Happy October 1st everyone!
You asked for it. And here’s the link banner. Hope you guys enjoy the vote incentive. And thanks for the votes.
Also…I did an interview over at Xventrikz…go over and take a peek.

Thanks to Anna for the fun interview.
Hope you have a great day. And thank you for visiting.

Ah, Felicity’s face is so cute in the first panel 😀
“Totally misses you” might be a slight exaggeration on Alex’s part, but anything to get the patient better, right?
Scott,
A few days ago, Pyre posted the lyrics to “Back to a Reason” by Savatage from their Poets & Madmen album as being very appropriate for Felicity. After reading the lyrics, I agree!
Any chance you could add this song to your Jukebox?
Thanks,
Yet another sign of Alex changing. Although he’s quite unfamiliar with the role of bringing hope to the hopeless, he’s doing the job very well.
Nastajia is also wisely not interjecting herself in the conversation.
Actually looked over the comments under Pyre’s post and found the youtube link to the song.

Very intense, in a 90’s kind of way. It might not exactly match the tone of the rest of your jukebox. 🙂 So no reason to add it to the Jukebox unless you really enjoy it. Everyone can hear it by following the link.
I wonder what makes her think that Nicole would hate her over what happened.
The banner ad at the top of the pay totally destroys the site’s design… Its out of place and really robs the look of the site…
Again, bear in mind that version is Savatage’s original, not the Part II from The Lost Christmas. The entire second half of the song is completely different, and thus fits much better ^_^
Given what it seems like her life’s been like (Nicodemus’ pawn), and her guilt over iit being nearly enough to kill her after everything the centaurs did for her, Felicity probably still feels low enough to blame herself for all sorts of things that don’t make sense.
Part II fits better, I mean. The original is a bit out-of-place regarding Felicity and Dreamland, at least until that foreshadowed war comes into the story..
SSSShhhiiiinnnnyyyyyy
I got a sword 🙂
Actually, it does make some sense. After Felicity became Nicodemous’ pawn, she knew she’d always be under close supervision and observation for some time. Felicity could not go back to try to find Nicole for fear that Nick would follow through on his threats against Nicole.
In short, Felicity feels that she had to abandon her friendship for the sake of Nicole’s safety. Felicity thought that Nicole would come to believe that Felicity didn’t want to see her again, and in a sense, that was true. Felicity has carried that guilt for years.
Felicity insisted that Nicole steal the apple from the vendor, which led to their ultimate capture by Nicodemus. She probably feels guilty because she couldn’t protect Nicole after she was caught. She also didn’t know what happened to Nicole when she ran away.
You’re right, it seems out of place.
“Alex” Yes, she’s okay, she doesn’t blame you; now get better so we can go on more adventures where I can show off for Stajia. (btw, I love the look at night for the page; words just can’t describe how right it fits this whole story)
FIRST RULE OF DOCTORING:
GO THROUGH ALL EXTREMES TO GET THE PATIENT BETTER.
Then show the bill and run.
I don’t know why, but this is one of the pages I actually heard the voices of the characters in my head. Felicity had a very high, almost child-like voice, but at the same time rough and “cat-like”. Very much like a rough cat’s meow. I don’t know why that happened. It was an interesting experience though.
Hmm… I was thinking; there is always the chance that Felicity won’t believe them, it does sound like a tall tale… but then how would they know about Nicole?
You should let the banner open in a new page.
Never allow banners to let someone move away from your site.
Unless you really want it like that.
“She totally misses you! She even included a few joints of catnip!”
I could feel the magic. The dialog, the lighting … everything came together perfectly. And I want to give Felicity a big hug in the first panel. Your best strip, Scott.
*dances*
Oh, we’re back in business. 😀
lol. “And I got my weed so we can get high together.”
Hi guys…
What banner?
I’m not seeing anything weird.
What banner?
This banner. http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z318/blahblahmoomoo/TheDreamlandChronicles-101200983722.jpg
I am in the United States.
Whoops, I meant to link this above
This banner.

Oh. The ad?
Those have been there for a couple weeks, now.
Is it that one in particular? Or just having an ad up there?
Keep it clean for the kiddos, you two.
I don’t want to have to explain to my 6 year olds what joints, weed or getting high is.
They read everything on my screen when they come down to my office(it’s scary).
Staj looks like “Meh” in the last pannel to me.
I wonder what a typical Dreamland doctor’s bill reads. Do they use gold coins for currency?
Personally, it seems out of place at night, since the moon is in the sky then. Especially when the ad is a bright and flashy one. During the day time it doesn’t seem as out of place, since there is nothing in the sky and the background is bright.
So weird seeing Nastajia in her regular outfit on the vote incentive after seeing her in her new outfit for months, but it’s such a relief to know that Felicity will be okay, maybe even limp out of bed towards the end of the chapter, ready and willing to follow the gang on their next adventure.
Love the page and the vote incentive, Scott. Both are very touching.
Wonderful interview, as well! Very encouraging!
Clearly they were talking about having lunch, and then going gardening.
awww!!! even nastajia’s starting to cry :’)
In the Nightmare Realm, they use children’s souls as currency. I mean, why else would those pirates steal children!? Peg-legs just don’t pay for themselves, ya know!
(At least, that’s what my friend’s friend’s friend’s friend told me.)
…Now I’m thinking about the exchange rate. Wonderful. XD
And then they’d go flying together.
What else would we be talking about?
Man, Felicity’s screwed-up face looks uglyyyyy… :p
it’s not ugly. It’s a blend of pain, trepidation, and HAN (soul crushing despair despite which there is a glimmer of hope). It’s a thirty-emotion pileup on the Felicity expressway.
Awww. That’s so sweet! Great job!
Maybe Nicole will lighten up and open her mind a bit when she gets a letter from Felicity. She would have to know that Alex couldn’t be smart enough to play this all out. 😛
Let’s take bets.
I’m taking 10 to 1 that Nicole tears up when she gets Felicity’s reply.
OK. Let’s speculate on what Felicity’s response letter will contain. Here’s my guess:
“Dear Nicole,
Come back soon. This time, we’re going for pomegranates!”
Nicole will know it’s Felicity, especially if it uses some idiom or phrase that Alex wouldn’t know.
Dear Nicole,
Miss you! Come back soon! We can visit the un-corns together again!
Felis
YYYYAAAAAYYY!!!! The vote button’s back!! Definitely going to vote as often as possible!! Your comic rocks!!
aww, Nastajia is tearing up! im just waiting for her to say “Oh, Felicity! You’re alright!” and the jump up and hug her while she gets a puzzled look on her face and goes “What the…?”
I really like Felicity’s face in the next to last panel. It looks a bit contorted, which is very realistic and sort of ugly-cute.
Very much an ‘aaaaw’ moment. ^_^
Is it just me or does Staj look like she is off in “dreamland” somewhere. Even tearing up.
muchos LOL
Awww… i love this moment. Reconnecting to a long lost friend.
Felicity must have carries so much guilt all this time
and for it all to be relieved in a single panel, how sweet!
I mean THEN jump up and hug her not THE
At first I was surprised to find Felicity thinks Nicole hates her, but after reading the comments it DOES make sense 🙂
The comments section of this site is one of the biggest factors why I keep checking back here everyday ^^ I enjoy reading everyone her, especially the funny ones!
Actually, i mean the one leading to topwebcomics.
That version is available here:

i don’t know why, but your post made me think of Julianne Moore in the movie role of Felicity.

Just tell them the truth. It’s cancer medicine.
Felicity seems to recover quily because she isn’t mouning anymore.
Alex: Like no waaay! She- like- TOTALLY misses you
Nastajia:I hate valley elf girls…
Kiwi: totally.
