Page 857…
Hey guys…
So yesterday we raised my monitors and keyboard and such. Just put some boxes under them.
Now I can stand and work. It seems to be a bit easier. So I was able to get another page done.
🙂
I had such a fun time reading your comments yesterday regarding the talking eyeball sword…I actually added Alexander’s reaction based on that.
Now he’s trying to poke the eye open (as most guys would do). Nastajia of course has more respect for these things…
Hope you enjoy.
Scott
Looking at the second to last panel, with the fringes, are you going for a 3D-glasses expanded experience?
Cool indeed. Isn’t the light focus a bit much for the last couple of comics?
Ahaha she just smacked him. Alex is such a kid.
😀 😀 The eye just spoke some heavy words, really majestic moment, and Alex is all `ohwowdidyouseethat!??`*poke poke*
Great reaction! 😀
Nastajia is a bit cross eyed in panel 4, it looks a bit odd to me. Thought I`d share.
dude i sooo would have used a stick… incase the eyeball also had a mouth… and it would bite me…. and how it talked and stuff…. i am reminded of the simpson’s movie when the squirrel mutates. “jab jab jabbity jab jab JAB” “One more jab and it is a federal offence” lolz…. it is 515 am for me and i haven’t slept in three weeks so sue me… (i have irratic isnomia)
LOL! I wonder what the centaurs think of Alex. Big guy, big armor, big sword with mystical powers,…and he’s standing there trying to poke his sword in the eye. *shakes head* Unfortunately, I can see almost every guy I know doing this…
That’s funny … of course, if poking it in the eye would work, it would ONLY serve to make it angry … lol
man his armor is shiny
Hee hee… it’s as if he had forgotten what was just said. Alex can be such a kid sometimes. 🙂 And he remembered the “eye thing.” I actually had to go back and look at my first dead tree volume to see that… it was very brief, it looks like.
Hmm… I wonder what’s going to happen next.
*chuckle* I would so probably do that too “Heywoahdidyouseedi’tjustdothat?” and poking. ‘Staj’s reaction was great. Doesn’t bother with words, just smacks his hand down.
“*smack!*” haha.. love that reaction..especially coupled with the glare. hehe
sorry I haven’t been commenting lately 🙁 I’ve been sick 🙁
I’m glad to hear that you’ve got some sort of resolution. Now you don’t have to stress over dreamland or your other internet persuits. Maybe less stress will make you feel better?
you’re still in my thoughts 🙂
Morning all…
Looking at it this morning. It is a bit shiny.
Maybe I’ll go back and clean it up at a later time.
But glad you liked the poking.
🙂
I would do the same thing. LOL!!! Glad to hear you are feeling better. Got my tickets and hotel for San Diego Comic Con!!! Hope to see you there.
LOL typical “GUY” reaction! the sword just told him that he needs to prepare for war and he is focusing on the eyeball!! and of course Nastajia is there to keep him straight!
Glad to hear you’ve got a work around! I hope it will help your healing process. I know you are in pain, and I think you already said you are doing exercise, but this site has helped me! http://physicaltherapy.about.com/od/flexibilityexercises/ss/BackStretches.htm
Thanks Joey.
I’ll check it out.
And also I updated the page a bit. Hope it’s a bit easier to read now.
Ha! Great sequence! Alex, acting like most guys, Nastajia, reacting like most women would… perfect! And congrats on getting your work area set up where you can do your magic with less pain… I’m still praying for complete healing!
The poking is awesome. That would probably be my reaction to a talking eye thing too. Or I would at least suggest it and see if anyone would do it…
Nastajia always looks so unhappy… even when she’s not upset. 🙁
Great update! Alex’s reaction is classic, and very relate-able!
I also like the reminder that this had happened when Alex was a kid – the previous update rung a bell in my memory, but it wasn’t until I read this page that I understood why.
May you continue to recover – don’t work too hard!
Respectfully,

That was funny, after the magical sword with the eye just got done doing the whole RPG-Fantasy forshadowing destiny bit he does the most un-expected thing, he starts poking its eye port.
Glad to hear that you’re adapting well, Scott! You have my prayers that you continue to make good progress with your health!
Great page! Heheheheh! Smack that hand! |-) Yeah, he’s such a *:o) , proving the very thing that the sword said in the earlier page.
omg!! xD thats really funny Scott! i would poke it too! ^^; hehe and i love reading your comic cause its fun to read what they say out loud to myself i’m pretty sure that if my classmates don’t already think i’m crazy then they will after i read comics and such to myself and just sit here and giggle. xD yay for being strange! :3
and yes i’m glad you are doing better!! i hope you continue to feel good!
hehe *poke poke* perfect response =D
I’m getting a really ominous feeling here….
hahahahaha!! *poke,poke* Too funny, and yes, I agree Natasha smacking his hand is perfect.
Hilarious!!! Alexander being reminded of his childhodd and at once acting like a little boy again… Very obserant of man-behaviour ;o)
Take your time and get well!
Panel 5 is the best panel ever.
Seriously.
Sorry this is sorta off-topic here, but page 1227 (2 pages ago) seems to be damaged? Or are you in the process of replacing it? Thanks.
I love you, Alex. I expected a war to eventually come, (When doesn’t war come in fantasy novels? And war was hinted at for two chapters now) and you’re too fasinated by reliving something in your childhood. Good to hear Nastajia isn’t prepared either, and will keep Alex in line as well.
Hey Lurker…
I know you posted this question yesterday as well.
No. THere’s nothing wrong with that page. Maybe you need to refresh or something?
The page is fine.
Hmm, apparently it was a problem with my browser cache. Many apologies for the unnecessary trouble.
Hey!
I really love your comics. And, making things more
ergonomic is huge. It will definitely make things easier on you.
But, DON’T lie around all day! Do the exercises! Move!
Especially, if you don’t want to be laid up for a long time.
I A A D, but not a writer 😛
Just noticed your jukebox. Love it. Just enough music to get me through my daily webcomics and emails. Thanks Scott.
Love the comic too by the way. : )
XD no pokee the eye!
Glad to see he gave the sword back. I was a little worried for a couple of pages there…
“So yesterday we raised my monitors and keyboard and such. Just put some boxes under them.
Now I can stand and work. It seems to be a bit easier. So I was able to get another page done.”
Wise choice. I have a “standing desk” and have always preferred them over the lower sit-down desks. I made my own, as well based off a design I saw here:
http://www.hardwoodfurniture.com/sitting-standing-computer-desk.htm
The ones on that site are nice, but not cheap. 🙂
Just a note that I got the shipping notice from Amazon for book 3 at last. They say they have 4 left in stock, so order soon if you want one.
I just got my notification from Amazon too. My copy of book 3 is on it’s way! Woo Hoo!
BTW – only 2 left in stock now.
I love it when she smacked his hand away. 🙂
silly boy. Love it. I just hope Mr. Centaur Chieftain guy isn’t going to spank him
DONT POKE THE EYEBALL
dont poke the bear and dont poke the eyeball, why is that so hard to understand.
Him poking at the eye was a case of “Act now, think buh?” I mean, really, about the only reaction, if any, he could achieve by doing that would be to irritate the sword, and do you really want a magical, talking, cuts-through-anything eyeball-y sword mad at you?
But Nastajia smacking his hand away and both of their expressions as she did so was absolutely PRICELESS! (No Mastercard jokes please).
Oh, had to add, that her not SAYING anything as she did so was the topper.
I <3 Nastajia so much.
“Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards [or poke magic swords in the eye]; you may end up … ribbit, ribbit.”
I fully expected SilverWolf to make one of those motivator pictures on this one …
😉
LOL – *SLAP* don’t prod the intelligent sword with 18 Ego rating!
Second time I think Nastajia has smacked someone, I think. The first being when they were at the kraken cave and Felicity started searching her cape.
