New Page #28!
Busted.
You get your comic a little bit early because I am en route to speak at the Comic Symposium at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, California from 4 to 6 PM. (Yes, this event is open to the public!)*
We’ll be talking about digital comics —the panel is pretty diverse, so it’s sure to be an interesting discussion.
Then, west coasters, come see me this weekend at APE (Alternative Press Expo), Oct 13-14, San Francisco, California, Table #529!
See you next week for the LAST page in this issue!

*VOTE to preview the next page!*
*giggles* Is that Betsy Loring I spy with my little eye in Howe’s bed?
Sir William he, snug as a flea,
Lay all this time a-snoring,
Nor dreamed of harm, as he lay warm,
In bed with Mrs. Loring.
Now in a fright he starts upright,
Awaked by such a clatter;
He rubs his eyes and boldly cries,
For God’s sake what’s the matter?
At his bedside, he then espied,
Sir Erskine in command, sir,
Upon one foot he had one boot,
And t’other in his hand, sir.
Arise! Arise! Sir Erskine cries;
Awesome. :) I had to look this up because I wanted to read the rest of it…and then I learned it was a song intended to be sung to the tune of Yankee Doodle…just plain awesome! :)
Amber, you get best comment for your singing of the Battle of the Kegs! And yes, it is meant to be sung to the tune of Yankee Doodle.
Sorry, I’m in San Fran and don’t have my sticker sheet on hand. I’ll post your official star later. ;)

By the way, L, I’m nominating Halfie’s “Cursed Mountain Dew” line for best comment of last post. Whaddayasay?
Cool! The song is what came to my mind when I saw Betsy snuggling up to Howe. Mhhm. I have always wondered what Howe’s fellow officers thought about their liaison. Howe was married too!
But, most British officers then were debauched so I do not think they really thought about it. General Robertson was a pedophile. He had two twelve year old mistresses, according to Loyalist Judge Thomas Jones. Burgoyne was a playboy as well. Yes, I did say that. In fact, Burgoyne’s wagons filled with his goods and his mistresses, that were in addition to regular army wagons, were what clogged his progress to Saratoga. The list can go on.
XD The British back then were just, well, unique.
ERMAGERD!!! URLY URPDATE!!! :D
Well done Mom!!! :) I truly hope that Bea gets her butt handed to her on this one (after her mom confiscates the meds in the back pocket of her butt of course). I mean, I’m all for trying to save Nathan, but I don’t see how she could get to him in time…and I don’t want her getting to sleep that way.
SO busted now! Think FAST, Bea!
Nathan’s chances are ranging from slim to none, and slim is inching toward the exit.
oooooo!!!! She got you Beaaaaa!!!!!!!! tho nice move with the pockets….
And what’s with the fops in the VI? Hammy having a contest?
I believe those are British fops. :/
Oh good. Those are the best kind.
I now have A Little Priest running through my head…
The truth, Mrs. Whaley? You can’t handle the truth.
Really. You can’t. So stop asking.
“Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies.”
I just had this weird brain thing where Bea discovers her parents’ real names are Amy and Rory, and she was genetically altered by the time vortex while her parents traveled back in time via the Tardis, Alan is the 12th Doctor, “adopted” by the Warrens when he got stuck in 1776, and now it is Bea’s destiny to save him, help him change Nathan Hale’s fate… oh, and she has a sister somewhere in the universe named River.
Yeah.
(Hey. A girl can dream.)
Seriously. Think about it. (*wonders if there were any van Gogh’s in that art exhibit Bea’s mom organized…*)
*steals a van Gogh and smuggles it home with me* My precious….. *strokes frame* XD
THIS
THIS IS PERFECT
WANT SO MUCH
@Faith: Your theory WOULD answer a lot of questions. It also raises some more but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Seriously, though, Mrs. Whaley DOES kind of resemble an older version of Amy Pond, although Rory would have had his facial features altered to be Mr. Whaley. Why he would have done that is a good question in itself.
Bea, quick, use your acting skills. Burst out crying all over your mom and say Ben broke up with you–I know that’s not why you came home but it is sorta true, and she’ll assume that’s why you’re not well, instead of the other way around, etc….
VI: AWKWARD!!!!
I think you’re on to something there…
I am a bad influence.
you are not!
Just an evil genius? lol
Why, yes. Yes you are. :)
Muahahahaa!!
And Lora, you say next week is the last page in this issue? As in Friday or Tuesday? I hope you mean Friday because 29 pages is one WEIRD number to end on. lol
hey, at least its not ending on 21 or 22…
True! Or 23. That’s my unlucky number. SO glad I’m 24 now. lol
Or any date that’s on Tuesday this month
Well…..this is….not good. Remember Bea, the truth shall set you free!
Except here, where it’ll land you in a mental hospital, so……yeah.
INCENTIVE CAPTION!!
Pvt. Beavis: “Look, Robert! Some strumpet is in the general’s chamber!”
Pvt. Head: “Heh…..you said chamber. Ah huh-huh-huh…huh-huh-huh….”
Pvt Beavis: “Ha….yeah, I did! Heh-heh-heh-heh….”
Head: “Ah huh-huh-huh…”
Beavis: “Heh-heh-heh-heh….”
Mr. Howe: “Will you kids pipe down? I’m trying to sleep here!”
Head: “Huh-huh……’pipe down’….huh-huh-huh….”
O_O You have officially lost it, Brent!
And… I think you upped this from a G rating to a PG rating….
Bea is not going to Bedlam, you are sir. ;)
This is why we love you Brent, you never fail to entertain us….
*shrug* This is what comes from growing up with Beavis AND Butthead
Ah! Now we know the source of your inspirations!
But where did you get the idea of a tea cosy? British commercial? XD
Straight from the site, baby — straight from the site. X-D
I’m with the group that doesn’t want her to get to sleep this way. Besides…history is written…what makes Bea think she can change it?
Well if she has enough wite-out…
LOL! :)
Oh Caera…I think you’ll need to start a wite-out factory to make enough to change Nathan’s fate. :(
I’ll start building one.
Hey, politicians rewrite history all the time. So why can’t Bea?
Wait….are you saying that Nixon actually was a shady character?
*is shocked*
I’m afraid Nixon was before my time. Therefore I’d have to trust the opinions of those who wrote the history, right? Doh!
Nathan can’t die! I just can’t handle it! Bea there are non-prescription sleeping pills out there you know!
oh oh Bea’s in trouble! First Ben and now her mom…
Ever wonder if Marilyn Monroe ever took sleeping pills and that it was the pills that killed her? I hope Bea you don’t end up like Marilyn Monroe.
Maybe Bea should dress up as Marilyn to save Nathan, all she needs is a sewing supplies and few sheets to make herself a Marilyn 1950′s dress and use that wig she had on back at http://thedreamercomic.com/comic.php?id=266 so she don’t get got and Mrs. Loring move out of the way, Marilyn Monroe is in town!
Was Bea ever a Marilyn Monroe fan?
I wouldn’t be at all surprised.
Hmmmm, I wonder if anyone in Bea’s family experiences dreams like she does …
If that were the case Bea’s mom would probably have already figured out what’s going on and would be more concerned than angry with her right now. Or maybe the “Dreaming” IS genetic to Bea’s family but sometimes skips a generation or two, so Mrs. Whaley probably just wouldn’t know about it. That’s assuming there’s anything to this theory.
That last panel, with her mom leaning against the door frame and glaring–just so EXCELLENTLY drawn! The whole body language of young-lady-you-are-so-busted–you nailed it. I can see where Bea gets some of her determination from…
Thanks!
Does anyone else REALLY not like Bea? Just me?
Don’t worry, I don’t like her either. The way shes treating Liz and Ben is really making it hard for me to feel anything but annoyance at her. Unless I see some serious growth as a person, I really don’t want to see her and Ben get back together. He doesn’t deserve to be treated as a backup boyfriend just in case the man of her dreams isn’t real.
She keeps this up shes going to lose Liz too. I hope we get to see Liz stand up for herself.
*sucks breath in between teeth* Bea honey, you can’t keep *doing* this. Did you forget the painting incident?
