Got to go to work in the morning so I can't do the whole midnight posting thing I usually do, so here's yer news. Folks.
John Fillis isn't having too great a time at the moment. Shouldn't we send him a get well soon card? It seems that a 'Get Showered Soon' card might be more appropriate. 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... It's fun, educational and leprosy inducing. Isn't that what every child wants for Christmas this year? Incidentally, those of you following John Fillis' story will probably recall THIS episode. Sorry John, but I'm afraid that 'the worst that could happen' is still to come.

I confess to not having followed the comics closely up to now, but that really is a nice 'miasma' effect in the first panel.

Haha! As good as ever, Hooky! I especially like the "One hundred million" on page 10 million.

Oh the things I do get up to when I forget to pay my sanity bill! If it were not for your reporting Hookbill I would never know what I did half the time.

But evidently, he's not an actual alien.

Now comes the moment to reveal Alien's father!!
Take a deep breath. Look out for flying poop. Come on! Alien's father is cool! Admit 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... Pretty soon we'll be heading into a flashback WITHIN a flasback. I've always wanted to do that.

Hrmmm. I think I'll pass on asking the obvious questions about how you end up with Alien out of those chromosomes... ~ Ka

He's got his father's eyes don't you think? Maybe Alien's substance is just the lipo from Ms Collins?

I'm surprised no one has commented on the leaking graph in the background.
Some of you may know the story of my original plan for P&A. My first idea was for it to be "The Phantom and Gorilla" but I soon discovered that I couldn't draw a gorilla. So, instead, I made a crude slime creature and called him 'Alien'. But I wanted to make a little homage to the duo that never was. Maybe one day we will see 'The Phantom and Gorilla'. Who knows. Yeah, basically, that's why Alien's father is a gorilla. But they have the same bow-tie! That counts, right?

Don't forget the spontaneous combustion of the bus picture! I really DO adore all those background details. They make re-reading P&A so much fun! No more steaks lying around though, it's just so sad.

Once again I'm forced to do a bit of early posting. Sorry about that.
Now, lets get back to Alien, Formy and the Soap Pope. I wonder what kind of craziness 'Old Woman of the Sea' can think up next... 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... On Thursday, John Fillis' mutation reaches dangerous new levels of strangeness. And by 'dangerous' I, of course, mean FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Oh, and the adorably baby Alien will be showing up pretty soon in a flashback starting next week. So look forward to that, all of you.

Sorry, Boro. Friending me on Facebook when you have an amusing picture uploaded there almost guarantees your appearance in the media.

I've added a downloads page to the P&A website. I'll improve it over the next few days with more backgrounds and icons and stuff. But for now, here's a preview of the sort of stuff to expect...
(A bigger version is on the website) I'll do most of the work tomorrow, so come back then to see the stuff. Hope some of you like it. Josh (my brother who does the art work now) really enjoyed doing that picture. Hope you do to.

Despite the lack of Oxon Downer this year, I'm thinking of getting a special P&A poster type thing made. I'm heading into town tomorrow to possibly get some printed by this place that does nice printings and stuff... yes.
If you're at Oxonmoot, I'll happily give you one. Any I have left over I'll... I don't know... keep as prizes for a P&A related competition of some sort. How about that?

It's Phalian time again!
John Fillis' mutation is getting out of hand once again. I think he's lost his apatite... maybe... 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... Come back on Monday for the further discussion between Peter and Miss Collins. There may be a flashback!! Will we find out why Alien was sent to Formy's Soapy Church? Probably not.

Fillis reminded me of the weird girl-eating horse in Brothers Grimm, which I watched as a kid, and gave me nightmares

The bit with Alien thrown in at the end was nice. Does he know what is going on with John Fillis? Is there a psychic connexion? Is Alien related to an Ood?

After having to spend all last afternoon in the uni reptile museum, Mr. Fillis' jaw reminds me of a snake... A lot.

An early Downer because I'm more tired than a sloth after staying up all night. Thank you, Oxonmoot.
And now we head towards some explanations. The upcoming flashback should make this story much less confusing. 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've also updated the character pages for The Phantom and Alien to include some of their Volume Three back story. Hope it helps you see it all in a new, if strange, light. I'll try and update the other characters as I go along.

Oh Soap! I forgot to thank Formy for his article this week! Sorry about that. Moot times appear to have melted my brain a little.
Everyone give Formy some rep for being funny this week.

And have it look like I'm needy for more rep? That would be quite tasteless of me, don't you think? And not the sort of thing the Mods smile on.
Exactly the sort of thing that might turn up in a rag like The Downer, in fact. So, really, one shouldn't be so absurd!

Random Titles feel their brains turn to mush.
Loved, loved, loved P & A this week. "When your father owned this company...I hated him!" I didn't expect it at all. And the lines just before the flashback, hilarious.

I think my favorite bit is the outrageous inflation of the reward after discovering the true rumor.

Although I am happy to see Edward the Confessor appearing in the newspaper, I did expect him to take up more space.
