WOW!
That’s all I feel that I can say.
WOW!
In less than 24 hours…you all chipped in and donated enough money for TWO new computers!
I’m floored. Stunned. Stupified. And even a bit dumbfounded.
Thank you.
I’ll keep the donation link here…
And here’s the latest on our progress….
I’ll update throughout the day.
The first computer has been ordered.
Unfortunately…the computer I was getting (see yesterday’s page for the link) suddenly went “OUT OF STOCK” around mid-day.
I contacted customer service and they said it might go back up at some point.
If not…I’d have to find a similar deal (though honestly…that was a GREAT deal).
So we’ll see.
Thank you again for your generosity. For supporting this comic over the last 6 years. And for being a part of our family.

TWO! Two upgraded computers! Ah ah ah…
[/CountVonCount]
I wish I could donate, but the ‘jobless sys admin’ thing keeps popping up it’s head. If you need any help speccing out the new hardware, I believe you have the number. Amazing what is freeware these days.
That’s abeautiful render of Nastajia in panel 1!
Everybody chipping in like this is really great! Of course, you’ve been updating this wonderful comic for all this time that we get to read for free, so don’t feel guilty ^^ You’ve earned it!
TWC news. #7 with 9,026 votes, #6 having 9,724. We’re definitely getting closer. And just in case you haven’t yet voted today, you might want to vote now.
Also, take a look at that ‘Donate’ button. Shiny, er? Unleash your selfishness. You do want new pages right on schedule. You do want better graphics. I know you do. Now there is a way.
(All those links around the page that must not be mentioned shall remain unmentioned. Rules are rules.)
Couldn’t she have done this without the condescending lecture? I can’t wait for the gang to escape from this scaly witch.
Is that a flying carpet I see in the last panel?
“Give me some tassle!” :=}
What good would a flying carpet be? They can all fly. 🙂
Actually, if I remember the backhistory correctly, only Alex can fly but he can bring his friends along with him while doing so. I could be wrong, age does strange things to the brain, but that’s what I remember…
You shouldn’t be surprise, we love you, man. You have great fans.
They also have a flying ship.
LOVE!
Meh….the older the person, the longer the lecture. Just be glad she didn’t pull out a cane and yell at them to “get off my lawn!” 😛
Nice reference! 🙂
We’ve reached our second goal!
As soon as I can (once we can order another computer on the Costco site) I will order the second computer.
Thank you all so much!
Also, LOVE!
More like ‘Get off my abyssal plain!’
They list the same machine (but with a monitor, 24″ LCD) for $200 more:

Might check it out as well, especially if you need a new monitor or two!
Ok pardon the pun but anyone else smell something fishy here?
Niviene in my opinion, seems just a little too ready to toss Alex right out of Dreamland; all in the name of allowing the ‘true king’ to return of course. Looking at this from a strategic view this is what I see: Alex has proven himself, he has fought beside dreamland’s people and won their loyalty, Dan, for all the help he provided, has not. Alex fought Nic one on one for the right to the throne (even though yes he did have some help) that action won a LOT of respect from the population and that respect is, as I see it key to his eventual success overall. If Dan were to come in and claim the crown, yes they would acknowledge his as rightful king but would they have the same kind of loyalty to him? I say no, at least not at first, fighting side by side dose something to people that nothing else can quite accomplish; this could then open a vulnerability to another attack by Nic or the nightmare realm (or both). Could just by my years of playing D&D sprouting good old fashioned PC paranoia but I for one dose not trust the fish.
The computer came available again!
Just ordered Computer number 2!!!!!

Congrats! (Aaaaand it’s out of stock again. It _must_ be a good deal! 🙂
If there was a “Like” button for this, I would click it. 😀
FAN ART IDEA!!!
Just sayin’.
I love how Nastajia slipped back to be with Alex. She clearly doesn’t want to leave him. I PRAY the two get some alone time to discuss what Niviene said.
I’m thinking three jaws may have just hit the ocean floor. This is sounding way too easy. Smelling a trap, anyone? Stay sharp, Alex.
I did see that. Thanks.
Was my backup plan.
🙂
Updated the graph above.
Should say $2,465.
If not…refresh.
And thank you all again!
I don’t like this. Why is Alex staying silent and not standing his ground to Niviene?
Because he’s thinking…and for Alex, that’s hard. 😛
Because she’s kind of right? I mean, sucks, but… that whole “security of several hundred thousand dreamland citizens” thing kind of comes before “I am in love with an elf chick.”
Yeah. I’m sort of expecting something like,
Alex. Aren’t you afraid the Nightmare Realm’s going to find out about this little cave and bring it down?
Niviene. That’s always been a danger looming like a shadow over everything I’ve done here. But things have developed that will insure security. I’ve just made a deal that will keep the Nightmare Realm out of here forever. (Opens a door.)
(Red letters on yellow.) We would be honoured if you would join us.
She be right, really? I rather be not so sure ’bout that.
“for the greater good” has, quite often, led to many a load of wars and misdeeds.
But be it as is I reckon Scott has something up his sleeve to resolve this “twist”.
Really Pre-built Scott!?!??!?!?!? you should have just gotten parts it would have been cheaper and better.
Being married to a painter… I’d say pre-built have their advantages.
You’re not the only one seeing it. I haven’t liked Niviene since the second or third page she was on. She reeks of scheming and jealousy.
I’m with Julie. He’s thinking. Although panel 1 makes it clear he’s not real happy. Once he and his friends are out of Niviene’s reach I’d like to see what he has been thinking. But until he gets the information he’s looking for, he’s just gonna swallow his tongue.
Am I the only one who really likes Niviene? I guess so.
And: does that mean, we are finally going to find out what the others saw in that flying ship of theirs some dozen pages back? http://thedreamlandchronicles.com/the-dreamland-chronicles/chapter-17/page-1408/
Nope. Some of us are with you.
The first stage of love (infatuation): The beloved is perfect, and can do no wrong.
The second stage of love (disillusionment): The beloved’s faults are terrible!
The third stage of love (persistence): The beloved’s faults are part of why I love them, even though it’s not always easy.
Yeah, that shadow (in #1408) DOES look a lot like Nicodemus. And he couldn’t have turned that well without powerful magic.
gotta say i used to liek the lady of the lake till she became a stone cold heartless B**** to alexander wow she needs to take a sedative and stop being so damn B*****.
It’s not that I don’t like her as stated above I don’t trust her; there is a difference. If I’m wrong and she’s on the level so be it but my PC sense is tingling and I think she’s up to something.
Nice, very nice 🙂
Am I the only one who thinks Felicity knows something about Seraphopolis?
I have a feeling ignoring her last comment could come back to bite them later.
Nope! 🙂 I’m a fan of hers! I just hope that I’m right and all of these doubters/Niviene haters are wrong.
Nah…it’s just that she, Paddington, and what’s her name were searching for the place before she got pulled down under water to see Nicole. 🙂
Kiwi! How dare you forget about her :p
Still watching and waiting for these old machines to finish Monday’s page.
http://instagr.am/p/Jv0AZPPzrm/
Hopefully it’ll be done by morning.
Thankfully you guys were so kind to help me upgrade!
Thank you again.
I can barely remember my own name before 10 am. I’m proud of myself for getting Paddington’s name right. 😛
My guess: the “large bird” at http://thedreamlandchronicles.com/the-dreamland-chronicles/chapter-17/page-1408/ was a Seraphopolis inhabitant, i.e. a “guardian”, scouting for unwanted visitors.
I also guess Felicity tried to approach it with the pirate ship and knows something more
One last bit still rendering.
Maybe another hour or so.
