Page 842…
Well I had my MRI yesterday.
Was fun. They actually give you your choice of like 14 different shorts in all sorts of “hip” colors and styles to wear. I picked brown cause it matched my shirt. I was quite the snappy dresser in my shorts and long sleeve shirt struttin’ into the MRI room. Yeeeahhhh….
🙂
I find out today how it goes.
Hopefully it’s not so bad.
When the dorctor looks at the MRI of my spine…I don’t want to hear the words “destroyed” “exploded” or “I can’t even make out what that is!!”
We haven’t officially canceled the tickets to Wondercon in case a miracle happens and they find out that I have a rare ailment that is cured by PEZ or TIC TACS or something.
Fingers crossed.
I hope you’re enjoying these pages. I am SO worried I’m somehow screwing them up.
Fortunately I wrote these pages months ago. And rendered the panels weeks ago.
It’s just the clean up and lettering to do at this point…but I still worry.
Good thing is…I can clean them up and fix mistakes before Book Four comes out next year.
See you guys tomorrow.
Scott
Nicole is so indecisive.
PEZ always works for me! Seriously, hope the reading goes well for you Scott and that you don’t need serious amount of work done.
Oho… Nick might be one of the ‘they’ that Nicole refers to. Good luck with the results, Scott.
The art and story is still awesome. I’m on tenterhooks.
I love these people. I love their creator. Peace, and you’re in my prayers!
LOLed @ PEZ and Tic-Tacs.
\/ & <3 bro, you’ll get through this patch. 🙂
Big LOLz At The Pez And Tic-Tacs Scott,Hope The Next Will Be Better For You.
Lol, Pez and Tic-Tacs?? That would be like, so awesome. Wow, poor Nicole. Stupid meanie-head Dragon! **Shakes a fist**
Funny, my mother had an MRI yesterday as well. They’re checking for mini strokes, a certain type of glaucoma, or brain cancer. The strokes would be the best case scenario.
Here’s hoping that both of them turn out as well as can be.
Your recent pages, as always, are beautiful.
Best wishes, prayers, and healing vibes… I do hope whatever is wrong is a minor, fixable thing.
Best wishes, and after taking a break from TDC, I’m really enjoying these latest comics 🙂
Oh, well, the fear of the ursupator that he ‘s gonna get his frickin’ ass kicked big time.
Scott – wish you well mending and cool vibes. 😉
That’s one great page showing the paranoia of a nazi-like dragon. Well – ursupators sometimes get their asses handed back big time. ^^
Sorry in advance, if my word-choice should be offending.
I wish you all the best Scott! I hope you`re on the better hand soon. 🙂
Love the page, it`s tough if you`re just being rescued like Felicity did for Nicole and then be told to run away…
Wait….is that english? `on the better hand` I think I just wrote a dutch saying here in english….lol! I just woke up, sorry 😀 What I mean is: I hope you`ll be better soon, that is what it means. haha!
Well, I wish you all the best!
I really enjoyed the last pages and I’m looking forward to the next ones.
But most important: Get well soon!
I said PEZ OR Tic Tacs…
OR!
You guys want to over dose me with BOTH. It’s OR…NOT AND!
🙂
And thanks guys.
I guess part of the problem with the steroid shot is insomnia. Cause I could NOT sleep last night. I finally got about 4 hours between 1 and 5…so I thought I’d get up and get some work done.
And Fajen….my love to your mom. Here’s hoping and praying for the best for her.
I’m glad you’re getting such fast treatment. Here, you could be waiting months for an MRI – the Canadian health care system is free, but it’s not always fast. I hope your wish for a Pez or Tic Tac cure comes true.
As for the pages, they are beautiful and spell-binding as always.
Yesh! Pez and Tic Tacs together! One can never have enough sugar don’t you know. lol!!
The pages look great as always Scott. You worry too much! And best wishes for today at the doc’s office! We all have our fingers crossed for you.
The quality hasn’t dropped AT ALL! in my opinion..and I’m very critical. You’re amazing in that you’re keeping this positive outlook. It’s got to be hard. I’m hoping that a simple visit to the chiro’ can make you feel better and that you can go to wondercon.
jeez now I want pez lol
I’ve had an MRI on my lower back with the term “Ah crap” and “that can’t be good” being used.
Yeah. Good feeling.
That close-up of Nicodemus’ skin in panel 4 is cool… makes me wonder how many dragon-skin purses and boots could come out of someone that size. >:)
LOL!!! I can see the weird look on the pharmacists face when he goes to fill that PEZ dispenser RX. “Would you like the Scooby-Doo or Pac-Man dispenser, Scott?” LOL
Scott, I think the sugar from the Pez *or* Tic Tacs caused the insomnia, not the steroid shots. 😉
At any rate, I think the pages are still looking wonderful!! Poor little Nicole and Felicity! (And I’m with Allison.. dragon-skin purses, anyone??)
I’m sorry to hear that about your back, man. 🙁 Don’t worry, the pages are beautiful, I’m loving them.
Here’s hoping the Pez or Tic Tacs work for you, among other things, and I love the pages as is. Nick is still the fantastic villian that can scare me. I don’t know it it’ll help, but I’ve always found watching Princess Bride when I’m sick or in pain to be a very helpful placebo.
And as much as I hate saying this, it fits the bottom panel perfectly: “RUN, NICOLE, RUN!!”
Thank you guys.
I’m leaving shortly for my check up. We’ll see how it goes.
🙂
LOL! I’ll second that! RUN NICOLE, RUN!!
Ruddy Nic! Can we see the outcome with the battle of the dwarves, Pleeeeeeease? Hope they left some marks on that scaley hide of his…
Hope the MRI report is favorable, Scott! ‘Sigh’, if only more things could be solved with pez and tictacs…
YIPES! LOL, You slipped a comment in before I finished typing, Scott! Good luck on your checkup!!
@ Scott: We know you said Pez or Tic-tacs. I put it that those with comments like: “lol @ the Pez and Tic-tacs!” Were not suggesting you take both at once, but you’re stating of both (or should I see each?) as possible cures was amusing, and so they laughed at you refering to both Pez and Tic-tacs as potential solutions – whether individually or not. 😀
Sorry about droning on. I’m the odd stickler for such grammatical discrepencies promoting misunderstanding. Wow, I sound like a geek. 😛
Either way – Yes, Nicole. Run. Fast.
The comic still looks great! I love how Nic’s wing is semi transparent in the last frame! Good luck on the Dr. Visit!
Loving these pages! I would like to echo all the get well wishes – my grandfather got a herniated disk a couple years ago and he still walks around in back brace to prevent re-injury. Here’s hoping it doesn’t happen to you!
Pez. Forever and always.
And you needn’t worry about the quality of your pages, Scott. It’s as good as it’s ever been, if not better.
First time reader, Love the story line. I went throught the whole archive today. Did not get much work done. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
Oh wow! Let us know soon if you can get to wondercon or not, since you’re my main reason for wanting to go this year! 🙂
Another comment not to hear “Oh, that’s interesting!”
I feel really bad about your spinal, how shall I put it, issue. However, you still seem to be able to be completely hillarious, so you probably will not be hearing the words “exploded, destroyed, or I can’t even tell what this is.” Keep up the good work Scott!
I had an MRI taken of my back for a disk disease. The disease is called Pagets Disease, and it hurts most of the time. The only relief that I get now is massive doeses of IBphrophen, and heat. Surgery is being considered right now. All I want to to move without pain. I know from where you are coming from.
Scott hope the MRI results are good and you can be fixed up soon 😉
Still loving the comic its great!!
Unfortunately, I think the only malady that Tic Tacs is an approved treatment for is bad breath.
Nicodemus has a thing against humans. Does he know one will replace him some day?
Actually, It is really quite appreciative that Fel is thinkin’ of Nic,I mean,Nicole
Reading through this comic several years afterwards is like following two separate plot lines. “What is going to happen to Nicole and Felicity” and “Will Scott’s back recover in time for WonderCon.”
Okay, but is there really any danger if she gets caught? They’ll throw her out of the city, but that’s where she’s running anyway.
