Thumbs up Not that it makes a lot of difference...

Here is the News. Coming to you every hour upon the hour. Here is the News. The Weather's fine but there may be a meteor shower. And so on...



The EPIC adventures of The Phantom and Alien continue...

Comic Archive

Also, I'm thinking of putting P&A up three times a week. I'm really excited about volume 3 and sort of want to get there soon. Are you happy with it as it is or do you want MORE?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Sirs,

I must make my disdain and contempt as clear as possible, in words that are succinct and sentences devoid of superfluity. No beating around the bush, no long-winded rhetoric, no clarion calls of urbane loquacity. I will endeavor, without ambiguity, to speak my mind and lay bare the fundamental flaws I find apparent, and convey to the reading public at-large the depths of disgust I now feel. When I am finished, it will be crystal clear to any sentient soul the truth of the matter, and, impassioned by my cutting invective, they shall rise up and cry aloud in unison "No more!"

I hope you can discern the lengths to which I have attempted to show restraint in this matter. I am not merely interested in reiterating the usual editorial prattle; rather, I am only concerned with bringing to light a perceived problem, and attempt to change preconceived notions for the betterment of all concerned. It is my sincere wish that what I have humbly offered is a point at which fruitful discussion can progess, and we can at last all reach the sort of rapprochement that any enlightened society yearns for.

Kindly but firm regards,

It's also the second-best closing P&A panel ever. XD

The pictures in this addition really cracked me up, Hookbill! I just love the way you did that Sauron Eye Pie, and Groin Breadbeard. I'm glad that he's shown up again.

As to your suggestion about Phantom & Alien three times a week, I say go for it, the public is getting barely enough as it is!

EDITORIAL REPLY

Dear Sirs,

Regarding my editorial reply of 11-30-08, it would seem I made a slight error in my letter to you, in that I mistakenly forgot to include the actual issue I was complaining about, as well as the solution to the problem. Such an egregious error of omission is obviously quite embarrassing, particularly since the grave issue I was considering, and the solution I wished to implement, was and is extremely crucial to our society; in fact, it is the crux of all the world's problems, and possibly life itself as we know it.

Rest assured, such an error will not occur again.

Sincerely,
Palaver Balder-Malarkey

The Phantom and Alien are moving to a warmer and more comfortable Monday, Wednesday and Friday slot. Hope you're all happy...



See you on Friday...

Nice. Very nice. Alien really looks so cute.

Say, how did Alien manage to get a gun (at least, it seems like it)? And why is the smoke greenish?

Now that's for some artist of the eastern province... but probably that was what I subconsciously thought, that you had in plan to start something like that

You don't want to know.

The 'smoke' is supposed to be a little 'bang' from the shotgun. I FAIL at drawing.

It's supposed to be a GIANT story-ark. If you go on to THE WEBSITE and click on Volume 2, then you'll see where it began and hopefully be able to follow it more easily.

Well, this was the first week of three phalians. Are you all happy with this arrangement? I can put it back if you feel it's too much...



MISSED AN EPISODE? CATCH IT AGAIN ON... Um... P&A PLAYER?

Just to let you know, Volume Three is looking four hundred times as EPIC as this one.

The question is: do you feel its too much? After all it's you doing all the work to entertain us.

I love this episode, so typically Alien. But how did he get out of the underground hideout? Is that a typical Alien gag, making the trouble for others and miraculously escaping so that others have to clean up the mess?

Well, it's no extra work for me, really. All 100 episodes are already made. Which is why I'm already starting on Volume 3. I'm just worried some who only check the page once a week will get left behind or something.

It's difficult to know what, if anything, is going through Alien's mind.

Tune in on Wednesday for the next episode! Keep up by looking through the comic archive. Actually, as the series progresses, the archive will be very useful in noticing all the odd back references and plot points.

Yes...very deadly. And easily mixed up. Very easily.

Lindale has just left Hobbiton.
A 'scary' man is spotted and the public is 'disgusted'. How nice.

Aren't you glad you're in the Downer, Laurinque? And following in Alien's 'slime trail' too!

How would you feel if you knew the government was letting scary people wander around the streets?

What culinary error will we see next? Mount Doom full of exploding cheese?

As for that mutant piano that is stalking TP, I think rather than attacking the victim with claims of mental illness--a common device of journalism of whatever colour--davem or lal of the Yard needs to interview Estelyn Telcontar. I've heard that she can make those keys fly.

I had forgotten to take a look at all the other episodes in volume 2 (silly me) so I didn't really get it, thought it was a bit strange.

So now I looked at all of them in order and am looking forward to the next episode.

Btw, the way Phantom receives mission reminds me of the GTA series.

I'm a bit worried by the exhortation to eat piles of baked beans. If we all do that then the results don't bear thinking about
