Rune's Quality Beef will like to make an official statement saying: You'll never get me dead!

Blind Guardian · 07-12-2010, 09:13 AM

Yes! My own shop! Muhahahaha!!! It's up and coming you know. We've got only the cheapest exsplsives!! Everything from sparklers to nuclear bombs!

Are you saying Runes beef is fake? Or that you sell beef too? Hotdog come! She sells fake bacon!

Xed with Runesom!

Goodness me! And I thought that Lottie was an extremist!

I do hope that you have realised, dear, that you advertising in The Downer comes with a price.

I didn't intend to, I just couldn't think of anything else. Wait! Uh oh, next week is going to come with a bang isn't it? Isn't it...?

Don't you even dare blow up The Downer's printing press! If you do you shall pay the consequences! The loyal readers of this fantastic newspaper will have to come get you for it, and by 'loyal readers' I mean this loyal reader.

. . . However, it would make quite the story. I may have to write one.

Blind Guardian · 07-13-2010, 12:40 AM

That's what I was thinking. Not me blowing it up but you writing a story about me blowing me up!!

But...I'm a loyal fan. If I wasn't why'd I get All The Newspapers Ever Written Collectors Edition..?

Oh, so you think that I should write a story about you? Well, all right.

You bought The Barrow Edition, didn't you? I am the proud owner of a signed copy of the Downer (or rather Teh Donwer), thank you very much. *Has superiority complex* . . . Oh wait.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-16-2010, 01:43 AM

EEEP! A day late!

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...

Sorry about the delay, folks. My brain is fluttering away at the moments. On Monday there will be more strangeness and bad jokes. Just what you've come to expect from P&A, really!

That's all right, Hookbill. At least you know that in some time zones it is still Thursday.

Great episode, by the way.

Blind Guardian · 07-16-2010, 09:43 AM

I wonder what that guy is going to do with the sythe...?

Who? Barry Wight? He is going to take over the world with it, obviously.

Loslote · 07-16-2010, 07:26 PM

Ohhhh...I get it now...

I gots a guess as to what's gonna happen!

Whatever you THINK is going to happen, it probably won't.

Or it will, but I hope it doesn't. I have planted some red herrings here and there, so, who knows?

Not sure when the next Downer will go up. I'll be away on Sunday and Monday. But if I get Internet access at the hotel, I'll do my best to put it up in the morning, or else you'll have to wait for Monday afternoon or possibly Tuesday morning if I forget. Make sure to post on the thread by Monday evening if you want to remind me to do this, actually.

Oh no! Whatever will we do if The Downer doesn't come out until a day later?

Whenever works best for you, hard-working Editor, is good for me; and everyone else, I'm sure.

Personaly I will creat a copy of Sean Penn's very first car, only I will make it out of butter and grass.

Blind Guardian · 07-18-2010, 01:35 PM

On 'What p&a charactor can you potentuly be?' I got Morsul The Dark!! Yeah my favorite! And TheGreatElvenWarior thought it was rigged!!! Haha! Teehee. Okay I'm done bragging. Not. Haha Hookbill!!! *skips off laughing!* Teehee!

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-19-2010, 12:33 AM

Okay, it's news time!

Because I'm an idiot, I forgot to bring this weeks P&A with me, so that'll have to be posted when I get home. Ho hum.

OH! It's also the Phantom and Alien's fourth birthday this week! There will be special celebrations at some point. An animation, perhaps. So, look out for that!

Laurinquë · 07-19-2010, 01:33 AM

That is a wonderful article of wonderfulness Lady Great!

You should have carried on with the dreadfulness of the weather for another three paragraphs.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-19-2010, 03:46 AM

Oh Soap! Not the excess buying of shoes!

And hats now? Oh dear...

By the way, the second story was grand! I do wonder who wrote such a piece.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-19-2010, 04:27 PM

Better late than never, maybe?

Sorry Rune and Mr Gross. they got squished. Is Formy okay? Well, you'll find out soon enough.

Well, Chaps, we're approaching the END of volume 3! That's right! Only 12 episodes left. Next week sees the start of the epic four-part final show down between Philip and Peter which leads in to the dramatic finale! Hope you all enjoy it!

Loslote · 07-22-2010, 01:41 PM

First off, because Rune got squished...

Secondly, I love Formy's resigned expression in the third panel.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-22-2010, 01:47 PM

Only 12 episodes left? Oh my giddy aunt (no wait)!

I love how Formy, instead of actually getting out of his church, is snorkelling... sort of.

Yes, but that's six weeks remember?

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-23-2010, 02:40 AM

Of course, this will mean that, in a few weeks, I'll be asking for the now traditional between seasons Obligatory Guest Artist and Writers Duration (OGAWD?). So, if any budding P&A fan drawers want to submit a comic, watch this thread for my requests.

Boromir88 · 07-23-2010, 05:25 AM

If I remember correctly, that grape leaf helmet symbolized I was an awkward alcoholic.

Something involving pork chops and binge drinking.

Hookbill, I do hope that you are aware of the hilarity you caused! I now cannot stop quoting Phantom and Alien. I've done so now 10 times in the last hour, and it's not getting any better. I am truly a fangirl.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-25-2010, 05:04 PM

I'm really excited to see if that sofa cannon comes into play.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-25-2010, 10:51 PM

Aaaaaugh! Not coffee!

P.S. I don't remember writing the second story this week.

the phantom · 07-25-2010, 11:11 PM

And if the sofa cannon doesn't do the trick, he may just use the legendary and deadly comfy-chair cannon!

*cues people to begin repeating "the comfy-chair"*

Goodness! We're reaching the dramatic conclusion of this epic battle! Who will win out? Only the phantom knows. Because he was there. Wasn't he?

Blind Guardian · 07-29-2010, 09:54 AM

love his exspresion in the last panel!

wilwarin538 · 07-29-2010, 09:58 AM

So, that was epic.

And I'm happy to see the sofa cannon was as awesome as I expected.
