Page 809…
Well it looks like we’ve got the Blue Dream Studios site sorted out.
It’s not done…but everything I need to do…I can do from here on out.
Thank you so much to all of you who’ve helped out. I’m overwhelmed by your generosity.
Thank you guys.
I have a lot of work ahead of me today. I hope to get it all done so I can get back to Dreamland.
Wish me luck.
Also…
Just another reminder. Sunday night is the last day of the sale. And the last day I’ll have the store. After that all purchases will be through the IDW store and I won’t be able to do sketches.
Thanks and hope you enjoyed today’s page.
🙂
Scott
Oooh, she’s got that, “I will kiss you then kill you” look.
ah the “go to heck” look
My Christmas list! Mine! 😛
Nicole’s gonna kill him. This is getting good!
she has the “i will melt your soul if you tease me again” look.
her eyes look as if she going to burn trees…
Hey. I’m happy that your page is put back together. I thought of helping you, but there were so many people that already volunteered that I thought my help was rather superfluous (after all, I’m not too talented in making home pages after all…).
I’ll check the page out again as soon as the final version is up. Looking forward to it!
Dan is so a dead man. where do we send the flowers? lol
As always love your work.

Should we consider Alex as his next of kin? Better send notice to his mom instead.
Ha ha. Yeah…it was fun doing today’s page.
This whole sequence was fun.
I vote on sending the ‘next-of-kin’ to his mom…Alex is off in dreamland…LOL wait, he really IS off in Dreamland!
Lol! Nicole’s pout is perfect.
haha! I love the look on Nicole’s face!
She DESPISES him! XD
sigh… such a cute couple…
They’re seriously cute together!! ^__^
I know I’ll get told not to read the comic if I dont like the way it’s made and have rocks thrown at me and yaddayadda .. but seriously this is dragging on way too much for way too little.. going through the box was already taking lots of time, but going for 3 days on the poney thing really is a pain.. I was glad Alex woke up cause things usually go faster in the waking world, but it seems this time around it’s getting ridiculous..
Anyway, still is a nice comic, for those who think I don’t like it, I do. I just feel it’s dragging on too much.. bit like the Lord of the Rings books, takes way too much time to get anywhere haha 😉
Thanks all….
Marc…
First off…thanks for reading. I really appreciate it.
You see it as 3 days. I see it as 3 pages of a 300 page book.
It’s not so bad when you look at it that way.
🙂
When you read these pages in book form…they flow MUCH better. I promise.
And that’s what it’s intended for.
The fact that I’m putting a page up a day for the last 3 years has been a great way to connect with readers and build the audience. But Dreamland will always be a book FIRST and webcomic second.
I hope that helps and thanks again for reading.
Scott
yay, another day where the highlight of the page is Nicole looking odd. =.=
no offense Scott, i read ur ‘book first’ stuff, but on this one i agree with Marc. Today i wasn’t sure if I were going to look at all. that’s the first day that happens. should that mean anything??
Stay true to your work ethics, Scott. I understand the “book first and webcomic second” philosophy. That’s the way I read it and I have no problems with it.
Nuh uh, Dan! She doesn’t trust you now, XD!
I love how Nicole can’t keep her emotions off her face to save her life — it’s so charming. ^_^
I know he’s kidding, but basically I thinks Dan’s being an insensitive jerk.
This look means “LEAVE BEFORE I DESTROY YOU”, known as the Skull-Eye.
Dan should thread carefully if he wants her to help. ;P
I just got my package in today! 😀 It’s awesome. The figures all look amazing, and Paddington is so squishy and lovely. XD
Are they going to make out yet?
Am i the only one hearing Achmed in his head from her look? “SILENCE!!! I KEEL YOU!!! XD
Yeah, stick to your guns. I think the current section of real-world-ity has done worlds for Nicole’s character. Before it was just “Science! Science! Science!” but now we’ve learned she’s a little more complex than that. After all, she’s got to be keeping all this junk for *some* reason, right? Nice work.
Scott.. well when I see it as 3 pages out of 300 it’s not as bad I agree.. I guess I just like to be able to read what’s next as soon as possible and when the action isn’t as fast, it’s harder to do haha Same with books.. I hate having to wait for a sequel to come out just so I can know what happens next :p
Great Comic! I love the expressions on Nicoles face the past few days. One question though; is Dan wearing shoulder pads in that second frame? >.<
Thank you guys.
And Marc…thanks for understanding. This is why I put the books out in 300 page increments. I hate to wait too.
🙂
So you get a lot for your money…and you get a big meaty read.
Jiggily Joe…
He’s just shrugging his shoulders. I think it’s a skinning problem that makes it look like that.
Egtwel…
I don’t know what to tell you. But I hope you don’t leave the story completely. I totally understand if you want to wait a few weeks and catch up. Or wait for the next book.
I know I couldn’t read this daily.
You guys are WAY too patient.
🙂
To those complaining about how long it takes for action to happen-
I bought my partner the books, I think, for last Christmas (or perhaps a couple of months later.) You think waiting each day for one new page is bad, try having to wait for a year or so for the next installment. (He gave up after a couple of months and now steals my laptop daily. “Dreamland Time” comes before whatever I’M doing!)
Personally, I think it’s better that it reads well once we’re past it. In one of the other webcomics I read a lot, the same battle has been going on for nearly a year now; and he updates one to three pages a WEEK. I’ve been reading his comic nearly from the beginning, and I know that these long-winded scenes read fantastically well once you’re not reading them one page every day (or week.)
This is exactly the same. You start from the beginning and read through the entire archives; and imagine if Mr Sava had shortened all the long scenes to “speed things up”. Imagine how much the suspense and feeling would be ruined.
At the end of the day, you’re getting five quality pages every week, without fail, unless a horrid stinking infection gets in the way. (I think that’s happened… Once?) That’s a lot of comic for FREE. If you don’t like the pacing, re-discover the comic in a month or so when things will have sped up, and you’ll have a well-paced scene waiting for you.
With professional comics designed for publication, the final result is ALWAYS the most important thing- and personally, I think the pacing of this is great. Okay, I really want to know what happens; who hooks up with who, when, and how does it end, etc. But I’d rather read quality stuff that captures a lot of emotion and shows a lot of character developement than rush it.
Keep it up, Scott- you have two guys over here who read it every day, even when it goes slowly. We still find delight in each page- especially with the brilliant banter between these two! Love it.
((Sorry for the hugely long post!))
🙂
Thank you Jase.
And thank you both for reading.
I would love to see Nicole and Felicity get together again. That would be so awesome!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw how cuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!! there first fight and their first death glaaaaaaaare!!!!! soooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I won’t tease you!”
“Oops, too late!” LOL
Last panel: “You’re soooooo dead next time you sleep, just wait”
Dan is hilarious
That last panel face of her has got me worried. I sense smoches coming…
Kismessitude.
Maybe that’s what it will take to get Dan to Dreamlands…
Love this page. Don’t know why.
Maybe the postures went to the next level of awesome.
