The Phantom, 3/4/06

Here’s what you learned, kids: the Phantom is an evil bastard who will mess with your minds. It’ll take about five minutes to have that discussion; the rest of the hike will pass in awkward, resentful silence.

And what else have we learned?

Apartment 3-G, 3/4/06

We learned that MARGO MAGEE IS AN UNCONTROLLABLE HUMAN TIME BOMB OF EVIL! SHE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HER ACTIONS! DON’T TAKE HER ANYWHERE! DON’T LET HER LEAVE THE HOUSE! SHE LEAVES ONLY SHATTERED LIVES IN HER WAKE!

And one more thing we learned:

We learned that felt good! But we think you already knew that, Rex.

Is this the comics’ first prime number joke outside of Fox Trot?

Are these teasers — the latter acknowledging that no reader can be expected to have a clue as to what’s going on in the Sunday Phantom, the former being just flat-out cold — even better than Spider-Man’ Olivia-Newton John reference last year?

Has Margo, desperate for company now that her boss hates her and her roommates are snubbing her, gone and joined the Happy Hands Club?

Is it true that this bird you cannot chai-yi-ay-yi-ay-yi-aynge?

Psychedelic shock-happy bunny: Awesome, horrifying, or horrifyingly awesome?

With apologies to Dusty Springfield:

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile can’t disguise

The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say

And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you

How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You’ve got the look of love
It’s on your face
A look that time can’t erase
Be mine tonight

Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss

Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
Don’t ever go
I love you so

Have a romantic weekend, everyone. I hope it’s going to happen for you.
