Page 1089…
Hi all…
Again…my apologies for not being around much. We’re still dealing with some health and stress issues.
I have no buffer. So in the event of a page not showing up…please understand I’m doing my best under the circumstances.
On a positive note. We’ve printed out all of the prints ordered and they’re on their way to you.
So far we’ve heard that everyone loves them. So I hope those of you who will be receiving yours soon love them too.
🙂
I got a call from Kristin from Wowio yesterday who told me that they’re getting some more sponsors in.
This is great news as I have several new books I’d love for you to read.
I’ll be adding them very soon.
In the meantime…here’s a the books from yesterday.
Download them for free. Each one you download…Logic Wireless pays us $.25!
And finally…don’t forget to vote!
Sorry this is the first chance I’ve gotten to read again. I had major computer disasters and totally too much to do. But I’m back, and my computer is finally fixed. =D I’m sorry that you have been having stress issues too, Scott. I hope you feel mucho better soon. 🙂 Before I forget, how’s the script and the movie coming? I can’t wait, it’s going to be soooo good! Good Luck!
I like the date, it is perfect and coincides even, I think, with Le Mort de’ Artur, which is a really good book. It also coincides with another Arthurian quartet which is really good. It also matches the cartoon The Quest For Camelot. The Romantic Arthur is the best, and I‘m glad you chose it. It elaborates the perfect qualities of a person. Honor, chivalry, loyalty, kindness, valor, etc.

“He may turn on you!” Dun dun dun, what a wise man you are Merlin. Of course, one version of you ages backwards and so you would know all the stuff of modern times and have the “wisdom of the future.”
And, there are plans? What plans? I’m excited now! Bhata Ilikshi? Interesting!
Also, in case you didn’t get to see it from earlier, it would be super cool if there were two Excaliburs, it would help you make it your own for one. The Lady of the Lake could be from Dreamland and the Sword in the Stone from Earth. And the Sword in the Stone could follow the legend where Uther Pendragon gave Merlin his son’s inheritance and Merlin placed it into stone and anvil so that “Whosoever pulleth out this sword from this stone and anvil is the trueborn King of all Britain.”
Don’t forget to feel better Scott! 🙂
I didn’t mean for it to be so long. Thanks for the awesome comics, like the gray in Arthur’s hair, it works!
Is that… a talisman?
Oh CRAP!
uhoh…it is!
Not only a talisman but THE talisman used earlier in the story to pass notes between worlds. 😉
Bahta ilikshi? It’s got native american ring to it, doesn’t it…
Well, according to Choctaw dictonary, ‘bahta’ means ‘bag’, what does ilikshi mean? There’s ‘ilishi’ which means ‘hair’. But ‘hair bag’ does not really ring a bell here. Hmmm… you lost me ^^
I thought so, but I’m glad someone else caught it so I didn’t have to go back many pages just to make sure. 😀
I like how the armor always looks like you can run up to it, rub your fingers on it, and it’ll make those squeaky plastic noises. XD
Oh, and I’ll be dling those books you posted soon. <3
Wicked! I like where the story is going.
do my eyes deceive me or is the sword’s eye open?!
like it looking at the the item that Arthur is holding. and waiting for nic to do something.
and scott take all the time you need i think we can bear to wait till you get a buffer
What’s up with Arthur’s beard? For some reason it looks kind of weird, like part of it is grey and part of it isn’t…
Well, the intro does say “Many years later…” Arthur is older and his beard is starting to turn gray (or white, as you prefer).
Fantastic! I love older Arthur! He’s seems to have more character now.
Who’s that reflected in his armour? I don’t see her in the second panel.
HANG IN THERE !!!!
I don’t think the reflection is of a ‘her’ unless you think that rock giant from the second panel is female. 🙂
Gah! Prints! I need to check my mail! I’ve been so swamped with finals and preparing to move. *sigh* Mail checking was so much easier before I moved into an apartment…
On a comic related note, older Arthur is awesome! I’m looking forward to what kind of temper tantrum Nic will try to conveniently mask as diplomatic spluttering. *giggles*
On a comic artist related note, take some time if you need to Scott! If a buffer and some time off will help you, please please don’t hesititate to do just that. One of the great things about having a fan base like you do is that we’re LOYAL fans (or at least that’s what it looks like from where I’m sitting). I imagine most (if not all) of us understand that your health is way more important than knowing what happens next, and we’ll keep coming back just to check on you until you’re ready to update the comic again. Take care of first things first.
Please don’t worry!! Although I know it’s kind of like telling an elephant not to be scared of a mouse. ;P We want you to be healthy more than we want to see a page every day. We can wait!
As far as the page… oh boy, the scales are going to start flying soon aren’t they?!!
Get better Scotty! We needs you
Neat crowd scene! See some creatures that we haven’t seen yet.
In the last panel, Arthur’s beard looks a bit strange with the dark lines up his cheeks. Maybe other views will look better. Just my opinion.
I did look again after one of the previous comments about the woman reflected in Arthur’s Armour… And I a still simply amazed on the detail you can get with essentially drafting software and photo shopping the images…
I am sorry to hear you still aren’t 100%. My two cents chicken soup lol that will cure anything or at least my Grandma thought so… Well she did also apply a mustard plaster to your chest as well… I guess you had to get better fast if you didn’t want to be plastered every night with a fowl smelling plaster and having to eat chicken soup for days lol.
On a different note one to smile about Dreamland is #11 @TWC so keep voting people and we can get to #1!!
Hang in there! Take the time you need and get well. Thanks for the great comic =D
As we say in Jamaica ” ‘Tory come to boom”. In other words, things are about to get really interesting.
Finally got to read Book One of PSI-KIX. Downloaded it early last week but I’ve been all over the place since. Really good stuff, Scott. I think for a couple pages, the panels could be reorganized for better reading, but that aside it’s a REALLY fun read. Looking forward to reading Book Two tonight.
Keep up the good work and don’t push yourself too hard. As Julie said, take a break if you need to. Your personal health should always come first and your fans (myself included) will always be here.
Got mine a couple of days ago and they are great!. Now for the expensive bit, springing for professional framing stuff. I can do the work, but since I learned from my father (ugh, a few decades back), he had the tools.
Oh I’ve a feeling Nick is going to kill him for finding the compromise for bringing humans to Dreamland. So Arthur, how many gray hairs do you blame Nick for?
FYI, I just remembered from my stage makeup class that when a person ages, typpically their yebrows start going gray first and their beard last. Just thought I’d let you know. =)
I’m afraid i would have to agree. It does look kind of odd, like he just had a glass of milk
Well im finally feeling better enough after my surgery to start reading again. I went through withdraws. surgery went fine. And i finally got to dl the books from wowio well the ones that i could. The animated panels are very cool and funny, really does add something to the comic. Please get well.
bahta elikshi!
I just wanted to show you this: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bata_Illic . For any non-german-readers: Bata Illic was a popular singer in the 70s in Germany who is still getting ridiculed every now and then 😉
Ha!
That’s great!
Oh. Thank you, Amber.
I hope you’re feeling well after the surgery.
Please take care and get well soon.
ZOMG…Nic is gonna crap a brick.
that is not true. Most males go gray in the beard before they go gray anywhere else.
Cool reflections in the embossed armor!
So THAT’S where the pouch is from. Very cool!! And this could be the “lighting of the fuse” that set Nick off. GET BETTER SOON SCOTT!!!
it’s not just the armor.. everything always looks so plastic to me…. the reflective effect of all the surfaces need to be tweaked quite a bit… or we could just think of their universe as a universe where everything is plastic
I can confirm that personally. My beard started going gray long before any traces showed up in my hair; now I color my beard, but I leave the few streaks of gray in my hair alone (to make me look “distinguished”).
My eyebrows, unlike the rest of my hair, are mostly blond, with no discernible hint of gray. (The rest of my hair, at least the part that isn’t gray, is light brown, with red highlights in the beard, FYI … )
P.S. Don’t forget to VOTE, everyone!
I concur. I have speckles of grey in my beard and hair. None in my eyebrows.
hmm, interesting. I must inform my instructor. Thanks, I wont make that stage make up mistake again. 😀
Oh yeah… ha. I thought the rock arms were flared sleeves or a shawl or something. I was also wondering why she looked so close. 😮
If you remember, the medicine bag that Alex was given by the Orion earlier to take messages back and forth between his brother and Dreamland was called “bahta alikshi”. It’s probably something similar to that.
Arthur: “It is called Bahta Ilikshi. I’m going to put it out on the streets in Camelot. If humans don’t see dreamland after trying this stuff they never will!”
Thus did Nicodemus form the Dragon Enforcement Agency, or DEA.
Wheee! Got mine, too! The print is awesome, and the Nastajia art ia LOVELY! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I just meant that it was a rather strong contrast of colour from the almost pure black on the chin right next to the almost white moustache
Me too: large gray patch in beard; a few gray hairs elsewhere, mostly at my temples.
Also the talisman used to pass notes in class between Alex and Dan???
