Page 878…
Hey guys.
Another week. Boy…the days are going by faster and faster…sigh.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s pages.
We’re headed to Florida for a few days to let the kids play at the beach. So the next few days are gonna be kind of “automated” as I’m posting them in advance.
🙂
Hope you guys have a great weekend. See you (kinda) on Monday.
Scott
It’s nice to see a little backstory now and then! Gentle Giants, eh?
Have fun down here in Florida! The rain storms have calmed, but it’s still gonna rain at least for a bit every day, just like every summer. Give me a shout if you’re in the Orlando area!
I love backstory. More, please, give me more.
Paddington’s no Fezzik, huh? Kiwi would have kicked butt and chewed bubblegum, and she’s all out of gum.
-hihi- she should have seen that one coming, i can’t see Paddington get mad and hurt someone, unless he goes berserk or something 🙂
Aww, Paddington’s kind are gentlerocks! (well, i can’t exactly say men, now can I?)
I know what that would make him go berserk if he was not allowed to dance anymore.
Have fun in florida, You normally Post the comics on the day we read them right? My Husban and I had a talk about how webcomics are posted, he said you all set them up to post for you a week ahead. I said well maybe others do but not scott, with dreamland because you always write us a personal note.
Thanks for all your great work. I love the comic.
Scott, after all the buildup about the flying lessons, I’ll be disappointed if they are completely off-scene. I’m not suggesting I want to see Luke Skywalker’s training, but that was an important part of his story. I think a few (one to three) pages (or partial pages) of his experience would make the story much stronger.
Whatever you decide, thanks for The Dreamland Chronicles.
I hate to be nit picky, but in the fourth panel shouldn’t Paddington be saying “No, WE just moved on” otherwise it kind of sounds like he is distancing himself from his own people… unless of course that is some other plot twist we have let to discover. 😛
I think these pages with Kiwi and Padington have been great. They are both excellent characters but don’t normaly get a lot of screen time. Its good to flesh them out more.
Something tells me that Paddington’s gentle people could be a force to be reckoned with. Much like the eants of “The Two Towers”, if something were to shock them enough, they would go to war…
@Joey, I think what Paddington means is that he wasn’t living among his people when it happened. It seems like he wanders around Dreamland giving dance lessons and he’s quite famous for it. Those guards at Astoria’s gates way back in chapter 4 treated him like a celebrity.
Have a good trip, Scott.
hey, i posted the other day about the link buttons that were missing, but I just made my own by stitching together a wallpaper and your logo the best i could XD
http://dream-scar.net/layout/dreamland_button.jpg it’s here if you want it for a placeholder! XD
I like the contrast between the feisty but tiny Kiwi, and the huge, gentle Paddington. She’s all ready to go out and rouse the fey to support the Giants, only to find that they aren’t looking for support. 🙁
Awesome page. By the way, ‘Joey’, I think that’s EXACTLY what Paddington is doing. 🙂
I think it frustrates him that they did that, just ‘moved on’ without a fight. Besides, it was before his time, if I were him I would use the term ‘they’ as well. Just my opinion. 😉
By the way, I’m a 100% Kiwi-style guy, there’s no way I’d let something like that go without a fight. Oh yeah, I think Kiwi just became my new favourite character, mmmhmm. ^_^
FL, hm? Should stop by S. FL here and say hi! 🙂 Have a good trip!
I don’t know why, but as I read this page Paddington’s voice sounded like John Goodman in my head… and I found it strangely fitting 🙂
Hi all.
If you’re interested in our travels to Florida please follow our twitter or facebook
Why oh why did you change the songs in the Jukebox? Although it’s alright to change the songs now and again, did you have to change them to THOSE songs? the others were all lovely and mystical (suits dreamland) but not these songs! PLEASE CHANGE THEM!
If you are planning to stop by St. Augustine, then give the ghost tours a go. They’re an excellent source of paranormal activity. (Too bad you can’t get in the old lighthouse at night. That’s the freakiest thing you’d EVER encounter here.) FYI, I live here in St. Augustine, FL.
Liking this sidetrack a lot. And yeah, John Goodman should do Paddy’s voice in the full length feature film.
Poor Paddington…I feel sorry for him. His people sound like a really good race, it’s a shame the good guys always get shoved aside. =(
Hiya! Been awhile since I commented…I’ve caught up with all your pages again–and I’m loving how the story’s been going. (Maybe this time I can stick around to continue commenting.) ;p
lol. vegetarian rocks.
Paddington has really started to come to life, this sequence was definately needed!
Gentle Giant Syndrome. When you are aware of your immence power, and the damage you can cause. Resulting in a passive stance towards conflict, possibly even pacifisim.
