Page 796…
Hey all…
Well…another day. Another page done.
🙂
Not much more to say today. Still dealing with headaches…I’m taking Tylonol. No side effects (like I had with the Excedrine…if that WAS a side effect).
Hopefully it’s nothing serious and I’ll be better tomorrow. Fortunately I’m still able to keep working.
Â
Thanks for keeping me in good sprits and thanks for reading.
You guys are wonderful.
Scott
Glad you’re in good spirits, despite whatever you’ve been overcome with. Take your time on the new pages.
Another page that’s frustrating – because now I have to wait to see where it leads!
Glad you’re starting to feel better Scott – now we can hope Alex can give Felicity what she needs to make her own recovery.
Hmmm. Any chance you’re getting some kind of artistic/psychic feedback from Felicity and her injuries?
Let’s see… Alex is taking a nap, so we know he won’t be here long… I’m betting he’ll report back to Nicole about this. I’m wondering if he’s going to tell Felicity that he knows Nicole.
i think somehow in one way or another he’s going to metion nicole.. just somehow… i don’t know how.. but he will… i think…
Reminds me of Star Wars, when Padme is dying. O.o
You may want to hit up a doctor… Bad headaches, when you don’t have a history of them, are a sign of an oncoming aneurysm… Can’t hurt to go. Worst case scenario, you get some Rx meds to help.
Don’t lose the will to live, Scott! Hee hee, sorry, I couldn’t resist. Take care of yourself. Hope you feel better soon.
As much as I want to keep reading the story, I hope you take some time off for the holidays. You’ve definitely earned it!
I predict that Alex won’t mention Nicole until he’s able to talk Felicity into wanting to live again.
Why is every other word emphasised? 😛 Do you speak like that? I’d be interested in hearing it. 😉
I really like the present development. Is Alex going to mention Nicole? I hope he does.
I think, somehow, Nicole is going to be the catalyst for Felicity wanting to live again, either by Alex telling Fel about Nic, or (more likely) getting some inside info about Fel from Nic. Maybe some combination of the two.
or maybe they get nicole into dreamland.
(i’m not loosing hope on that one)
Why would she not wish to live? I think we missed a page or something. -totally confuzzled-
ShadowCat, she probably feels terrible about working for Nicodemus (which is also why she rather-suicidally attacked him to start with…)
Even if Nicole didn’t remember Felicity by name (or subconsciously pretended not to), I would bet Felicity will perk right up if Nicole is mentioned. We know she remembers and misses her after all.
As for Excedrin vs. Tylenol… they both have acetaminophen so that can’t be it. Excedrin also has aspirin and some caffeine (Scott, any sensitivities there?) so otherwise they’re the same.
Regardless, hope you’re on the mend soon!
you should visit your local doctor and quiz them up about the sudden headaches. They could test you to see if you’re allergic to excedrin.
If it’s not that, it could be something else going on, so go get yourself checked out!
I don’t want to be “that guy” – but does the centaur have two tails? (panel 2)
come on alex Do what Obi-wan should have done, give her the will to live give her a reason to live
@Nonnie Mus, heh, you’re right it does kind of look like she has two tails. I think it’s something else in the background, like a jar.
And poor Felicity, I hope Alex can find a way to help her *cough* mention Nicole *cough* ^_^
Glad to hear you’re feeling better, Scott, but I agree with the others if you normally don’t get headaches and they keep persisting you ought to see your family doc.
i get really bad headaches as well, but those Claritin Redi-Tabs work ok for me. it could be sinuses.
Good thing Felicity’s not about to give birth to twins. That would doom here right there.
Scott,
I’ll go out on a a limb and speak for all of us that wouldn’t care a lick if the pages got updated if you had to go get better in the first place. Headaches aren’t something trivial when they happen all the time. I think we’re all mature enough here to understand and respect that.
I keep wondering how Alex-specific that necklace is. 🙂
I’m pretty sure it only works for him. But yeah, seeing Nicole in Dreamland would be cool.
If the sword is, in fact, not specific to Alex, now would be a good time to wake up from the nap and trade places. Nicole’s been reading and studying pretty hard all morning and early afternoon. She could be tired and ready for a nap herself. It just might be what both she and Felicity need… to see and hear their good ol’ BFF.
Love the page, Scott.
Wouldn’t hurt to make a doctor appoint. Feel better soon, K?
i don’t like felicity wen she is sick
poor felicity.

What is it with you crazy webcomic peoples, refusing to take time off even when you’re not well?
It’s not like we /pay/ to read this online, you’re not fulfilling your end of some contract. You’re not obligated to keep going until you drop dead, you know. I have a mother and an uncle who have chronic migraines. I get them occasionally, too. I know that sometimes a lot of the pain is actually rooted in your neck and shoulders – maybe try a chiropractor. Tension and strain in the neck, shoulder and even jaw muscles can cause some really, really nasty headaches. Even just getting a friend or someone to rub your shoulders/neck can make it a lot better! . And there’s something called migrastick…it’s like head on, but it works really well.
the body is well but the spirit isn’t willing.
Until Alex talks to her, and maybe tells her about her long lost childhood human friend and convines her life is worth living and she is important.
Eeeesh, man I hate that!!! Migraines that last for days, I’m literally shivering at the memory right now (but I already ranted about my past history with headaches and such so I won’t go there!!!). You’re coping far better than I remember being able to though, so hopefully it’ll keep getting better and leave completely very soon. Other than that, all I can say is try and take it as easy as possible, avoid ANY kind of stress if you can, and anything even remotely strenuous.
Oh and if it seems to come and go in waves don’t worry, as I’m sure you already know from your wife telling you (I’m guessing she has as you mentioned she normally suffers from them) that’s perfectly normal and it DOES mean it’s getting better, even if it seems worse than before for a while. Hang in there man.
By the way, really nice page, this is EXACTLY how I’d imagine this scene to go, facial expressions and everything, spot on! Very cool. 😉
Hey Scott, I’m not sure if you read comments of past pages, but I posted my own experience on 794, 2 pages ago.
Sucks about the headaches. I get them for days because of working on the pc so much.
I just took a nap and had a Dreamland dream. I wonder if I had any brain activity…
Thank you guys.
So far so good today.
Doing my last sketch for orders and then back to tomorrow’s page.
Hopefully pizza tonight and maybe even Hellboy II.
🙂
Thanks for your concern and all of your support.
I do read every single one of these and it means so much to me.
Thanks
Scott
Is it just me, or does the centaur woman seem slightly see through in the third panel? I mean, not VERY, but you can kinda see the texture of the tent wall through her arm…
When it’s headache time, watch your caffeine intake. As in _NONE_. Give your chemistry time to clean out. Sugar, chocolate, try to stick with foods that don’t spike your blood sugar either.
Most American headaches are caused by “withdrawl” from caffeine.
My thoughts, exactly. Loan the necklace to Nicole. It might even work!
… I wonder where Dreamlanders go when they dream, or if they dream at all. O’course if I dream in a dream, it tends to function essentially like teleportation. I just end up somewhere else.
Nicole also in R.E.M. sleep. Same machine monitors both her’s and Alex’s brain waves, and possible the cords are connected as well. Both of their brainwaves interact, allowing her to go to Dreamland. Then she sees Felicity, problem solved.
If Felicity dies from this, that will be Bambie’s-mother-getting-shot depressing. But if it’s done well, it could be very moving, and add to the entire piece. Given that we’re around the half-way point of the story, I could see something like her prolonged injuries leading to her demise, and that becoming the low point of the story for not just Alex and the Dreamlanders, but Nicole as well, from which both teams must bounce back from for the final battle against Nicodemus. Though I hope not.
