Page 874…
Hey all! Happy Monday.
And Happy Memorial Day.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. And those that get a free day off today…hope you are enjoying the extra day to relax.
Today’s page is very orange. Sorry.
I hope you like it.
A bit about these pages….
I’ve always had every character plotted out. Their direction. Their hopes. Their dreams.
But there’s not always time to tell everyone’s story.
This bit here…it starts a little side story of Paddington’s. Just a little about him.
Right now…you can see he’s a vegetarian. He eats trees and plants.
We don’t get to see everyone eat, sleep, and other things in Dreamland. SO over the next few days…you’ll learn a bit about Paddington. Who he is. Where he’s from. His people. And more.
I hope you enjoy it. And I hope it brings a bit more depth and richness to this story you’ve been following.
Thanks for reading…and sorry…no feathers in anyone’s butts today.
🙂

Awwe. Paddington and the sunset- so cute!
I really like this. I feel like Paddington’s the one character we don’t know as much about, so this should fill things in nicely. ^_^
There ain’t been any feathers in anyones butt before. ^^
Never mind the orange. Wonder how long you’ve been fooling around to get that special sun-set-tone of color. ‘t is niiiice.
I love paddington. Maybe Paddington will be amusing enough in the limelight that we won’t feel too let down after the feathers-in-butts and farts we have grown accustomed to as a source of humor this past week. If not, maybe you could have paddington riiip another one. 😉
Well I heard eating trees can give you gas….
All that fiber eh?
Even though hes 1000x her size Kiwi and Paddington look so cute together (then again Paddington is my favorite character :-D) Great work Scott, hope you are feeling better.
Orange is pretty.
I missed Paddington and Kiwi, the largest and the smallest of the group. They`re so cute together. I`d love to read more about Paddington! I`m excited now!
Aww, Paddington looks so cute! Something’s on his mind for sure. He looks like my boyfriend did when he wanted to ask me out but didn’t feel comfortable doing so because all our friends were around.That’s just the first thing that comes to mind.
Character driven stories are great. I love the detail we’ve gotten on Nastajia (my favorite character), and the rest of the characters. We definitely need more development on Paddington and Kiwi – just to see what makes them tick.
This is an amazing story, Scott! Keep it up!
Paddington seems depressed to me 😛 What could get a big guy like him down?
Guess we’ll find out what’s going on in his head soon enough.
That’s a great last panel with Kiwi and Paddington just enjoying the sunset. ^_^ Yes!! I also chime in that I’m excited to learn more about Paddington. He’s such a sweetheart he definitely deserves some “screen time”. He and Kiwi both!
Oh, Man!
The “Riiiip” is Paddington pulling up trees- not farting as previously thought. Or IS he farting? (he Is eating, after all)
I like these beautiful quiet moments too- the dialogue balloons don’t interfere with the graphics.
Thanks for fleshing out Paddington, and maybe Kiwi too.
Scott, I am really enjoying the series and story line. you have written a great adventure here.
Oh, come on. Orange’s my favorite color! Sunsets are only pretty BECAUSE of orange!
Anywho, thanks!
!Dr. Dixie!
Good Morning all!
Thanks for the encouragement. I hope you enjoy this sequence.
I love all my characters…but have been wanting to tell a bit about Paddington for so long. I’m so glad I can do that.
> I feel like Paddington’s the one character we don’t
> know as much about, so this should fill things in nicely.
Kiwi hasn’t had much background/characterisation yet either. Hopefully we’ll eventually find out more about both of them.
Yeah, we don’t know much about Kiwi’s past and hopes and dreams either. But I’ve always loved Paddington, and it’ll be good to hang with him for a while.
Speaking of characters, I’ve noticed Alex having a lot of bonding time with everyone individually over the course of the comic. Kudos. A lot of times I see a group of friends as just that, a group of friends, not so much individuals. The alone time really emphasizes *why* they are friends, and not just people who get along.
‘sigh’ comics are amazing, aren’t they? So much emotion can be expressed with so little dialogue…
Wonderful scene.
Very nice sunset.
Funny, that tree farted.
Pretty sunset though.
Scott:
Getting to know more about Paddington is going to be good. He and Kiwi have had little time to be more than bookends to the story of Alex and Nastajia – yet it’s always been apparent that there is more to both of them – and their relationship to each other. Talk about the Odd Couple… 😉
Wow, beautiful sunset, love all the colours 🙂
Can’t wait to find out more about Paddington!
YAY Paddington! I’ve always been interested in just who our big rock teddy bear is! Character depth ROCKS! (pun intended… lol)
I love Paddington so much! This is a great Memorial Day update, I can’t wait to read more and hear about Rock Giant culture and all that 😀
I can’t wait to larn more about Paddington, he’s like a big rocky teddy bear who I can’t squeeze tightly :)… o wait 🙁
Really loved this; it is indeed nice to get a little view into everyone else… and it’s nice to get some new looks into what Paddington’s life is like. Very sweet two pages so far (nice sort of ‘aw’ feeling with he and Kiwi looking at the sunset). Look forward to seeing more (as usual! 🙂 ).
OMG Scott, that sky is beautiful! No need to apologize about the orange!
And I’m really excited to hear about Paddington’s story! He’s always been my favorite character right from the start, so it’ll be fun to read about what’s going on in his past!
Keep up the good work!
I’ve always wondered what Paddington ate. Now I know.
Reminds me of the Iron Giant eating all that guy’s scrap metal and the power lines at the beginning of the movie.. VERRRY similar in how they eat the trees/power lines.
Yes, it is definately time to learn more of the rock giant, he’s been in the background too long.
In regards to the incident a few pages back, if we’re taking the “RIIP” non-literally, I much prefer to think of Orion as the culprit than Paddington. Orion’s so… proper and majestic. The contrast is what makes it so amazing.
On a serious note, I look forward to Paddington’s development, and also hope Kiwi will get a storyline down the road.
Awwww.
We at least got to see Kiwi’s home village when Alex first returned to Dreamlands as an adult.
