candy).

MECHADEATH!!! Really, I think after Mr. Mop, this one has to be my favourite... well, and then General Crock-Face from vol. 2.
Is the animated version proceeding anywhere, Hookbill, by the way? Perhaps near for the 300th anniversary of The Downer, huh?

It's going quite slow as Joshua is learning as he goes with the animation. Also, he's got a lot of school work and is quite lazy. I'll try and have him locked in a basement where he can only work on it from now on.

Now back to your regularly scheduled Phalian. Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien, you can look back though the... VOLUME 1 | VOLUME 2 | VOLUME 3 | VOLUME 4 Let's just get one thing straight here; the floor is made of lava. Also, we're going to have to think of something fast as the 300th edition of the newspaper is only ten weeks away! Anyone got any ideas?

Sooo...we're going to have to wait a few episodes to find out what happens. Unless someone can convince Alien to take the MechaDeath dude back to the past. But this also explains why Alien never heard of the guy. The *present* alien isn't even in the story so far, probably off eating someone. And now MechaDeath's short part comes to an end, I mean, beginning. WHOHOO!

But with exams and such happening there's a delay happening. Hopefully once this one is done it will make all future ones easier as templates will then be in place for ease of use. I don't know. I'm no expert on this stuff.

As if a joke being used to death has ever stopped anyone before.
I at least will have something silly to present for the big extravaganzaventiversary.

This week's headline story was written by everyone's favourite phantom, the phantom!

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?

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!

To give you news of top quality. Once again we can lavish the phantom with praises and adoration for his work on the second story. How he got that interview with a mountain is beyond us, but he did it anyway.

That's some high quality entertainment.
I somehow missed last week's installment, so I had a double helping of Papery goodness today. Hurrah! I finished work on both puppets today. Here is a teaser of Alien. And here is The Phantom.

Thanks to the phantom for his stories over the last few weeks! They made my Sundays much easier! Rest assured, I shall be going on a long and harsh campaign of nagging my brother into animating the Phantom and Alien cartoon!! Perhaps we were a little ambitious with it, but I still hope it turns out okay. If not, we can always fall back on Oddwen's puppet theatre!
