New Page 17. Bea’s acting skills and sharp thinking come in handy once again.
So today is finally the big day to announce the 2010 winner of the FanArtPolooza Contest! You all made it tough as always. Mike and I narrowed it down to our ten favorites, but in the end, only one can win! I consulted a few members of the Dream team and the favorite entry over all was…. *drumroll, please*…Anne Bannister for her Dreamer Trailer entry! This entry made us all wish there really was a Dreamer movie coming out. My favorite part is that the first time I watched it, I squeed at every new shot because I could tell exactly what scene from the comic it was. So Congratulations, Anne! You’ll be getting a free commissioned drawing from me, and a signed Dreamer poster of your choice!
But you know me, I can never just pick one. Mike and I chose three runners up to each receive one of the Dreamer short stories (of your choice!) and a set of Dreamer Buttons (with Nathan’s face of course) in the mail. Runners up are……… Nathan, His Life for His Country by C.J. Dunleavy, Jr. (This poem was thoroughly researched (and annotated!) and a fav of the Dream Team.); Maybe Gone Tomorrow by Laura (our favorite of all the beautiful art pieces); and Katie Kugler’s Nathan Hale song! (I don’t care how many times I listen to this song, I’m still tapping my toes.)
So congrats to the winners! Hip, hip, huzzah! You guys make this so hard on me every year.
Thanks for all the votes so far in the TGT Webcomic Tournament! Only two days left until the finals! VOTE to help me into the final round, where I’ll be asked back to do another podcast. If I make it into the finals, we’ll unlock one of the previous Dreamer Wallpapers as a thank you to you all!
As always, VOTE TWC this week to preview next Friday. For those of you who just can’t wait.
Congrats to the winners!
And Lora, the page this week is amazing! I’ve been waiting all week to find out why Alan was being hit by Bea, and I was hoping you’d update as soon as the clock struck 12 so I came on here immediately and all I can say is “Wow.” Can’t wait until next Friday now :D
Everyone did an awesome job! I love to see all the fans show off their skills!
oh and i forgot I love this update! Bea chasing Alan is hilarious!
Wow! Lol! This had me almost on the floor laughing! I suppose they will make it out now, thnaks to Bea’s terrific acting skills! I wonder what Alan will say to her after that episode… I have always known that 18th century fans make great weapons, and this proves me right! Ha ha ha. I also want to congratulations to all the winners of the fan art. : ) You all did a wonderful job!
Bea’s acting skills come in handy once again. lol
Congrats to the winners! :)
Congrats to the winners!!
Also, I LOVE this week’s page – I only wish I could see the look on Nathan’s face as he hears this going on!
-screams- -runs to tell mom and dad- -screams again- Thank you so much Lora!!!!
What an awesome resolution to last week’s cliffhanger page. Nicely played, nicely played!
Cheers!
I know Bea is acting but I don’t think she has to work too hard to tap into role she’s playing. I like that she made Milly the maid. XD Mrs. Murry’s nervous laugh had me LOL. If this works, score one for the good guys for getting away from Howe again. Awesome voting incentive, btw. this should be Alan’s new, regular outfit. XD
Awesome update as usual. I feel sorry for Alan though he looks a little confused I think when Bea first starts her tirade lol.
Also, congrats to the winner and runners up, I don’t envy your job of picking a winner Lora :)
@Rae: I don’t envy me either, lol! I always ask The Dream Team their opinions, and force Mike to help me pick. You know me, I wish everyone could win! :)
re: Alan, yeah, it took him a minute to catch onto why he was being beaten. When he realized the plan, he was at least smart enough to pull his hat down and RUN. I’m sure Mrs. Loring gave General Howe a description of the bloke who locked her in a closet and threw away the key.
@Albone: Yes, I think Bea is only half acting here.
@Chuck: Glad it was worth the wait!
@Katie: Congrats!!!! *hugs*
@Caera: Yup, the acting skills come in handy again! This was the payoff for last issues cliffhanger. (Bea should be the spy, not Nathan. XD)
@Amber: I think Alan will say, “You’re crazy.” Or, “You’re cracked” as they did in the 18th century. :)
I’m laughing in so much glee, I’m turning a very interesting shade of red.
Love that Bea made Milly the maid — the annoyance would be perfectly explicable to anyone back then, but she’d be (THWACK) able to (THWACK) get her own (THWACK) back (THWACKTHWACKTHWACK)! And the expression on Mama Murray’s face is PRICELESS. Quick thinking on her part, and especially on Bea’s. Wonder if Alan’s figured it out yet; guess we’ll see next week!
Congrats to all the winners! I’m hoping I’ll be more inspired as to an entry if there’s another contest. ^_^
AngelVixen :-)
Ha! Bea kills two birds with one fan!
@Wynne: LOL. You win best comment of the day. XD
“Bea should be the spy, not Nathan”
Oooohooooo do I detect a little foreshadowing in that statement?
Yay~!! Congrats to the winners!! :D So many talented people! ^.^
Haha, the new page made me smile…Poor Alan! I wonder of Hammy and Nathan heard the commotion XD
Cracked indeed! It’s scene like this that really make me love Bea- resourceful and overdramatic and utterly essential to the boys’ survival. And I love that shot of Howe at bottom right- dignified, a bit sad, handkerchief in gloved hands, and quoting away. A bit of drama in that one, too, I think.
Congrats to the winners! I look forward to looking at your creations..
Ha! I can’t tell you how much I’m loving this page! Well played, Bea.
OMG that is such quick thinking on Bea’s part! NICELY DONE! Threw them all for a loop. Funnier still is that she probably means some of that! LOL!
Great page!
What a fun page! :) I love how General Howe looks like he wants to leave the room in that second panel, it makes me realize he’s not just this bad guy with no emotions ^^
Congrats to all the winners!
