Page 1429…
Thank you all for your overwhelming response to the SOPA question.
It looks like I’ll upload a “blacked out” page tomorrow to take part in the “blackout Wednesday” in protest to SOPA.
Again. I would NEVER get political with this site. It’s for All Ages.
And it’s a story and place where everything is fantastical. magical.
But… this seems important enough. And you all seem so very much behind me doing this.
I look forward to putting a new page up on Thursday.
Thank you.
Scott
See you on Thursday, Scott.
Waittaminute!! If this pool can be found, then Nicole and Felicity could try using it to ,at least, directly talk with eachother, be it that Felicity would have a fish tail….
Yes, I admit the Felicity/Nicole thing still bothers me…..
On SOPA: See You on Thursday.
Not just political, it’s much broader than that, It’s a societal issue, as in “what kind of world would we want”
Opposition to SOPA has backing from both sides of the political spectrum – and also support. SOPA may be a political issue, but it isn’t a partisan one. And it affects you directly.
I have the same deep aversion that you do, to dragging a comics site down the the stupidity level of politics. I don’t think that’s a problem here.
See you on Thursday also Scott! May you NEVER enter politics!;)
It all is about our freedom and SOPA and PIPA are serious intents to cut freedom, so we definately need to fight against it! See you on Thursday.
See you Thursday dude. 😉
By the way, seeing that Julie was right about the Dreamland portal being a viewing portal only, I’m even more curious to find out how Merlin managed to pass that staff on to Niviene.
Great expressions on Merlin as well, at a glance I could easily be looking at a frame from a Dreamworks film in that third panel, really!
It doesn’t have to be this particular lake. If Niviene still can use her magical pool, any body of water could be a window between Dreamland and Earth, and Felicity and Nichole meet face to face. Assuming she allows it.
But it might get better. According to Arthurian legend, Niviene was a physical presence in Camelot. She and Merlin might have find a way for her to leave the lake, grow legs, and walk the Earth. Or not; legend might not be accurate. We’ll have to see.
That may be the first time I’ve ever been quoted as getting something right about any of the comics I read. 🙂 I will remember this moment for a long time. Thanks A.C.! 🙂
As for the viewing portal thing…I actually have wondered if she and Merlin didn’t work to alter that aspect of the portal. Or maybe it’s different from her side than it is from his. My thoughts were spurred not by the staff (which is a good catch btw! I missed that), but by the legends about the Lady of the Lake. In those legends, at a minimum her hand breaks the surface of the water and gifts Excalibur to Merlin/Arthur/Uthur/whoever. Then again, I’m also wondering when she shifts from sleeveless-strapless top to “shimmering samite” top. 😛
I absolutely LOVE how her hair is not the same from panel to panel, but moves with the water. Little details like that make a big difference. 🙂
Oh…and I finally got all of my book orders! I can haz Book Five!!! 😀
The lake in the 1st pic seems “elevated”, like “ascending” from were Merlin is standing.
I don’t know… maybe my eyes playing games…
Concerning the “black out” issue:
I agree with your move because I support the freedom of speech and the free circulstion of ideas.
It is what one of the cornerstones of the so called “western civilization” as we know after the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.
One curious thing: in greek language “SOPA” means “shut up” or “stop talking” and “PIPA” ehm..well it is hard to write about sexual actions in an internet site hosting a story for all ages!
I just see it a very peculiar coincidence…
The lake’s not moving up, the grass moved down! (On previous pages, one can see that there is a portion of dirt without grass, along the edge of the lake, whereas there is no such border, this time.)
Having said that, I am also amazed that Merlin has not fallen in the lake, yet, as the angle seen on previous pages is rather steep… (It doesn’t look quite as steep, today…)
I don’t see the blackout as political, just trying to protect the Net as we know it.
Ah hah! Merlin’s first inkling of Dreamland. Fascinating!
Scott, please remember to make your page tomorrow reference both SOPA and PIPA.
Interesting. So this is how Merlin first became aware of Dreamland.
I wonder how his staff ended up in Dreamland?
He dropped it?
I think jay’s referring to niviene’s pool that she used to look, not the lake on earth.
SOPA isn’t going to go away – the House Judiciary Chair Lamar Smith intends to move ahead with it next month. And PIPA will probably be waiting for it in the Senate.
Lots of big players have paid good money for this, and they want what they paid for!
Constant vigilance!
a quick heads up on the blackout to save some hassle afterwards: http://www.stateofsearch.com/participating-in-the-sopa-black-out-dont-forget-to-seo/ I’m glad to see you are taking a stand and though I work in tech support and am not exactly looking forward to all the calls I’m about to get… I would do the same for any webpages I had (if they got any kind of traffic).
Um, did something happen to the Top Webcomics vote link? I can’t seem to find it now.
