Hi all!
We’re at Disney World! I’m sure we’re having a SPECTACULAR time!
Thanks for coming by here M-W-F this week and last while we take this MUCH needed vacation.
It’s been over 2 years since we’ve gone anywhere as a family…and I thank you ALL for helping make that possible.
Your support over the years has been tremendous.
On that note…
I’ve been asked a few times where the DONATE button went. I just couldn’t keep up with the desktops and prints. Not with all of the movie stuff going on.
I know many of you still like to throw money in to support the site every once and a while…but I feel best if I keep it away. If only for now.
BUT…
If you would LIKE to throw some small donations to us while we’re in Disney World…I won’t say no.
It’s HECKAEXPENSIVE here. And I promised the boys we’d go to the Lego Store before we come home. Yikes.
Anyways. For those that like to do these small gestures of good will. Here is a link. Just for this week.
I hope you have a wonderful week. And look for another update Wednesday and Friday.

See, Dan! There you have it! 🙂 And there’s a difference between looking before you leap and making sure that you can’t leap at all because you stay on even ground…
It is funny that Daniel says this, and yet he has always believed that Dreamland actually existed, without ever having seen it. He believed even when there was no evidence for it, and it didn’t make any sense from a rational perspective, and yet now he talks about having to see first. I think it would be better for him to try before Nicole, since at least he has a claim to the throne, but I still look forward to seeing what will happen.
Yes, Dan. Yes, you are.
D-d-d-double Facepalm!
But that’s just it. Dan doesn’t dream. He doesn’t have a memory of someone in Dreamland that is safe and loving. He has belief, but no personal experience that tells him it’s safe.
OMG someone stole both of his thumbs!!
Yes we know they are just tucked in but still it does look funny. 😛
Oh, and how I’d love to see Alex and Nicole chorus that!
What’s there to look anyway? :s
Not to be offensive, but panel 3 is an example of how the designers made the hands of the characters too large. It’s been the same with Alex’ hands on a few occasions where they just seemed too big compared to his head/face.
I would say that’s just part of the art style. Personally I have nothing against it, but I can see how it can bother someone else. 🙂
Yes, Dan. Yes you are.
I don’t think belief in Dreamland is the problem. Rather, it’s that this is magic. A process they know nothing about. It works for Alex; how can they be sure it works for anyone else, or works the way they want, or won’t go horribly wrong? Nichole being stranded between worlds like Arthur, and the Sword lost, would NOT be a good thing. Dan wants some assurance that this won’t result in disaster before anyone tries it; the problem is, he can’t get that…
isn’t dan older than alex? wouldn’t he prevented from going to dreamland by the spell? go for it nicole just watch out for falling dragons. lol
At this point, I think everyone else eligible for that position has forfeited their right to it.
What about a compromise? Alex falls asleep, asks the sword if any other human could come, sword gives its answer, Alex wakes up and informs them of it. If its good to go, Nicole wears the necklace. If not, well, no danger, no damage.
I hope you and your family are enjoying your time in my hometown! Have fun and relax.
You’d think Dan himself would have come up with that a looooooooong time ago. 😛
Is it just me or is her face really… blotchy/pixelated in the second panel?
Jeez, Nicole…way to rub it in that Dan can’t go to Dreamland. :p
Is it just me, or does it seem ironic that he says that at all? The guy who wrote a book that was dictated to him by his brother about a world that to him may or may not in fact exist in the first place? The guy who was gung ho for his brother to put him self in a form of coma just to prove that it might exist to Nicole? Now he wants people to look before they leap? Who replaced Dan’s common sense in regards to Dreamland? They need to be sacked for being so slow about it.
They are fraternal twins. Born at the close to the same time, but looking quite different from each other despite having the same parents.
Awesome. I totally saw it coming!
I wonder what Dan frrls he knows about the process of getting to dreamland?
Ah, but Dan… Even if you board a plane to fly to Europe, there’s always a risk…
In the real world with a real camera take pictures of someone from 4 or 5 feet away. If you are sitting on the floor and (s)he is sitting on a chair the knees will often be wider than the waist. If (s)he reaches out and gives you a thumbs up and also sticks out his/her tongue the thumb will look wider than the tongue and is some cases wider than the entire mouth.
I remember a scene from apollo 13. The astronaut sticks his thumb up to the window and covers earth. Thumb close by, earth far away.
The lens in your eye does that too. Your brain corrects for the effect. Depth perception is a major reason animals evolve two or more eyes.
Dan’s hand look awkward.
lol love the face plant. i think dan’s response to nicole should be…
” of course i would, you twit! but as you can see cos of a dumb spell i can not get there.!”
Yes, Dan, yes you are.
Dan, forget the consequences! Adventure awaits :D!
Put it on a napping cat and see if it wakes up okay?
What makes you think the sword will know?
I agree with Dan on not rushing… the war may not be won yet, the wraiths and who knows what else may be plotting revenge and are able to spy on both worlds.
They should be asking questions and watching first, Nicole has waited years, she can wait at least a few more days.
“Adventure Time~! C’mon, grab your friends…”
But with the war raging on, will Felicity last a few more days?
war-time, life-threatening adventure
A real life story of twins: born and died on the same day!

Actually, you’ve been LOOKING since you were a child. What more is it you expect to see?
What makes you think that Alex hasn’t already done that? I suspect he has.
Wednesday’s page is almost done. Will upload shortly.
What? You’re working while at Disney World? How long have we got until you get hit with a giant mallet?
I agree. I’d rather wait till Monday then have you working at Disney World.
I’m back. Just having trouble getting the page done with everything else that piled up over the last week.
Welcome back, then! We hope that you and your family enjoyed it thoroughly, and thank you for still having a few updates for us anyway.
Putting it on a cat to test doesn’t really solve the loss of the sword if it gets stranded between dimensions.
Daniel: “Am I the only one here that looks before they leap?”
Alex: “For the last time, I didn’t leap, I was pushed off of one cliff and yanked off another!”
Captain Jack Sparrow: No mate…I don’t get that urge to jump either
Oh no. She looks before she leaps, but only to document what she is about to leap into…
FOR SCIENCE!
