Page 1325…
Hi all!
Only 6 more pages until the end of this chapter.
I’m working on Chapter 17 now.
Tomorrow (hopefully) or Monday…I’m going to post the Kickstarter page for the pre-ordering of Book Five.
I’ll try to post lots of “making ofs” in between chapters.
Anyone who’d like to do guest pages or pin-ups…let me know. I may have some free days.
Scott
Marriage proposal?
“Do you need a queen?”
I think everyone predicts the same thing I do… Marriage discussion?
That will be difficult…
And they all live happily ever after. Accept the bad guys. cuz they suck
Big talk comin.
Staj: “In my long experiences with humans visiting our world, I’ve heard this term called ‘making out’. What does that mean?”
Alex: *Thinks to himself* “Glad I took those sleeping pills before I left.”
“What the Hell Did You Just Call Me?”
She doesn’t look too thrilled about her nickname
“I… I would like to ask a question.”
“Sure, Staj. Anything.”
“… Is Daniel SINGLE?”
Ok, is it just me or is there something messed up with her left eye in the last panel? One eye is looking forward while the left eye is looking at alex, or am I the only one?
Uh-Oh π― “The question ???
Now there’s a nice little problem. If married in Dreamland, would getting drunk, meet a cute student, and act upon that (that’s what a lot of students do. ‘S part of “student-life” at least, it was where I studied) in “realland” be cheating???…. π
Hmm..yes. It looks as if the left corner of her left eye ended up wrong. To much protruding under eye-lid going on it seems.. Somehow the glassy bit of the eye-ball is not visible enough I guess.
Didn’t notice that at first. I was intrigued & impressed by the sudden beautiful realism in Staj’s Nose and mouth-textures in the last panel.
Aahahahahaa
Cute student: Hey Alex. I was wondering…would you want to maybe grab a cup of coffee some time?
Alex: Oh, I appreciate the offer but I’m seeing someone.
Cute student: Oh really? Who? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you with another girl before.
Alex: Well, she’s this beautiful elf princess with luxurious purple hair and we go on many adventures together…
Alex: “Oh, yes, i forgot a tiiiny detail..ehrm I am married to that elf princess too..eheh..
Cute Student: π― π― π― EEEEEEEEK Crazy RPG guy… *starts running*
Orrr : “I…I would like to ask a question.’
Sure, Staj, anything
“Ehrrm..do Youn find it disturbing to know that seeing You almost gutted and bravely fighting on, made me ehhhrm..”somewhat sweaty..”
Alex: eeeep…
Poor Alex, all smiles and grins, can’t see a serious conversation getting ready to broadside him from a mile away. π
“Ummmm so back on Earth is there ummmm any ummm you know ummmm girl that you ummm well might maybe ummm go out with on occasion?”
Oh boy. Here we go.
“is it really you… or are you Nicole?”
ROFLOL FOOL!
Any self respecting medieval king has a harem so I don’t see this as an issue. The two planes of reality even makes it easier to “deal with” ^^
Is she really gonna pop the question? π
What could make her so nervous, the woman with bravery, steel nerves?
I so pray that Nastajia isn’t distracted by the hated nickname and says what she wants to ask tomorrow, or at least give a hint. Too many options and even more options as to how Alex will handle it. How ironic that this may give me a clue to the adult question *I* want to ask.
Tomorrow’s page: “Alexβ¦ do YOU, like Casserole!?!”
Ahem, sorry again Scott, I promise that’s the last time I make a casserole joke! O_O
And thanks for the positive feedback on my silly edit yesterday. π
I would think that one thing on the top of her priority list is finding her parents. Maybe THE one thing…that’s what started all this in the first place. Depose Nicodemus, find her parents. I’m hoping her question revolves around that rather than marriage plans!
Uh-oh, she’s looking pensive and stammering a bit. This is going to be heavy. I hope Alex can surprise us by dealing with it well.
(What is up with her hair? In this strip and previous ones it keeps moving from the back to the front. It looks good hanging down over her shoulders, but is there a breeze blowing from behind them moving it around? Or does her hair move on its own?)
Wow…I didn’t notice it at first either, but I see what you mean.
I smell a cliffhanger tomorrow.
My bet is:
Nastajia: “Alex, are you now ready to live a serious life and assume your role as King of Dreamland?”
Alex: “eeppp.”
Nancy agrees.
Oh boy. And what lively comments. Love this comic! =)
While I understand why so many people feel like this is going to lead to a marriage talk, I have to wonder if it will be a bit more than that. I mean, Nastajia has to know that Alex hasn’t been comfortable with the idea of being king…and also know that he thinks his brother is more qualified. In her shoes, I’d be more inclined to ask Alex if he intended to stay king or if he planned to abdicate in favor of his brother (or even another human)…especially knowing that he can give up the sword now. I’d also not want him being a king just to be with me. That couldn’t possibly be in the best interests of the people.
*shrugs* We’ll see tomorrow I guess. π
i say she pops the question. my question to scott is can they have children? why does my mind turn a PG comic to R???? or worse extremely adult.
I have to agree with those that think this is a discussion regarding Alex’s role as King and his readiness to fill that position. Marriage is much too big a leap here. They’ve barely established a relationship and Alex remaining in Dreamland is too much in doubt. Nastajia is much too practical to jump into romantic fancy with so much going on politically.
Her eye is correct; it’s just that her hair is covering most of it. I think we’re seeing her iris from the side like her other eye (like in Panel 1), but since most of it is covered, our brains fill in the whole iris and makes it look off.
She doesn’t look nervous to me.
Uh-oh.
Here is th.e right time to listen to the advice of the classic heros’ mentors/teachers from film.
“Fly, you fool!” — Gandalf the Gray
“Run, Luke! Run!” — Obi-wan Kenobi
I’m putting my money on:
βIβ¦I would like to ask a question.β
Sure, Staj, anything
“Don’t. Call. Me. Staj!!!”
*kicked over balcony edge*
π
“Sure Staj. Anything.”
“What the heck is a movie?”
“Can they have children” is still innocently PG. Though it does tempt an answer that crosses into “R” territory; but I don’t think Scott’s the kind of person to do that.
That’s what sequels are for!
I’m pretty sure we can count on Dan to keep him sober, much to Alex’s chargin
If you’re going to go that route, why not have her ask what a movie is?
Or if she could ask
“Alexander, how do you feel about becoming a father?”
“Aaasaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!”
also: “It’s a trap!”
I’m in the group of those who think it has something to do with her parents.
“do you think my parents are still alive? Will you help me find them?”
I think she is going to ask “Do you like felicity?”
Maybe the question will be..
“What is your favorite color?”
“Blue. No yel..”
*** PUNT! ****
“AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh…….”
….

Haha out of all the other guesses, this one really made me laugh π
Thanks. Just had to get in that obligatory “Holy Grail” reference in every day! π
Or the Hitchhiker’s Guide on the subject: “avoid at all costs.”
