Well…it’s official. I’m old.
π
Today is my…gulp….FORTIETH BIRTHDAY!
Β
Yikes.
Β
Ok…and back to the show.
Today on Comic Book Resources…we have an interview.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=19022
Β
News on the Felicity and Alexander toys.
They’re in Los Angeles port tomorrow. We’ll hopefully have them here in Tennessee in a week…maybe two. So there’s STILL a possibility we can get them out to you all for Christmas. Fingers crossed.
Β
Please excuse me today as I work a bit in the morning…then spend the rest of the day with family and just enjoying the day.
Thanks for being here with me for my birthday and I hope you’re enjoying the pages.
Scott
A very happy birthday to you, Scott. I passed that same milestone earlier this year. I took it in stride, and had a great time.
You aren’t that old~my mom’s 40! (hahaha) I’m 18. (I’m probably not helping…) Um… Happy Birthday!
Limax, I can’t believe you beat me! I was so sure I’d be first! π
I’ve less than half a decade to the big four-oh myself. Happy Birthday. Thanks so much for keeping us entertained with your Dreamland vision.
Happy Birthday Scott! Hope you have a good one!
Happy Birthday!! and isn’t 40 the new 30 or something like that?
Happy Birthday sir. Just wanted to tell you age is just a number. Haha. Love reading your comics. π
Happy Birthday! Glad to see your wishes come true as you help populate a world of dreams for all us fans.
*gasp* Oh, no! Not the “F” word! π (My mum has a mug that says that from when she turned 40.)
Happy birthday.
Relax. No, you’re not young anymore. I found that in most respects, that’s actually a good thing. Just enjoy the ride.
Youth is wasted on the young anyway.
Haven’t you heard? 40 is the new 35.
Stretch before you dance? guess so, like stretching before a work out. reminds of Taebo,
Happy Birthday! 40 is a great age to be!
A happy birthday from me too. Enjoy the day with your family. You well deserve that.
I’m only 39 years old and 1 birth remembrance day. I don’t do birthdays anymore. π
Gratz, old man.
Well, Hurpy Bathday! –I mean, Happy Birthday!
Haha! Your 40 and making a childish webcomic!
Im 40 and reading it! Haha!
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day with your family. Enjoy yourself.
Happy Birthday, dude!
Happy Natal Day! Just be glad I don’t know you well enough to post the Birthday Dirge.
Happy Birthday! π
And Paddington goes *gasp* tomorrow.
Why? Because our beloved author loves giving us some sort of cliffhanger over the weekend. (In this case, it is how many pages until the rest of the group finds out that Alex is here.)
Happy Birthday!!! And you’re only as old as you feel. Obviously, judging by how much fun you seem to have with Dream Chronicles, you’re still a kid at heart. π
Happy Birthday!
In January, I’ll be old enough to hold the office of the President of the United States of America. Missed the election by a year, damnit…
With old age comes great wisdom. =) Have a wonderful birthday!
Happy birthday Scott! (mine is in two days… π
In Brazil, we’re used to say that “Life begins at 40”, so you’ve just been born! Happy birthday and may God bless you and your family! Congratulations!!!
Happy Birthday – and many more!
Welcome to the Club!
I hit 40 back in October, so far it ain’t all htat bad. π Happy Birthday!
happy birthday!! read dreamland for ages but never commented but thought I should to say happy birthday
Happy Birthday! I’m not too far away from 40 myself…
I just found Dreamland 2 weeks ago, but I’m already hooked. Keep up the great work and I’ll keep reading!
Happy birthday!! and another great interview.
Forty! Pshaw. I’ll be 50 come March, young’n. π Happy Birthday! I hope they gave you a black balloon party. My wife refused. The nice thing about hitting 40 is …
you managed to survive that long despite all the stupid err stuff you did when you were younger π
Happy birthday, Scott! π
I was wondering how the current strip applied, but now I know. Beliving that you are forty is a ‘stretch’ – keep up the great work!
Happy Birthday! May you have many more.
happy birthday!
thought i’d let you know, i have your books on order through borders here in brisbane, australia. i seriously cannot wait.
finally im all cought up in dreamland . love the story my friend chris reads it everynight he’s over i just sit here and laugh as he dose the voices .. anyways its a great story kepp up the great work
Is it just me, or does the girl centaur have her navel a little high up?
it is kinda high up i see it too but the one next to her the other girl her’s is pretty high too
I guess girl centaurs have high belly buttons. Hm. I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out. Ha.
Wow!
Thank you all for the Birthday wishes.
We are up and the kids are getting ready for school.
I’ll be working on Dreamland a bit…and then Donna’s taking me out to lunch.
What a treat it is to wake up to Birthday wishes from around the world. Wow.
Thank you all.
Yay! I add my birthday wishes to the pile, and no 40 is not old considering I also have one more year of being “30 something” lol. And thank you Scott, for sharing both Dreamland and yourself with all of us. May all your birthday wishes come true! ^_^
On to the comic, I love it.. Paddington stretching. He’s sooo cute!
Happy birthday! I guess it’s a landmark birth day today because two of my friends just turned 18 =]
Happy Birthday Scott! Thanks for all you share with us. Hoping you have a wonderful day.
Get over yourself…. I have kids almost your age, you’re still a baby. I’m almost 61 and I still enjoy they type of graphic novel you are publishing here.
Bright Blessings on your birthday
Happy Birthday Scott!
Happy Birthday Scott!
I don’t have a present for you but I just wanted to sat what a great present it is to be able to read your amazing comic everyday.
Don’t say you’re old… I just calibrated my 39th last Wednesday!!! happy birthday!!!!
Think of it as Level 40. That way you’re always getting better with age. ;D Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday! And don’t worry, my mom is 60! ‘course, I’m only 15…
Yeah, the belly button is a little high… However I find the mysteries of what heart/stomach etc. they use (the horses or the humans?) a touch more perplexing. And just how do they give birth? It’s a fantasy world, it doesn’t have to make sense.
A happy birthday to you! Go and enjoy the day. I do hope it’s a good one. c:
And there’s nothing wrong or scary about turning 40. I think it is a blessing; you have been given the opportunity to live that long. May you be blessed with many more years!
Happy Birthday ‘n all that good stuff! Γ§βΕΈΓ¦βΒ₯Γ₯¿«æ¨βΓ―ΒΌΒ
Wow! Your birthday is one day before mine! π
Happy Birthday!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by the way:
lover paddington’s dans!
Happy Birthday, Love The Comic. and Just Know, My Dad is 40 something x-x i forget, but he acts like the biggest kid i know…well teen but thats besides the point. just know that your still young. i promise not to call you old until your 200-something ^_^. again happy birthday -Keifer
Scott, I’ll be 39 next week, and I have learned that age is a case of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
I was once told my a nice old woman (97 I believe) never to get old. I said that it was beter than the alternative.
Happy Birthday Scott!!!
Happy Birthday Scott!
:cake: (oh wait… that is dA)
Happy Birthday Scott!
:cake: (oh wait… that is dA)
LOL!
You guys are awesome!
Thank you thank you!
40? Heck, you’re still just a kid compared to me. Have a great B-Day, Scott!
Gordon
Happy birthday! And you’re not old… you’re as young as you feel, right? And you must be feeling at least somewhat like a kid to write this comic! (either that, or entering your second childhood….)
At any rate, congrats! Enjoy your day!
Happy birthday, I would of never thought you where 40, I thought you are 25 or something, well maybe it’s because there are fairies in this comic and talking boulders… Hahaha.
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Scott! Happy Birthday to you!
I hope you really do have a happy Birthday! π
Happy Birthday!! 40 is not old, enjoy the day =)
Hi Scott,
Age is in the mind. I’m 46, but I don’t feel older than thirty-five – most of the time. π
BTW, I’m really enjoying this Paddington dance sequence. We haven’t seen one for a while.
Happy Birthday from all the way down here in south east Texas π
Heheheheheh! Forty old, Scott? Aw, you’re still a Spring Chicken, youngster! When you hit fifty, you can join the club! Yeah, I’m a decade ahead of you, young feller!
%OD !
Seriously though, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT! Still loving your work!
Oh, I forgot to mention the most important thing! Happy Birthday! π
“40 years have passed on, as fast as a day…”
My translation of a popular sitcom theme from my country π
Good luck seeing DC on the silver screen!
Haaaaaappppppp ppppy ppppy ppppy Birthday man.
I know how you feel. My 40th is this Xmas and all my friends either hit it this year or have it coming up the next couple months. Just think, we’re not getting older, just collecting more XP.
Happy Birthday
*waves* Happy birthday, Scott! ^^ When I noted that it was your birthday…well, I figured I could sort of give you a present with this being my first comment on Dreamland Chronicles. I’ve been reading your comic for about a year (and in my defense, I didn’t realize until recently that we could leave comments ^^; ) I really love this comic; it’s original and funny, intriguing, well-written, with loveable characters and a great plotline. Plus I’m pretty sure this is the only completely-computer-made comic I’ve ever seen, which became incredibly impressive when I read the pages you posted about the process you had to go through to create this. You are wonderfully talented! And I love how you always post a little update about yourself with the daily comic, showing how much you love your family and letting we the readers get to know you on a more personal level. I always enjoy being able to get to know the artist behind the work; knowing more about the creator of a picture, comic, or whatever, always makes it more enjoyable for me, because it gives a face to the comic instead of it feeling like an automatic updating machine.
So thanks a lot for all the work you’ve put into this, and I hope you have a great birthday!
~Jenn/Riverfox from Ohio
P.S. You don’t look at all 40 in the recent pictures you posted, so don’t worry about it. ^^
Happe Birth day old chap π Keep up the good work and all
Happy Birthday! If you start feeling too old you can always do what my dad did – start counting *down* with each successive birthday. Right now he claims to be 32. π
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day! ;D
Happy Birthday. ^_^
The purple-haired young centauress (front right) has a bad splice of her human upper torso and lower equine body. How come the other CG centaur characters look properly spliced and she looks uncompleted? (Yeah, I’m nitpicking. I’m right in the middle of writing my fantasy novel which includes demi-humans.)
Congratulations !
May you live many more years – making comics for us to enjoy !
Happy Birthday Scott, Congratulations on the level up!
Happy Birthday, though I’m damn late!!! O_O
And this page rocks. There’s just something cool about seeing the influence Paddington has among the people of Dreamland. π
Happy Birthday!
Convenient timing on the centaurs. All they need are bows and arrows.
And you’re not old until you decide you’re old.
If 40’s old for you then I’m closer to old (36 in two weeks) than I care to be, so you’ll just have to bump old up to 60 or so. Maybe 80.
Way to make me feel young for turning 16 today… Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Scott!!!
This is your birthday songΓ’β¬Β¦.. it isn’t very long, yeah!
LOL
Hope you have a wonderful day with your wife and children. Old is relative, it’s not how old you are it’s how you feel.
From one fellow Sagittarius to another (I’m 30 on the 10th yipes!) May you continue to be blessed with all the success you deserve and more!
Happy birthday to you! Think of it as the 20th aniversery of your 20th birthday.
Happy Birthday!
I hope you have a really fantastic one this year! π
Happy Birthday.
I raise some mead in your honor.
Way to go!
I had my 40th on this Thanksgiving, so I can relate.
I was most thankful just to be alive and kicking,
since some of my close friends never made it to the big 4-0 ….
and today I am thankful that you made it to the big 4-0 too!
“the best is yet to come”
Bah! You aren’t old. You’re younger than me by a long shot. I on the other hand am so old….(how old are you)…I was old when the dinosaurs crawled out of the swamps. LOL Actually I’m 46.
Hehehe, you old crow. π
Happy Birthday, man! Paddington’s awesome.
Happy Birthday Scott!!! ^___^
π
I love reading all of these comments.
Truly wonderful.
Thank you all.
As usual, I’m late to the party. (which is why I usually don’t comment.) But I had to say Happy Birthday. And no you’re not old. I’ve been 39 for 23 years and still feel 30. As long as you enjoy life and live it well, and enjoy your family, you’ll always be young. It’s tomorrow already, so I have to say hope you “had” a great birthday and enjoyed the time with your family. I love this comic. Keep up the good work young man!
Lynnskay
HAPPY B-day, though this is a bit late… BUT WHO CARES? it’s the thought that counts, and LYN!!! SSHHH!!! THAT’s supposed to be a secret!
very funny duelhearts not like its that big of a secret to began with lol
yayyyy! happy birthday! there always seems to be more birthdays in December…XD
Your doing great with the comic ^_^
Trust me Scott your no that old. My father’s 77 and my mother’s 54.
*not
Happy birthday! Many happy returns! Also, have a happy Christmas too!
dude I love the Centaurs, they are so cute. I can’t wait to see what the adults look like
Happy Belated 40th birthday!!! Hope it was great!
WOW Happy belated Birthday! I’d started reading this at 1:00 am or so and I haven’t stoped and now it’s 5:04am LOL
Just can’t get enough… Glad to hear you had a great birthday, and hope the one coming up this year is also great!
Hey, pretty soon we’re just going to age like Elrond. Or Legolas.
Meantime…I wonder if the shared dialogue has to do with herd mentality.
Happy WAAAYYYY belated birthday (yeah, I know, I’m closer to your next one).
You broke a hundred comments easily (first time?) on your birthday – this has to say something about the devotion of your online fan-base. Keep up the good work!
π
Dude, your b’day is on the same day as Burger King!!! COOL!!
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Congratulations!
Lol…. Your birthday was yesterday…
Hope you had a nice day!
this episode reminds me of a Mad cartoon: a martial arts instructor is teaching a class, the students are imitating his moves, he stops to answer the phone…and all the students imitate his “talking on the phone” pose!
