User blog:Mikel6718/Crazy Old Phil

Hey, guys. I've reread ThatRetro's blog post on the appalling "Earth Geeks Must Go!" (that's just my opinion here), and I still can't recall a time in the book where Crazy Old Phil (the guy with some sort of flying contraption that sent them to that Creeps' planet at the end. So, I grabbed my copy and scanned through the novel (although it doesn't really deserve to be a published book), yet I still couldn't find Crazy Old Phil anywhere but at the very beginning when Jacob mentioned that his life depended on a guy named Crazy Old Phil, and at the very end. So, are we as readers meant to know this character (idk, from a previous Series 2000 book, or somewhere in the story when the guy wasn't named, stuff like that), or do we just force amnesia on ourselves and go like "oh, that guy, our protagonist", or what?????????? I'm not 100% sure he doesn't appear throughout the novel (I'd prefer calling it an utter waste of paper and ink),  I could've missed his first appearance.
