HUGE CLOSING THE STORE SALE! ENDS JANUARY 2009!
Hi all…
I’ve put up a HUGE SALE on the store! HUGE.
REALLY BIG!
Here’s the deal…
We are now with IDW as our publisher. This means ALL of my inventory is going away.
I’ll have some for conventions…but my store is going away.
So…for the next month and a half…I have one last chance to BLOW OUT everything to you.
I’m almost giving this stuff away. Please go check it out.
As always…I will sign and do sketches in the books.
The Paddington Plushes…we have.
Felicity and Alexander are on their way here.
So if you order something with where can i buy furosemide online them in it…there WILL be a delay.
We’re hopeful we can get all shipments with Felicity and/or Alexander to everyone by Christmas. But please keep that in mind when ordering. And always feel free to email me questions.
Anyways. Please PLEASE check out the store.

Make sure you check out the savings. It’s a lot.
I want you all to have these before they all go to the distributor.
NOTE: Donna is looking into CHEAPER International shipping. We should know by mid-day if we can get it any cheaper. Thank you ALL!
PS.
Don’t forget to tell me who you want sketched in your books! There’s an option during checkout. Also…who you want the book signed to (if you do). Real important.
Hey, Scott, what’s expected turnaround time on that stuff? I ordered a pair of book 1 & 2 sets back on Nov 14, and am hoping to have one by Dec 14 to take them to my niece.
All books that were ordered up until now are going out on MOnday.
We lost a week with THanskgiving and being out of town.
A lot were already sent, though. Maybe yours was in that bunch.
Also…any orders with Felicity and/or Alexander are of course still waiting for us to get those in.
Thanks
Hi,
Any luck on finding cheaper international shipping to Canada?
Also, I work at a Chapters bookstore and two copies of Dreamland v.1 showed up for our shelves. Of course, I purchased my copy a year ago :). Looking forward to v.3.
I have to say, I’m really not liking the past several pages.
Basically, Paddington makes a joke about an attribute of the centaur race, within earshot of a bunch of children of that race. He and Alex then laugh about it right in front of them as well.
To put this in context, let’s modify the text somewhat. Go back and put in the words “gay people” or “black people” or “transgendered people” or “disabled people” and repeat the dialogue, with modifications referring to specific attributes of those groups. Still funny?
You’ve done a great job creating real people and a real world, but in a real, living world like that, where centaurs and other fantastic creatures actually exist, dumb jokes become ethnic slurs.
I was really hoping Kiwi was about to lay into Paddington, along the lines of, “You idiot, you’re supposed to be teaching these kids, not causing them to feel ashamed of themselves because of the very things that make them who they are!!!” But no.
LOL, just got my order in, thanks so much. Of course, I showed them too my wife (wanting to see what I was giving her baby on his 4th birthday) and she is now thinking of our four nephews. ROFL.
Umm, Prof, I just read your comment and you are going a bit too much to the PC side there. Firstly, most such slurs that might draw fire are based on supposed attributes, not actual ones. Secondly, since I do happen to fit in at least one of those groups you listed, although it depends on who is making the joke and how, unfortunately a number of “dumb jokes” are nothing more than the literal truth. Thirdly, it might be an old joke even among the centaurs, since a two footed creature trying to teach a four footed one to dance might cause just a little problem with the dance steps. Heck, a centaur might have originated it.
Got my Book 1 & 2 sets, Scott. Many thanks! Wife came home after a hard day, and began reading them. She likes them very much. I expect my niece will be just as thrilled.

They showed up on the shelves??? That’s wonderful! I’ve yet to find one of the books on the shelves here.
Thanks for telling me.
And the shipping is the absolute cheapest. My wife researched.
Prof….
yeah I have to say…
You may be a BIT too sensitive.
The Centaurs know they have a difficult time dancing. They laugh about it too…but don’t give up. It’s a challenge.
Teaching 4 footed animals dance steps that were made for 2 footed animals takes a bit of time. Paddington is quite patient.
But don’t let over sensitivity ruin the innocence and humor we have. Nothing hurtful was intended…and none recieved by those comments.
Paddington and Centaurs are not equal in design. They are built differently. And therefore know they face the hurdles of extra limbs and such.
It’s all good.
Kamatu and J…
Thank you both. So glad you guys got them. And thank you for your orders and support.
Hope the sketches came out ok. I’ve been sketching every day.
🙂
Nooo! That centaur-healer looks EXACTLY like my insane landlady. Everything, her hair, how she does her hair, how she dresses (the shirt, at least), and I cannot look at this without the horrible memories. The resemblance is that uncanny. Even though she treats me terribly and makes my life miserable, I am (and always have been) totally nice to her. Everybody says their landlord is insane, but mine actually escaped from a mental health clinic, no joke!
Hi,
I lie not. Stock arrived. Stock contained Dreamland v.1. Stock shelved in graphic novels. 🙂
How much longer will the sale be going on? I was about to buy one of the sets when I discovered I’d forgotten to verify my PayPal account, which takes 3-5 business days.
I think maybe some time next week.
But if you order something (even if you’re not verified yet) I’ll of course honor it.
…..and tooo slow.
Love this sequence! great work.
I think that we know why Nicole put the whole insident out of her memories. It was too tramatic for a child to cope with. I see a reunion of sorts in the future for the two girls, and it would be nice if Alex’s brother was in on it too as well.
I think it would be cool doing a few reverse dremland comics, where few of the people from dreamland go to sleep and end up in the real world… hehe.. that would be funny to see.

Is the store page linked from this post meant to still be there? It says ends January but all the items are still there and the paypal links still work. I’m very tempted by the $75 set but I want make sure the order will/is still meant to work first.
Hi Smithers
I work with Scott in running his online store, you can use the link at the top of this page to access it.
We’re adding a few packages similar to the $75 set but of course now it will include Book 3!
Stay tuned, we will post an update on new prices and product offerings next week.
Hope you enjoy the books and figurines when you order them.
Free knowledge like this doesn’t just help, it promote deormcacy. Thank you.
