Happy Monday all!
Alex is back in the real world. He’s got a plan.
Isn’t this exciting?
🙂
I wanted to thank you all who’ve been emailing me that you’ve recieved your sketchcards. So glad you like ’em.
Â
And I also wanted to thank Jeff who sent me The Complete Mad Don Martin set from my Amazon Wishlist.
It’s HUGE! I love it!
Â
A lot of fun this week. I hope you enjoy. And thank you (as always) for coming by here every day and reading along.
I think the comments section is quickly becoming a forum. I wonder how that will affect the ACTUAL forum.
Thoughts?
Either way. Thank you again.
Scott
I think his plan is kinda obvious.
:O
Nicole Nicole!
xD
He’s listening to the fans >0>
I hope I havent’ stumbled on a future plot point here but for a while I’ve thought it’d be interesting if Alex finds a kid whose been in dreamland for an unusual length of time. When Alex looks for the kid in the real world he discovers that they’ve been comatose for a while.
Hope I haven’t torn a hole in the story, just saw it as a potential little something for this universe.
ROLE SWITCHING TIME!
Now this time, Nichole sleeps while Alex argues with his brother about how Dreamland cannot exist and reject any evidence that he might bring to the table. Also, Alex gets boobs(?).
Aaaaaaaand… go.
As to how the comments will turn into the forum… Unless if you can post things like shooped pictures of Paddington as the Burger King riding a shark in the comments section, I think the forum is safe… for now.
To be honest, I never bothered with the forum in the first place while I always read at least the first several comments in the daily comments area. Consider another webcomic that’s been around for many, many years; userfriendly. I don’t think they have a forum at all, but the (rather large) fan community is very active in the daily comments area.
Yeah, the forum has slowed down quite a bit – in part due to the comments I believe. I don’t think that’s the only thing though.
I still stop in the forum though, easier to follow.
Waait a moment… did that picture automatically come up or did I set it? Ah well, unimportant.
Go Alex!!! I think his brother is going to think heck froze over lol. Love th comic Scott and I really should join the forum rofl
I’ve been waiting for this since you showed us those cute images of those two when they were younger. *squeals with delight*
Interesting image…
you mean like this?
awww…it didn’t show.
this was a fast job lol: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e327/GothicGabriel/abomination.jpg
totally friggin sweet cant wait til tomorrows page, what am i doin up. ug its 2 am here, back to bed
That is exciting!
Ah, that explains it.
Several commented on Friday that Alex’s head should have exploded when he actually “had an idea.”
Here’s the explanation. His skull was being held together by the EEG headband.
Great thinking, Nicole!
I didn’t even know this place had a forum til now.
Wait, he can FORCE himself awake now?? Wow!
Well, for me it’s just much easier to comment here. Also, I don’t like to be subscribed somewhere and then find myself lurking all the time. If I subscribe somewhere I’d like to participate at least in some form. And for that I just don’t have the time.
And: I was right about Nicole, it seems. I don’t think she’ll go to Dreamland, but she’ll certainly send Felicity a message! *dances* I’m looking forward to those pages already! This will be great!
I think there was some intermediate activities that happened between “THE IDEA” and him waking up that Scott chose not to show.
Actually, notice how he checked to make sure the medicine bag was still with him. I’m convinced that the bag is going to be the key to his plan. I’m thinking he’s going to ask Nicole to let him bring Nicole’s childhood notes with him to Dreamland. Possibly along with a new note from Nicole.
As an aside on the idea of other adults traveling to Dreamland, I don’t think it will be possible for anyone but Alex regardless of them wearing the necklace….. UNTIL he becomes the King of Dreamland. Then he’ll have the power to bring anyone he choses to Dreamland. He’ll also have the power to travel between the worlds at will rather than whenever he happens to fall asleep or wake up. Those are my theories anyways. Scott probably won’t say either way. I’m sure he wants to keep it a surprise.
If Nicole tries to go to Dreamland, she’ll probably spend so much time worrying about it that she’ll never fall asleep.
When did he suddenly get the ability to control when he wakes?
It certainly reads that Alex just willed himself awake.
re: everyone asking how alex managed to wake up when he needed to
He didn’t – orion woke him up again, as per
Those two need to hook up already, its like watching J.A.G. Yes, I agree that he willed himself awake, desperate times call for desperate measures!
Probably more centaur mojo at work.. or what SparcMan said.
@Zender, if you ever experienced a lucid dream before you can easily and forcibly wake yourself up no problem. Even in normal dreams that are a blur, sometimes you could control what’s going on. Nevertheless go Alex! Save that pretty kitty =P
Hope it doesn’t take too long for him to get back to sleep again
I think he willed himself awake, preferring not waste any time explaining and just go with the plan of filling the bag with notes from Nicole. That hamster is running pretty fast.
I am without speech….
Tune in tomorrow for that answer.
🙂
Hey all!
Good morning!
And yes. Alex woke himself up. He explains tomorrow.
🙂
Good morning!! I agree with Sythiar I’d rather post on the daily comments than a forum.
And Alex is the man with the plan! lol! I hope it works.. *crosses fingers*
how did he do that?
he turned back in a sec(not waiting until he was awakening…:P)
I think he always could but never wanted to before.
Greatest thing about (online) comics.
“Elapsed time”
Although i think this is the first time scott has used it on any sort of “cliffhanging”/(alterior plot) moment.
Oh hey, I got my sketch cards. I forgot to send you an email. The Kiwi sketch you did was excellent, thanks!
Yeah, so he willed himself awake, though by the dreamland time, he may not return till after Felicity has chosen to off herself mentally. So, even though he did bring himself back, who’s to say that he can get back to dreamland in time to help Felicity? Or has he somehow gained control of that little problem as well?
Yay!
Glad you got ’em ok.
And thanks for the compliment.
Well Sure! Ever heard of Ambian?
Now we see how inventive Alex is. Will he use the pouch, or the sword, or both, or neither?
As for getting back in time, we already know that the relative time between this plane and Dreamworld is flexible. One minute here may be several hours there, or vice versa. Alex has to do what he can, and hope it’s soon enough for Felicity.
hey, wait, since when can alex wake himself up. that would have been good to know when he needed to avoid an awkward sitiation.
That’s what sleeping drugs and the ability to knock people out are for! :3
But considering that this is a family friendly comic… *sigh*
Did he just force himself awake for this? Wow. Go Alex
“Yeah, so he willed himself awake, though by the dreamland time, he may not return till after Felicity has chosen to off herself mentally.”
Dreamland time is extremely erratic. Sometimes he is gone for several hours or more. The time he and felicity jumped off Nicodemus’ castle, basically no time elapsed during the day because he re-entered dreamland with felicity still in the same spot in mid-air. I think time passes in dreamland however it suits the storyline (which means it will not be too late for Felicity).
I would also like to add that, although the randomly assigned pictures make it more interesting, if I’m stuck with this one forever or I might not be posting as much.
I’m pretty sure you can pick your own using Gravatar. Like the others are doing.
Hehe, its getting interesting. loving the comic 🙂
I like seeing Alex on a mission for once. He’s starting to act instead of react. He seems a bit surprised that it’s working so far, but I expect he’ll get used to it. 😉
Got the cards a few days ago, wanted to mention they are superb.
“time passes in dreamland however it suits the storyline (which means it will not be too late for Felicity)”
We know by plot destiny that this is virtually certain. So in that sense, you are quite right. But from Alex’s standpoint, he can’t know that, which makes his idea of leaving and coming back (rather than talking to Felicity while he was there) really a foolish idea.
If they tried to send Nicole in, even if it worked there would be no guarantee where she would appear or if she could find Felicity. My guess is that Alex will simply try to bring back a note from Nicole in the pouch. But in that case, he really should have at least said something to Felicity about Nicole before leaving. It was foolish to leave without doing so, given time irregularity and not knowing how much longer Felicity will last.
Getting a Gravatar is very easy and can be used on multiple sites too.
Although I am a bit spoiled as I can have unlimited number of email accounts (I own my own email system for my websites :p ) for different websites, but you can change them if you are bored on them.
Thank you!
sooo. I want to know what Dan and Nicole were doing behind that closed door….haha 😛
NOOO!!! Scott!! You did my idea! ( http://thedreamlandchronicles.com/2009/09/10/page-952/ my comment)Why Scott why? How long will it take now? Anyway, this is pretty interesting,
I wonder what will Nicole say?
Alex: “Nicole!!! You need to write a message to your friend in Dreamland that I will take back with me in this pouch or she will DIE!!!”
Nicole: “Alex… are you insane now? I knew it was only a matter of time *sigh*”
That… Was too awesome for my face.
I’m gonna go die laughing now.
