Happy Monday Everyone!
Hope you enjoyed your weekend.
Some things to talk about…
First…
Karen did a wonderful pin-up of Nastajia and Kiwi where she ribs me for Nastajia’s gloomy demeanor.
Thanks Karen!
Secondly…
I got an adorable pic of reader Lazette’s kitty with her new Paddington Plush.
For the record. Zaphod is a BIG kitty. Paddington’s 15 inches tall when he stands.
I’m just saying…
It got me thinking…maybe we should do a “PADDINGTON PHOTO GALLERY”?
Something where everyone takes pictures with him all over the world?
Thoughts?
Third…um…ly?…
I was sent a wonderful Fan Page from Scott Arsenault. Creator of Commander Kitty!
http://www.commanderkitty.com/
And some other parting thoughts…
Have any of you had any problems with ads setting off your virus warnings or anything? I’ve received 2 emails to date.
Also…
Lora Innes (the Dreamer) and I have been toying around with a crossover one day. Any thoughts on that?
nothing serious yet. But honestly (even if Lora isn’t convinced yet)…I really like the idea.
🙂
I hope you have a great week…and thanks for reading!
Scott
Wow… you can see the daggers coming out of Nicole’s eyes….
I’m enjoying the interactions between Daniel and Nicole, great work as always. Also enjoying TGT podcast that you were on and currently listening to.
I like the butting of heads going on in these pages. Very amusing.
Also, I love The Dreamland Chronicles, and I love The Dreamer. Crossover = love. 🙂
A crossover would be fun as a joke – but not as an actual plot in the stories. I love them both so much – separately! Despite both being about dreaming, they are very very different stories with very very different basis in reality and dream world. I’d be disappointed to see either story seriously enter the other.
Crossover sounds like an exciting and fun idea!
Great page as always. =]
Ah, she was always the perfect student….XD
eh. crossover. their a dime a dozen these days… but still an excellent page. hats off to u!
some ads carry a virus, keenspot had a lot of trouble with one a couple of weeks ago
Much as I like both Dreamland Chronicles and The Dreamer, I can’t see a X-over working outside of the school side of things – which is the least interesting part of both series, IMO.
A cameo on the other hand would be pretty cool…
Haha, I like how Nicole looks offended at being told she got an A. And I agree that a cameo would be better, through I think the school side of things is the most interesting part of the Dreamland Chronicles. (shrugs) Go figure.
Oh, and I think Kimberly said it best.
you can just see her saying “i will eat your soul nerd-boy”
It seems like a lot of forms of paper in this comic are strangely proportioned. Books and paper alike are usually square instead of rectangular.
Coming from Alex, it might have been mockery. Coming from a fellow academic achiever, it’s not.
Tell Lora that there ought to be CONTINOUS links between her issues! 😀 I started reading her wc when you first mentioned it (her), and got stuck at the end of Issue one, because I thought there were no updates!
Finally got going a couple of weeks back.
And, “Commenting” is always “closed” on all her beautiful pages.
As for the crossover – why not? Very different milieu for the two, but one could “come to” and realize “uhhh, wrong dream!” and zap to the next channel, so to speak… or whatever! 😀
Thanks all…
Definitely we were thinking just an out of continuity gag thing. Just for fun.
I promise.
🙂
The paper isn’t square it’s just kinda flopping over!
I love the comics with them, too…but I can still never wait to get back to Dreamland!
Yes! … a cross-over, in or out of continuity, would be GREAT.
Thanks to your link a while back, I went to the Dreamer and read the archive in one sitting and loved it …. so a big YES from me.
Keep up the good work and happy new year too.
As we move into 2009, it seems that the latest candidates for hackers and fraudsters to attack is webcomics, and the weapon of choice is specially coded flash “ads” that appear on the surface to be normal ads but actually contain malicious hijacking code.
Over the last few weeks I know of at least seven sites that are either webcomics or related to webcomics that have been attacked in this way. PW doesn’t allow flash, as you probably already know – but google ads and keenspace do, and that makes them and their subscribers vulnerable since they have control over the ads, the sites concerned only get fed the code.
Do take it as testament to how popular Dreamland Chronicles is though – at present only the most popular comics are coming under attack. But if people are getting firewall alerts, maliciously coded flash ads are the most likely reason.
I’ve not personally been having any trouble with viral ads, but thanks for giving me the heads up! Oh, and as always, this page is as beautifully put together; wll up to the usual standard. I really like this battle of wills going on here!
I like Zaphod… he looks like my kitty. =^-^=
Anywho, if you get good grades in college, you probably got ‘A’s on homework assignments. It just goes together.
That cat just *looks* like a Zaphod.
“Anywho, if you get good grades in college, you probably got ‘A’s on homework assignments. It just goes together.”
I got Cs throughout high school, but my undergrad and graduate GPAs were both in the 3.7 and up range. I was just lazy in high school. 😛
Did Nicole’s lip color change? It looks more subtle and really nice.
Several weeks ago Microsoft published a warning about an vulnerability within IE that exploited flash sites and certain websites. The hackers would use dummy images, flash images and such and code them into the websites and causing folks who visited said websites to be hit with a virus.
The same day that Microsoft found this they worked to get a patch up on an automatic update that would resolve this vulnerablity. We got warnings of it on McChord AFB as well so most of the base avoided any surfing for that day.
If some one doesn’t do the Microsoft Updates their computer will fall prey to these hacks.
On a happy note, I absolutely ADORE this comic! It’s very beautiful and fun to keep up on! Well done!
Man, Dan has been getting Nicole to look at him that way a lot lately. I’m amazed he’s not dead.
funny, digging through her kid stuff, “Got an A of course” LoL.
Oh, and Zaphod is a cool name for a cat. Though I’d rather just have peril-sensitive sunglasses.
I would certainly read a Dremland/dreamer cross over.
Alex in 1776? Beatrice in Dreamland??
haha at least it would be good for some side comics if you ever need a buffer.
It would have been funnier if it had been Pepe LePew instead of Commander Kitty…
Hi Scott,
Just wanted to touch on the idea of a Paddington Photo Gallery, with pictures of him around the world.
It’s a neat idea but the real effort is to make sure it’s the same Paddington in all the photos! Now that would make him a world traveller.
Of course, he wouldn’t be the only fantasy hero making a world tour. Check out what a certain warrior princess has been doing since her tv show ended in 2001. 🙂

I think that at this point, anything that Dan says will gain him a look-to-kill glare from Nicole. The only one who can convince her now is she herself.
love Nicole’s face in the last panel.
Its interesting going back through old school papers. I recently came across some of mine from elementary school. I spent as much time drawing cities and flying saucers as I did on most of the assignments.
