Another end to another week.
Boy they seem to go by quicker and quicker…don’t they?
Β
We had a fabulous time at the PRedators/Penguins game last night.
Carey at William Morris got us 8 rows back…center ice. We’ve never been so close in our lives…and it was a spectacular way for the boys to enjoy their first game.
Also…thanks to Andre over at NHL for supplying the tickets.
The Preds won 5-3 by the way.
π
Β
Also…today is Donna’s and my 16 year wedding anniversary.
You may remember a month ago when I posted about our 20 year anniversary of the day we met.
Some of you mistook that for 20 years married. But no…we’ve been married 16 years now this day.
We’ll be going out to dinner while Grandma and Grandpa watch the boys. A special treat for us since we’ve never had family close by so we could get away.
Β
And lastly…I wanted to let you know of a reader of ours named Jeannie. Her daughter was born in May and had a rare liver disease. Despite surgery…she needed a transplant.
This last november…she got it.
From the sound of it…she’s doing great. But they’re raising some money for her and I thought I’d let you all know about it. In case any of you are able to help.
Her website is…

I don’t see a post up there now about the auction. Or if anyone can donate.
But we did send some books and toys over in hopes it would help. And I’ll definitely let you all know how baby Ember does as I hear.
I don’t know Jeannie other than she emailed me with her story. So I can’t answer any questions. But follow the link if you’d like to find out more. Maybe offer some words of encouragement and/or prayer.
Β
Ok…it’s late…and I need to get to sleep. I will see you all in the morning and hope you all enjoyed this week and look forward to showing you more next week.
Scott
We’ll have to see if Dan can keep his promise. If anything, it’ll be very hard for him.
Oh, and I’m glad you had a good time at the hockey game Scott and have a great weekend!
Cute.
Dan is the living proof that one can be silent and say a lot of things all the while. That lad and nicole are – in my opinion – set for developing a wonderful crush on each other.
@limax: Oh, he doesna need to utter even a single word. Look at that smile – says everything in my opinion!
@scott: wonderful, delightful page. I think I’m gonna get used to that as a daily pill for having some silent laughs and smiles. π
I love Daniels Zipping motion and the expressions on his face. Especially the way his eyes and eyebrows transition.
Happy Anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Sava!
That was a beauty of a comeback…five unanswered goals and all. Something really needs to change in Pittsburgh if they want a chance at the Cup. Dunno if they need a coaching change, a few new players, or what…
Glad you had fun though. π Hockey for hockey is always a good thing. I get my first live hockey in two weeks tonight and I’m beyond excited.
Maybe I’ll see you at the Caps/Preds game! π
O.o monkey hands…
Well, congratulations!
By the way, I’m in love with dreamland.
Why don’t ya marry it Gwendoline? XD
Happy Anniversary Scott!
Happy Anniversary! And thanks for supplying another great page! We’ll see how long Dan lasts, assuming Nicole accepts it…
Congratulations with your 16 years or marriage π
Ahhh! So you and Donna have known each other for 20 years, but have been married for 16, right?? That’s awesome! Hubby and I have known each other since high school, but we only started dating after he finished college which was about ten years ago, and we’ve been married for seven of those ten years.
I can so sympathize with Nicole, having been picked on by two older siblings for most of my childhood. lol!
Well, at least Dan’s agreed to stop with the teasing (at least verbally). It’s clear he’s hurt Nicole when she’s already upset with all of this Dreamworld stuff. I’d think he’d cut her some slack. Lighten the mood, sure, but don’t make bad feelings worse. From reading these comments, it seems I’m the only one who can relate to the way you’ve depicted Nicole during this time. I hope A) I’m not the only one feeling for Nicole or B) I’ve been misreading her body signals and facial expressions.
Scott, I hope you and your lady have a wonderful anniversary!
Also, thank you for creating this wonderful story with characters I care so much about. In additon to the daily pages, I’ve enjoyed the books (as have my family) and the Wowio stuff was great as well.
“They seem to go by quicker and quicker, don’t they?”
Welcome to the business end of middle age, Scott. Wait until you wake up one morning and think, “Is it June? Wasn’t it just February?”
Great “zipping the lip” there. Hard to express in a static comic, but you did it perfectly. It feels like there’s a word missing from Nicole’s dialogue, however. Like she should be saying “Not one more word!” I realize it works either way, but she seems more like the ordering type than the bargaining type.
LOL! Thanks a bunch Casual Notice…thanks a bunch.
π
And thank you all. I’m so glad you enjoyed today’s page.
I almost…ALMOST put the words “ZIIIP” by his mouth.
So glad I didn’t have to.
I keep thinking of one way to zip his mouth shut for a while… KISS HIM ALREADY!! π They already act like a married couple (Speaking from experience, Scott? π ).
Which leads into the congrats to Scott and his better-half on a successful 17 year anniversary! With a lotta love, you’ll see another 17 years and more. π
And thus Dan delayed his doom.
Congrats 2 u both!
Perhaps I’ve missed the point of this whole sequence. I’ve certainly appeared to be outvoted as to it’s intent. I’ll shut up now.
Happy Anniversary! ^_^
I am loving these comics with Daniel and Nicole. I’d never thought I’d say this but I want the comic to stay OUT of Dreamland for awhile so I can see what happens with them π
Happy Anniversary! π May you both have a lovely day!
Dave, I feel some for Nicole, too — she’s confused, things aren’t making sense anymore, and now this person she was beginning to like (and respect intellectually) is making fun of her. I imagine the teasing is hitting her a lot harder than Dan meant it — he’s not all that serious, he finds it cute, but I’m sure she’s not used to being teased and doesn’t know how to deal with it. I imagine as a kid, she got teased and didn’t know how to deal with it then, either.
But that’s who she is, and this sequence shows that.
I expect that as Dan learns more about who she is, he’ll be a little more gentle about things. He’s not out to hurt her. But he’ll still try to push her buttons. Partly because he likes her. But partly because she’s been pushing him and Alex pretty hard, and Alex is the sort to let that stuff slide but Dan is the sort to push back.
Well, I wish you the best of days for your Anniversary! And my prayers and well wishes also go out to baby Ember.
Congratulations on 16 years!
I like the way you made him zip the lip. I agree with Snicker in that is a hard thing to do in a comic, and I’m so amazed at how well you pulled it off! Good work, Scott!
why do these comics take time to make, and why do they END, WHY DO THEY FREAKIN END
my world crashes down when they end, i need people to talk to, who make comics, talk to in real life or so, i need someone who can explain things to me… not about comics, just about the damn world, this goddamn universe…
congrates on 16 years. As always the comic was great. Dan says so much with his eyes. I will pray for Baby Ember. I hope she gets the liver. have a great weekend
kittin
Man, I love the whole ‘zip lips’ thing he just did! That’s priceless!
zip a dee do da, zip a dee day… my oh my what a wonderfull page! day! i mean day!… XD.. i’ve lost it… but congrats on your sixteen years of chaos! and glad you guys enjoyed ur hockey game. But dan, pull up pull up! whatever chances you have r going down!
Panels 3 and 4 are the most adorable panels I’ve ever seen, chibis notwithstanding.
π
Hey Scott i’ve been a fan since i bought the first book, in a local comic book store, last year around November. I really enjoy Dreamland Chronicles. Have a Happy and Healthy New Year. I’m lookin forward to seeing the next pages. God bless you and your family
What girl doesn’t want a pony? I did…
So. Its Alex from Nashville Again. I noticed how much fun you had at the Predator’s game, so I went to Saturday night’s. It was AMAZING. Predators crowds are so wild and fun, and it was so satisfying to hear the thuds as people got smacked around. π it was awesome, it made me happy to think your children got to experience that. π
THanks Eric!
Thanks Alex! So glad you had a good time as well at the Predators game! Definitely want to do it again.
I know that look…That’s the ‘If I could kill you with my mind, you would be dead.’ look.
At least Nicole is giving him a last chance…
Appreciation for this inoframtion is over 9000Βthank you!
This will only end in tears, I just know it…
