Page 851…
Happy Monday everyone!
I hope you had a great weekend. We had wonderful weather. Spring is coming.
I hope to be feeling better soon so I can spend more time outdoors.
This is the year Donna and I EXERCISE! Seriously. We’re doing it.
As soon as I get better.
I had to rework the dialog on this page. When lettering it last night…I wasn’t too thrilled with the dialog I’d written back in September. I may still change it. But wanted you guys to know.
I’ve gone through 150 of the 250 emails sitting in my inbox. My apologies to those I’ve not replied to yet.
I’m working through the pain and the doctor visits and such as best as I can. But I WILL reply to each of your emails. Thanks for your patience.
Other than that….? Um…
Kids are good. We’re good. And I’m happy working on Dreamland.
What more is there?
🙂
OH! I know. Can you guys make out that there’s a figure casting a shadow in the last panel? The one speaking.
Let me know if that’s clear.
Thanks and hope you enjoyed today’s page.

I thought you were going to let Nicole enter Dreamland to cheer up Felocity. Silly me.
Yeah, you can totally see that shadow thingie there. Awesomeness so far, but like everyone else, I sort of want another “grown-up” to visit Dreamland! You had wonderful weather?? I’m envious!! We had really bad weather here. Tornadoes and whatnot. Blew all our swingsets and whatnot all over the backyard!! I’m glad the kids are good, I know we were all worried about lil B. OH LOOK, a Centaur! YAY! **Claps**
Yes You Can See The Shadow, The Person Yelling At Alex Is Most Likeley Nastajia Jumpin On Him For Being Away Too Long, Or Then Again It Could Be Some Other ProblemHe HAs to Face Now.
why do i have a feeling that shadow doesn’t mean well? and whenever is alex going to metion nicole? hmm… and i’ll be somewhat spetic about exerise… but who knows. things may/may not happen. *watches text carefully*
If you want an easy way to start exercising, look up america on the move. It’s an easy way to start getting some exercise in. The last hospital I worked at promoted this site to patients to help them out.
hope this helps and get well soon ^_^
Hmmmm …. I honestly can’t imagine Nastajia yelling at Alex with his full name.
By the facial expression it looks like someone unexpected I reckon.
It’s someone that needs to learn some manners….
“She needs rest……”
(Shouting)”ALEXANDER CARTER!!!!”
Shut up dope! Can’t you see Felicity needs her rest??
Oooh, someone calling his full name. That doesn’t bode well. I bet he’s in for a little ‘talk’. 😀
The shadow doesn’t exactly look like Nastajia, though. Or maybe… hmmm, we’ll see.
Those amazon.com links over on the right side of the site look more interesting with every weekday 😀
@duelhearts: Why should Alex mention Nicole? He doesn’t know about her past in Dreamland. He had already left the room when Daniel found the poem.
…Whenever someone shouts his full name, he either gets hugged, or in trouble.
…Actually, I don’t recall his ever being in trouble and having his full name mentioned, but it’s a common thing.
Looking forward to tomorrow- and when Alex finally mentions Nicole. xD
It is totaly clear, first thing i did was tot look for it and then tried to figure out who it could be
after that i read your comments and saw the question if it’s clear
wel… it is!
i’m really curious to see who it wil be!
greetings from the netherlands from someone who also just strated excercising!
I think it’s Nastajia’s father!! But that might be difficult to explain.
I don’t know who it is, but I really want it to be Nicole.
Unlikely, though. Unless she’s found herself a trigger/talisman like Alex’s sword that will let her come to Dreamworld as an adult?
yep and see it. cant wait to see who it is.
That shadow definitely is not Nicole, unless she fell asleep while eating dinner with Dan… notice that he’s not that when Alex fell asleep. I’m guessing this is a centaur who is going to help him rediscover how to fly (remember when they said the centaurs will help him?). The shadow’s a bit too wrong for Nastajia.
Is someone’s eyes getting a tad green?
Not unexpected.
Good morning all.
Thanks for the feedback.
Glad the “mysterious shadow” works.
And…
NO…it’s not Nicole.
Remember also…Alex was in his dorm gorging on candy while Nicole recounted her story with Felicity to Dan.
So…he knows nothing about it.
The most he would have is the knowledge of her drawing…but since she so vigorously denied any connection…he’s undoubtedly put it out of his head.
Mhmmm… my guess is: it sounds like his mother (like when she scolded him when they visited for a weekend?) – I am very curious to find out who it is going to be.
Yeah, you can.. the figure has his arms spread wide open. With the speach bubble leading to the left though, I never even saw the shadow until you asked. Perhaps the tail should be left off of the speach bubble? there’s really no way to have the arrow towards the reader 😀
Also, the medic? mender? girl-with-stripes-below-her-eyes? looks grainy.. it makes me think either she’s fading or that the room is REALLY dusty.
Other than that, I’m still pleased with the quality 🙂
Had to tell me it was there, but yes, I can see the shadow. 🙂 Probably couldn’t see it at first because I was concentrating on the text bubble and it’s all the way over on the left side. My bad.
Hope you get to feeling better soon! Good-weather days are no time to be laid up with the hurts!
It’s been so long, I forgot they were in the centaur camp. He doesn’t looked surprised as much as dreadful. Nice work on the shadow though.. 🙂
Shadow’s kinda big. The only person I can think of that would cast a shadow that big would be the nearby fairy… although lack of wing shadows makes me wonder.
There’s a exercise plan called the 5BX Plan that has its origins in the Royal Canadian Air Force. It starts out waaaay simple, (the first level is for children 6 years of age) and progresses really slow. It’s a great way to start if you want to advance very gradually. Here’s the address: http://www.gettingfitagain.com/5bx.php .
As far as the shadow is concerned, I could see it, but I’m not sure if it was because you mentioned it or not. Either way, the page works because I could tell a mysterious figure was at the entrance.
hmmmm who could it be? I’m not sure it Nastajia cos she would know that Felicity needs rest and to me it appears male…so it must be a character we’ve not met yet but is tied to Alex from his past in Dreamland. I’m guessing he knew about the centaurs because he wasn’t suprised when he met them. I really like the light/dust affect you have going on in the last panel. Hooves would kick up a lot of dust in a hard dirt terrain.
If it was Nicole, I don’t think she’d be shouting Alex’s full name, more then likely she’d be freaking out over Felicity. My bet is on Nastajia, and I think she’s angry about something. Probably about the tease of a nap he had around Thanksgiving. LOL
10-4 on the shadow.
And I think that sounded like Alex’s mom. Of course, she would have used his middle name if he was in REAL trouble, so he just might survive this one.
Exercise is a four-letter word. 🙁
How could it possibly be Nicole…? Adults normally can’t enter Dreamland, unless through very special circumstances… Alex’s necklace is his. I keep thinking Dan will somehow end up in Dreamland, because he’s never dreamed in his whole life…
Nah, I’m thinking it’s the Dwarf King. Kinda looks like his shadow. Do I get a cookie if I’m right?
Actually, I think it a Centaur from Alex’s past. If you look at his/her shadow, it is wider at the hip area than his/her upper half. By the way, really enjoy the story and the art so far.
Darn – and here I was hoping Alex and Felicity would get a chance to talk for a while. Oh well – maybe Alex is about to start Flight School, and the instructor just showed up!
It’s TOTALLY gotta be Kiwi. I know, I know…big shadow, little fairy. But come on, who else would shout his name like that? Certainly not Paddington. And I doubt it’s Nastajia – she’s not the screechy type either.
Ah! I take it back. Just did a double take, and the shadow looks male. Perhaps this isn’t a shout, more of a rumbling command from some deep voiced centaur. Hmmmmm
Well, I can’t wait to find out!
The shadowing guy is NOT THAT CLEAR.
No Efence Scott
I am talking to the dude who writes dreamland
The healers dialog in the second panel seems really familiar – didn’t someone say almost the same thing when Alex first made it in to see Felicity at the Centaur camp.
As to who’s looking for Alex… I can totally see the shadow, but have no idea who it might be…
There is an exercise plan that has its origins from the Royal Canadian Air Force. It’s called the 5BX plan, and it starts out waaaaay simple, (The lowest level is for children like 6 years old). It progresses at a very gradual rate. It’s a great start if you want to take it slow.
As far as the shadow is concerned, I had no problems seeing it but dunno if it was because you mentioned it or not. Either way, the page works because I can easily tell there is a mysterious figure at the entrance.
It’s Alex’s mother! She somehow found her way into dreamland! And she sounds REALLY angry!
(seriously though, it’s probably someone he knew from his childhood in dreamland but didn’t remember)
I get the feeling it’s an elven monarch…
Where do we send Fan-made stuff?
Look at the details that you can make out. The person looks like they have at least shoulder length hair that isn’t in a pony-tail (look at the shadow around the neck), or they are wearing armor that comes above the collar a little. I’d go for the long hair, since the shoulders look like they have different armor pieces on each side (they don’t match).
Looks OK to me: even if the shadow is not clear, there must be someone stage left to speak the line.
I just think that Felicity needs to confess what she’s “sorry” about (from yesterday) before she will want to get well and start healing.
