Next week…
We see what happens to the bag…and the necklace.
And…we return to Dreamland.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s pages.
My apologies for not having too much to say this week. I’ve been dealing with some computer issues. And haven’t been feeling to productive.
I hope to be my usual gabby self next week.
OK?
Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.
Scott
ahem… you were about five minutes late. and: First!!!11one
Well THAT was a big surprise, lol
Way to go, Nicole! You forgot to turn on the video equipment to see what happened to the necklace and purse as Alex goes to Dreamland.
Is it just me or does the necklace look unreal, and the shadow does not help the look, makes the thing look like its floating above Alex’s chest, a chain would always lie flat?

@Bowza: That’s exactly what I said yesterday! So I’m not the only one who noticed. Yes, a chain like the one depicted would always lie flat against the shirt of an inclined or horizontal subject. I guess the computer programmer didn’t do their research when they programmed “chain physics”.
I like panel 4. their position either looks like nicole is restraining dan or if they’ve been walked in on while they were kissing. 😀 (or both? haha)
@LazerWulf:
or it’s just a magical floaty object. it loves mocking the readers. 😉 (jk)
@leftover:
maybe the video taping’s not necessary… he is hooked to the electronics and those should register when alex is entering sleep state. if they turn to look at him then, it should be in time to see what happens. 🙂
There’s a little devil inside you that purposefully keeps us hungering for more. Now I can’t sleep the whole Week-End.
I think you are doing a great job. Much better than I could ever do. thank you for you giving of you time and skill that we can enjoy this wonderful comic. As for not being chatty well we all have times that we dont have much to say, it is ok.
good luck with the Computer Issue!
You know, after college, Alex is going to have trouble sleeping…”I can’t sleep unless I have electrodes pasted to my head!”
I knew it! Heheheheheh! The tricky part will be trying to catch what happens to the sword and medicine bag, while pretending to be nonchalant about it.
Check out panel 5 to see the necklace laying flat. It’s a talisman from Dreamland, what CAN’T it do! Amazing that you’ve managed to so subtly allow us a glimpse of one of it’s minor powers, Scott!
Why I remember a necklace I had that was exactly like that, except it didn’t have a sword on it, wasn’t in any way magical and got caught on a tree branch, broke and was lost the third day I had it. Other than that though, same thing!
Huh? Why yes, I’m on my eleventeenth cup of coffee, why do you ask?
Acutualy it does not matter “at least not to Daniel” if they see the things dissapear. As long as they are gone when he as asleep is “proof” enough. BUT, that will only be revealed AFTER his next adventure in dreamworld… wait a minute… Oh! You sly dog you ! 😉
Actually the necklace in panel 5 isn’t laying flat you can clearly see that there is space between the chain and the shirt. Also it like Alex is tilted up at a slight incline and not lying completely horizontal as the overhead shots make it look like. Which with his rather well shaped pecs as a bit of a cliff draws the blade of the sword down thus lifting the lower portion of the chain off of his shirt. With no floating involved. Just as Scott said yesterday. 😀
PS Sorry if this appears Anal or overly picky to anyone I don’t mean to offend. It’s just the way I see it.
Hey guys.
If whether the necklace is lying flat or not is what you’re finding wrong with the comic. I couldn’t be happier.
🙂
I dont’ get offended by crits ever. Really. As long as people are trying to help.
So thank you. And so glad you’re enjoying.
Scott
Scott, don’t worry about your “gabbyness.” you are awesome. Just keep doing what you are doing. I sure love your work.
Maybe Nicole and Dan should treat Alex like if he were a SEP ;P
oops it should have been “like if he was a SEP” of course
Hey, at least they are staring from _over_there_!
Heh. Nice poster on the wall.
Loving the comic as always Scott!
Hope 3DS Max and your new workstation learn to get along.
Thanks as always,
~Prince Demitri ^.^
Someone mentions a cliff-hanger, and lo’ and behold…granted, not much of one, but Scott tries never to miss an opportunity, right? Still, we could have guessed that the watchful staring would not allow Alex to doze… I was gonna suggest cameras and monitors, but those wouldn’t have been as much fun.
The chain is little too far away to see the full construction of it. Ignore the discrepancies and just enjoy the story, will you? I’m sure that Scott and his editing staff will work out any bugs before this panel makes it into a book.
Oh, and DO NOT FORGET TO VOTE this weekend, at:

The only things that I don’t like about the necklace is that it seems to be self-illuminating now. I don’t remember it doing that previously in the storyline, although I could be wrong. That self-illumination is also creating the “floating” effect, because it doesn’t match up with the rest of the image. Frame one is the perfect example. Light is being blocked but the necklace looks exactly the same in that frame as the last frame, except for the “shining” glow around it in the last frame. The sword also seems to be defying physics too by not being affected by lack of light and shadows.
nothing is ever perfect. one shouldnt expect it to be. lets move on from picking the necklace apart…
Cant wait to find out next week whether the necklace and bag disappear!!
@janey,
The probes connected to his head are for reading EEG and other brainwaves INSIDE of his head. The necklace & purse are OUTSIDE of his head.
Alex, who could? The necklace does look likes floating but it’s probably just the light of something :D.
Sorry I said anything now, think ill just go back to enjoying the comic for the great story that it is.
Bowza
Aye, figures it’d be hard to sleep with an audience. XD
0k is that your real pic? I wonder
You look a lot like a girl I knew,at least from this angle
Sorry for the freaky question but its weird
