And…snap Dan back to reality. Sigh.
Dan’s a good brother. He knows (unlike HIS brother) when to stop thinking of himself and focus on something more important.
🙂
Thank you all for reading. And apparently…the school Alex, Dan, and Nicole attend is now called Donnabrook University?
Cool.
Thank you all.
Scott
so, would, in this case, it be called a reality check?
Scott,
You’re very welcome. Thanks for the continuing great work!
Another case in point. Alex could have started with “Dan, you are now in danger” to snap Dan out of his anger via self-preservation. But instead, Dan is shown to be a good brother and person by changing his attitude so quickly when told of Nastajia’s peril (and Alex’s pain as a result).
oh, and scott, you forgot a vote link 😛
Boom! I wish I had a brother like Dan, wahaha, instead of an egotistical cousin that constantly bashes your head against walls. =)
Under Alex’s special abilities on the wiki, there should be some pokes at him methinks. “Ability to breathe unassisted, can tie his own shoes, house-trained.”
lol Brent xD that gave me the first laugh of the morning*giggle*
And yep no vote link>< eepers
You should really fix Dan’s hair, he looks like a devil with it!
So does this mean They’ve all gotten themselves ‘ into a donnybrook?
Thanks for reminding me <3 I do rely on that link.
Alex, SO doesn’t get what goes on around him…
Poor Dan.
i really like dan’s naturally tousled hair, it’s one of his few really cute features!
just my two cents: but donnabrook? not so subtle. i admire your desire to honor your wife, make her feel loved and appreciated. more men should be like that. but…donnabrook doesn’t sound real, doesn’t sound like something we can identify with as joe-typical-college, which i think is what you’re going for here – and if it’s made into a movie for sure. rather it shouts out as something that does not belong. what about her maiden name – can that fit into a university name and still sound like a real university? if not, then maybe there should be a donna character at some point.
good question XD as for the vote link, I put it on my bookmarks so I could vote as often as I can 😀
I think in Alex’s case, that check just bounced.
Dan: “What do you mean, worse? Do you mean worse than me not getting any tonight?”
The name was actually picked by some of the fans for the wiki, Scott just gave us permission to name it. The university could be named after a brook that passes through it’s grounds named after some other Donna 150 years ago. Harvard and Yale are both named after people. After enough time it doesn’t matter what they were named after, they just are.
Well I agree.
And honestly…I don’t think I have any plans of naming the school in the book.
But for the wiki. Right now it’s fine.
In Donnabrook, yes. Into A Donnabrook, no. Dan’s working on a Nicole, and Alex is working on a Nastajia.
Here ya go: http://topwebcomics.com/vote/4274/default.aspx

Alex: “Nic decided to make ‘do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup’ quite literal,”
hm, actually, i think donnabrook sounds very believable. it incorporates name and even nature… makes me think of stony brook university on long island, except with a medieval (donna – madonna) twist.
anyway, aw. i really do want to give alex a hug now. and dan too, since he’s not getting any… hehe. i love how these two balance one another.
Part of me is glad that we can only see this chapter right now one page at a time on the web. Honestly, if I had the book first, I’d be skimming ahead to check on Nastjia. So please tell me we’ll be checking up on her before April 30th?
I think Donnabrook is a wonderful name for a college. I have a fondness for symbolism and allegory!
Next week we return to Dreamland.
Well, I don’t know… hasn’t Alex grown a little, at least, to do the same? I’m not saying he’s fully mature, mind you, but at least enough to get his mind organized and towards what’s important.
My offering would be: is depriving a village somewhere of its own idiot.
Alex: “Exactly! Nicodemus decided to change his plans: now he’s going to force Nastajia to marry him, in order to try to legitimize his hold on the throne!”
(I know, I know, that wouldn’t work, since the king is still supposed to be human, so how can marrying an elf make a difference… it’s just that that was the first thing that popped in my mind, when considering ‘what could be worse’…)
Since checking earlier pages’ comments is not as easy here as in the forum (and I’m a bit lazy), I take a risk by asking this question straight out:
I just came to think about the “injuries carries over into the real world” thing.
I can currently see no scorch marks on Alex, and when he woke up, he was quite exhausted, or even sliding into unconsciousness. What happened with that?
SWEET! THANK YOU!
Oohh, I hadn’t noticed – the FORUM link is back! 😀
YAY!
Oh, ouch, I can feel Alex’s pain in the last panel! His expression is AMAZINGLY heart-wrenching! :'( Nice job!!! 😀
Well…’prisoner of Nicodemus worse’ is just a little bit nastier than ‘plain old danger worse.’ xP Or possibly dead, but that wouldn’t fall in line with the fact that this is a family-friendly story. : ) Either way, Nastajia is screwed. )=
Just wanted to let you know that I adore your webcomic and have long been wanting to buy a book. 😀 But the first book’s out of stock. )=
And crap, apparently my avatar is evil. 😛
Or not. o.o;; Sorry for all the posts. That’s weird. ^^
The armor protected him from actually getting burned he was just on fire. I think it functions as well as a stunt fire suit in that way although I’m not sure. Exhaustion must not carry back and forth because if it did he wouldn’t be able to keep functioning after a few nights in Dreamland without a night off.
dan: what do you mean worse? worse then rudely interpreting my date?!
lol XD
So called it. Dan gots his priorities straight. Well, straight-ER anyway
I agree, it’s so real.
Reality, huh? Does Dreamland count as reality now?
Dan, meet reality in Dreamland.
[Smoky the Bear Voice]
“Hi.
I’m reality in Dreamland.
I’m about to walk into your life and knock you out cold. Hope you have your backpack ready, ’cause it’ll be a FUUUUN ride!!!”
This is… nice way of twisting the plot Scott. You truly know how to play with a guy’s brain, you know…
poor Alex. I’m telling you, those boys WILL need a relaxing trip to the sea or whtvr when they end their midterms… which, by the way, will we ever see some of the academic stuff related to the story?
😀 ((and nice to see you have so many fans voting for ya. Good work Mate! XD))
That was going to be my comment too. I love the expression you gave him.
From what I’ve observed, if you don’t have a Gravatar (highly recommended, by the way), the system automagically assigns you two random avatars – one for daytime, and one for nighttime.
