Sorry for the slight delay this morning. Had to re-render the 4th panel because the reflection of mom needed to be just in between Alex and Dan.
Took some tweaking to get it right.
🙂
Also…I painted Miracle Max this weekend.
By the way. You should be able to click the image above (MOM!) to see it larger.
(Sorry. My mom said “the pictures looked nice. But they were so small on the screen. I couldn’t really tell”)
Have a great Monday, All!
Scott
First! Wooo!
Great panels. Totally see the usual “mom” reaction to one of their children getting a boyfriend or girlfriend. (my mom did the same…)
I really look forward to the next panels. 😀
Ahhh…family…a constant form of embarrassment. 😀
Such a total classic Mom Moment
It says something about Daniel – and Mrs. Carver – that she regards him having a girlfriend as news that has to be immediately shared.
If she knew who ALEX has as a girlfriend, though… O_O
and the gravevine explodes with new gossip….
Mrs. CARTER, it!
Oh, for an EDIT function… 🙁
I was starting to wonder if Mrs Carter was a single Mom… do we ever meet their Dad?
LOL ditto!
Oh my goodness.
I think I’ve finally figured out what the Big Reveal will be.
Alex and Dan’s father will be …..
Elvis.
That’s right, readers. Our protagonists are zombie children.
🙂
That fourth panel must have been either great fun to create or a bad mutha-
Hush your mouth!
Maybe Alex and Dan’s father will be someone looks like…:
1. Arthur
2. Merlin
3. …Our missed old Nic..???
I was just about to post the exact same thoughts, and then I read your post….I guess my response should have been ‘ditto’.
Like Jakesdad, my mind races at the possibilities of Alex and Daniel’s father…
Betting their Dad looks like Arthur. It would make sense, if Dreamland kingship is hereditary like 99% of the monarchies on Earth.
If I remember correctly, it’s not that hereditary. King Solomon and King Arthur are the two kings we know of by name–and they are not related. Other than that, it’s anyone’s guess. Cleopatra? Julius Caesar? I’m thinking it’s more who on Earth is or will be a strong king who gets chosen.
I just got a vision of Nick coming to Alex and saying, “I am your Father”
Nic mentioned Caesar as a king, something about showing him how ruthless humans could be. And Nic paraphrases a quote from Isaiah when he’s dragging Alex into the water with him, so maybe he was a king?
Hoo boy! Do you think Mom is really ready for “everything”? =)
“It’d take a miracle.” Sorry, couldn’t resist. =)
We haven’t met their father, but he has been mentioned before. In fact, when they first got home, he is mentioned as helping bring in the last of their stuff, and people speculated then if there was a reason he wasn’t being shown, and what he might look like. Now, the more times he is referenced without being shown, the more the speculation will grow.
I think Scott should make him like (for anyone who grew up in the 70s) Carlton the Doorman on the TV show Rhoda. He was mentioned, she talked to him over the intercom, but no one ever saw him.
Or, he could be like (again, the 70s version) Charlie in Charlie’s Angels. We saw his back, but never his face. I don’t remember if the audience saw him in the movie versions, and I never bothered to watch the new TV version, so I can’t say if he was seen on it.
Too bad Mother wasn’t established as being a Princess Bride fan. It would’ve been very appropriate for her to shout as she was shout after them, “Have fun storming the castle.” The irony being, that she wouldn’t know Alex already had — stormed it, that is — well, and probably had fun doing it, too.

If Alex and Dan’s father appears,who should he resemble?
Captain Harlock (anime character)?
Bruce Wayne (ala Bruce Timm style?)
An older version of Alex or King Aurthur?
Who???????
Okay. “Father-Mystery” revealed…
Seriously, though…
I never had “the dad” because in most ways…that’s me.
And who want’s to see some scruffy bald guy walking around in Dreamland…sheesh.
Scott you are all of their fathers… so you are a scruffy bald guy… Bald is beautiful (or so I have been told… I wouldn’t know I have a head full of thick curly tangles). So yes Draw yourself in let us see you as you want to be lol in dreamland…
Mothers being happy that their son has a girlfriend is as typical as,
..father’s being UNHAPPY that their daughter has a boyfriend. ^_^
And on a completely different note, I’ve decided to change the family’s last name to “Pendragon.”
Don’t read anything into it, though. 😉
Hi Scott, the flare on Mum’s glasses was a lovely conceit the first time, OK the second, but WAY too much this time. She looks like her glasses have a cataract! Subtlety is good.
Am liking the story telling again at the moment. Back a bit with the big battles the storytelling got a bit dodgy, compared to the wonderful visuals.
Personally, I think it works just fine. It matches the light coming in quite well.
Isn’t that part of the job description of being a family member?
Darn render. See you in the morning for Tuesday’s page.
Around 9am CST.
Sorry again, guys.
It happens. Look on the bright side, it’s going to be a warm (for February), mostly sunny, and windy day. Take the kids out and fly a kite or something. Play with the dog…or, if you are like me, the neighbor’s dog (they thank me for wearing her out). 😀
That’s what I been thinking. Maybe at the end of the story you will reveal yourself.
In that fifth panel, I can just hear her think:
“My boy is all grown up!”
This lack of a father is becoming suspiciously consistent. I wonder if he will play some role later on. Perhaps he was childhood friends with one or both of Nastajia’s parents back when they were younger and might have some information that could help Alex and Nastajia find them…
I think so. I have 9 of them!
