Hey all!
Well…we made it past our first day of 1st grade!
They were all ready to go. Our little Alexander and Daniel’s in the making. Dressed and happy with their Clone Wars backpacks and new shoes.
Once we got in the halls…the were RUNNING to their new classes where they met their teachers.
Really nice teachers too. They’re in good hands.
Our “Boo Hoo” breakfast went off without any tears (I’m proud of you Donna).
And we got SOME work done before it was time for the boys to come home.
Thanks all for the encouragement and kind words.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. And for those of you who REALLY wanted me to win that TGT tournament and do another podcast…here’s the link.
Thank you for your support.

Thank you again…and see you on Monday!
PS. We start the week in the lab. Ready to head back to Dreamland.
🙂
So, will you tell us later what was the content of that letter?
Personally I think the letter is a MacGuffin, important only for what it does. What’s in it is irrelevent. I do find Scott’s statement far more telling. If he’s sleeping in the lab tonight, how is Nicole’s view of this changing?
The second picture is a treasure!
Running in the halls! Detention!
Ah I remember first grade. Good times, good times.
Now if only I could remember what I was suppose to learn in collage.
comic: awwwww! she cares!
kids: CUUUUTE!
Perhaps I’m being really really picky, but does it seem like Alex’s smile is just a tad too big in the last panel? It looks a bit awkward, somehow.
(Note that I’m not trying to down the comic, I really really enjoy it 🙂 )
Alex’s expression in the last panel: Yeah, that’s right, who’s big brother now?
Lax,
Scott said yesterday that we’ll never get to see it.
On Nicole and Felicity, Scott said, “But this week was special. We ended the flashback sequence of Nichole and Felicity.
“I don’t know if they’ll ever see each other again. I haven’t written that part of the story out…and haven’t decided if it’s something I’ll show.”
Note: He did not say that that meeting won’t happen. Furthermore, he did not say anything about whether Nicole would get to go to Dreamland.
awe 😀 I love your family stories almost as much if not more than the comic. The “boo-hoo” breakfast is adorable… I told my mom about it and we smiled at how thoughtful you are 🙂
Awww!! What a great way to end the week. It’s pretty cool to see all three of them on the same page. 😀 Makes me pretty darn excited to see what happens next.
And how cute!! Your kids are just the cutest, Scott. Hopefully you and Donna can keep up their enthusiasm for learning and school. I’m sure you guys will ;-D
I love how your blond son is tilting his head for that innocent look. He doesn’t fool me! lol, j/k
I can’t wait to see what happens with the note. 🙂
Awww! Your sons are so cute! I hope they have a good time at school. Unlike me. 1st grade was awful for me! I was a shunned loser. 🙁
But it’s all over now, thank goodness! 🙂
Your boys are adorable – reminds me of the pictures of my twin sister’s and my first day of school. One blonde, one brunette, one a lot taller … but we wore uniforms. I think school uniforms should be brought back! 🙂
So glad that the first day of first grade went so well! May the rest of their school days be just as happy!
nice lighting work on Alex’s eyes
Finaly Daniel is geting some dreamworld action!
aww your sons are so cute =D they’re running to class, haha XD
hehe, Nicole’s face in the first panel is funny XD She had that “you’re a freak O_o” face =P But then suddenly she is all sensitive to Dan… hehe, she definitely likes him =P
Seems like this could actually be Alex’s best proof that Dreamland exists, for several reasons. They’ll probably be in the lab so Nicole can make sure that Alex doesn’t change the note himself that night.
I agree with everyone else, your kids are cute!!
The one with brown hair reminds me of the DM’s kid where I play D&D. Yes, girls can play Dungeons and Dragons.
I’m proud of Nicole though. So understanding now.
Cute kids, excellent story.
In many scenes I’ve seen of Nicole, she seems to have a sleepy eye or an inability to properly focus on a subject. She seems to look through or past whatever she should be looking at. That’s just how I see it, I could be wrong
First grade was great, I was still so sad to see her go…this year the BooHoo Breakfast is going to be the HipHipHooray Breakfast 😉 And two weeks later, it will be the “kind of sad, but kind of ready to go skipping and frolicking, ’cause i haven’t had a moment without a “helper” in years and am kind of looking forward to it breakfast” as the youngest heads to pre-school.
Scott, will Daniel ever go into Dreamland? Or Nicole?
Let us see if Alex will ask Nicole to join him, to visit Felicity.
Voting is still going on at TGTWebcomic, and TDC is holding a slim margin ahead of the Starship Moonhawk. Make sure that you vote early and as often as you can for the next 36 hours – I’m not exactly sure when the voting for this round will end.
I love the comic. Storyline is very cool and the graphics are amazing. All I can say is thank you for the comic and please dont stop. 🙂
Folks, TDC has been overtaken by Starhip Moonhawk in the TGT Tournament! They are ahead by 15 votes last time that I checked. Voting is to end at midnight on 15 August, just about 7 hours from now.
If you enjoyed Scott’s interview the first time, and you love his works, please take the 30 seconds to visit http://tgtwebcomics.com/events/T50 and give Scott your vote!
I see a lot of similarity between Alex’s expression in panel 6 and the two boys in the first picture, on the bench. LOL!
Awww I sent my 10 year old off to his 1st day of 5th grade just last Monday. They grow up fast!
Love the little Smug/Proud look on Alex’s face, it says too much.
<~~ Still hoping we can atleast eventually Infer/Theorize what the first letter was refering to, as i believe there will be more with it.
more to come*
Whew, there were SO many things Nicole could have said that would have ruined their budding relationship, and she didn’t say any of them. Nice.
And Alex is back in a central role, you can tell he’s happy about that, heh.
I decided to vote in the contest.
Episode 10 – Scott Sava from Dreamland Chronicles (50%, 982 Votes)
Episode 3 – Mike Prokop from Starship Moonhawk (50%, 981 Votes)
OH YEAH I BROKE A TIE.
why doesn’t Daniel just use the necklace to go to dreamland and give the centaur his reply himself? 😉
Aw. I love Alex’s face on the last panel. He’s got that ‘yay’ look.
Your kids are so adorable. I love the comment about them being a future Alex and Dan. Haha. And the tears. My. It won’t be long before I’m sending my little one to preschool. I know I’ll cry.
I could get a Paddington Plush?! I was browsing your store and saw that. My son would love it. I’d say I’d love it, but he’d end up claiming it anyway.
Update on the voting at TGTWebcomics, we are 20 votes behind Starship Moonhawk at present, and I have a correction to make. The voting ends at Midnight PST, about 5.5 hours hence. I just cast my 16th vote of the day, and plan on casting at least 5 more before it is all said and done. Again, I can’t do this by myself, so if you love Scott’s works, come out to http://tgtwebcomics.com/events/t50 and vote for him in bracket 1. Once an hour for the next 5 hours would be a kindness, and it may just put us on top at the end…
W00T! I love the sweet ending! There are so many possibilities of what could happen, I can’t wait to see what you do next!!
VERY cute boys, Scott and Donna :).
Well, now I’m confused. I thought that voting was on a Pacific timezone table, but it appears that Round 3 ended at 0100 EDT (Eastern). When I last checked, we fans of TDC had pulled off a big upset, and were leading Starship Moonhawk by more the 100 votes. That was when I cast my 19th vote of today. I was all set to cast my 20th, and the voting is no more. But, the full listing for the round is not yet posted, so I conjure that we’ll have to wait until the new day dawns before we learn of the fate of our intrepid artist…
Yanno, those are unbearably cute kids… kids simply shouldn’t be allowed to be that cute.
I love the strip and hate to be picky, but …
In panel 2, unless Nicole’s right arm is amputated at the elbow, it must be invisibly resting either on Daniel’s shoulder or on the back of the seat.
TGTWebcomic’s Kurt Sasso got back to me about the Bracket #1 finals, there will be a revote/tie-breaker taking place this coming Monday from 8AM for 24 hours. So, folks, get ready to start voting there early and every hour on Monday. I’ll be doing my very best to cast 22 or more votes. Round 3 has been renamed to the Semifinal Round, too. As soon as I know the URL to go to, I’ll be posting it here…
David…
I think it’s behind the chair.
We’re doing a revote? What, was it too close to call?
Daniel now has a “penpal.” ^__^
Hey, I’m glad to hear the first day of school went well!
^o^ Yays for you and your family! ^o^
“Dear Orion,
Please send Nicole a new arm. She seems to have lost hers in the second panel.
–Daniel”
Yes, a revote is afoot over at http://tgtwebcomics.com/events/t50/, only between Scott Sava and Mike Prokopt. Both are very good comics, and were very good intrerviews, Mike even came back and had the TGT crew on one of his podcasts last week. There, they were talking about Starship Moonhawk’s success in this tournament, and how The Dreamland Chronicles were all that they had to get by and they would go all the way to number one.
Mike stated that he has a group of fans that are loyal and some other hoo-hah, and I say that Scott has a fandom just as rabid about his works. I WANT ANOTHER INTERVIEW with Scott Sava, so let us show them at TGT and SMoonhawk what TDC means to us! This revote starts at 0800 Eastern tomorrow, Monday, and ends at 0800 Eastern on Tuesday.
I think that this revote grew out of them finding the same IP addresses voting every 5 minutes, something was awry in the poll controls. Similar happened during the NASA poll to name the new ISS node.
Anyway, Scott, put up a BIG notice about this in your next installment of the story, please. We can’t do much for the Top WebComic ratings (Goblins=23K+, TDC=5.3K+), but this we can do something about.
It is official, the revote will take place at http://tgtwebcomics.com/events/t50/ starting at 0800 EDT tomorrow, 17-AUG-2009. Voting will end on Tuesday, 18-AUG-2009 at 0800 EDT.
Please, peeps, come out and give Scott your votes hourly for as long as you can stand it. If all of the members here do so, we are sure to beat Starship Moonhawk. Sure, that story is more mature, but the style and production pale in comparison to Scott’s TDC. We are voting on the interviews, so if you have the time, listen to Scott’s at http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-22928/TS-151331.mp3
and Mike’s at http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-22928/TS-139072.mp3
Scott’s was much better, IMHO. Of course, Mike and Starship Moonhawk have their own podcast, and they had the Two Guys that Talk about Webcomics on their beat last week. That may be heard at http://media.blubrry.com/tgtwebcomics/recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-45815/TS-250374.mp3
For a second there, after Nicole said “What are you going to do next” I could totally imagine a diffrent response.
I’M GOING TO DISNEYLAND 😀
I LUV ALEX FACE IN LAST PANEL. AND UR KIDS THEY R SOOOO CUUUTTTE!
SRRY BOUT THE ALL CAPS
CAPS THINGGGIE ALL BROKENED
My twins ( identical not fraternal though) are starting 1st grade next week. Twins are great arent they?
