oh, oh.
I hope mrs. murray and her daughter are okay, and that General A-hole dont hurt them.
*oh please, oh please that they stay safe and unharmed*
Oh, man, the mood. And, the dark grey clouds above the sky… D:
I have a feeling they’ll be alright. Bea’s nowhere near the house now, right?
Speaking of Bea, why is the General after her? This definitely ties back to why she was abducted in the first place. Does it have something to do with Betsy?
Well, they certainly look shocked/nervous/apprehensive. Hope nothing is given away… : D
Anyway, wasn’t the original location of that house incorporated into New York years later? I was wondering if you were just going off of other manor-houses of the period when you drew it, Lora, or are there records of what the estate looked like?
Gods, Howe’s so freakin’ CREEPY. lol Adding fuel to the fire darlin’. And I am also really curious as to why he’s after Bea. Hostage perhaps? Or something even more sinister?
I’m begining to have Nathan withdrawals…lol Where did our rebels run off too…
I love how you draw Howe. He’s so genteel-looking, but so frightening–I can hear his voice in my head when I read his lines, aah!
On a sidenote, I really love the dusky-rose look of Mrs. Murray’s dress. And it definitely looks like a storm is coming . . . oh dear.
“Creeper” is definitely what pops into my mind at that last look.
oh my the general seems very sinister on the this page. I enjoyed the dialogue and poor Mrs. Murray and her girls they look worried!
Also, I like your Captain America drawing you put up for the voting incentive. It was well done. (it was supposed to be Captain America right? lol ^_^)
Awesome page!! Howe is starting to get really creepy. Can’t wait to next weeks page! :D
I second lo. Howe is turning out to be something like a scheming madman if you know what i mean;)
Also i forgot to announce: September 22 was a sad day for one particulariy cute Captain . . . :0
Ohh, Howe has ruby eyes… creepy and so hot.
ok, I stayed up forever to read all of this comic! I love it! Now the suspense is killing me though! What is Howe’s fascination with Bea? Can’t wait till next Friday!!!
@Hiraku: I think Betsy is after Alan for locking her in a closet! :)
@Allison: I was able to find a description written about the house from the time. It says that Inclenberg was “approached by an avenue of magnolias, elms, spruce and lombardy poplars, which led to a wide lanw bordered on either side by extensive gardens. The spacious, two-story mansion had a broad veranda extending around three sides, and the front windows commanded a view over Kip’s Bay and the East River.” It was often spoken of as one of the loveliest places on the island.
I hope I drew it well! :)
@Rae: Yup! Captain America! This is the WWII version of him from the Ultimates.
@CatClark: It was indeed.
@Kasey: yay! Welcome on board!
Oh man.. I want to say one thing: This update gives me shivers… I think this picture of Howe is going to haunt my sleep..Eeek!
General Howe, you’re a creeper indeed. Poor Bea.The eyes were brilliant, Lora. Just chilling! (And whoever said they were having Nathan withdrawls, I agree. But I was so glad nothing happened to him this week, given what Wednesday was historically…)
Next Friday, come fasterrrrr!!
I wonder what he is going to offer them to tempt them into telling the truth. Interesting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9uuaDxnr7c I made this tribute video to Joseph Warren. It is not that good, but I just had to maake his name more widely known among the American people…
I love how General Howe’s eyes are colored with a subtle red, not just brown. Nice touch. :)
Last panel FTW. Those looks are priceless! Darth Howe knows how to play the game.
Awesome voting incentive!! Cap is the man. Hmmm, I bet him and Alan would get along.
I love Howe’s eyes! Great page update! Can’t wait until next week!
Hey! Love the page, as usual! OMG you won’t believe what I found today! Drum roll please………A Hale family MUSEUM!!!!!!! It’s the original house that Nathan grew up in! It’s just expanded from when he was a kid because after he died Decon Hale added on rooms for the widows and children of Nathans brothers who had died shortly after the war. I also found out that Abigail Adams was Nathans stepmother!!! That was the other reason for the addition to the original house. Anyway I’m trying to convince my parents to take me, and I have already warned them that if there’s a painting of Nathan, I will take pictures and print them out to hang in my room. ;D
The museum sounds awesome, but I’m confused…how can Abigail Adams be Nathan’s stepmother? Wouldn’t she have to be married to his father? And I’m pretty sure she was only married the one time, to John Adams…
@Anna: Different Abigail Adams ^_^
It’s a different Abigail Adams. The image of Nathan Hale at the Hale Homestead House is a drawing on the back of a door–a shadow portrait etched into the wood that was painted over but rediscovered.
@Half Moon, I hope you get to go! You can read about my trip there here: http://thedreamercomic.com/blog.php/?p=400
@Darwin: Gold and Jewels. LOL. I have no idea! Hopefully whatever it is, they don’t take the bait.
@Amber: That is so awesome! Dr. Warren needs more attention, especially with the renewed interest that is generating in our nation’s founding.
@Albone: I bet Steve Rogers is Alan’s great, great, great grandson. XP That’s the real secret ending to The Dreamer! I’m just waiting for Marvel to buy the rights. ;P
Alright, that makes more sense. Sorry about the confusion!
@Lora: SOOOOOO jelous!!!!! It is so cool that you got a private tour!!!! Did you know the house is supposed to be haunted by part of Nathans family? And thanks for clearing up the Abigail Adams thing, the story I read on the Hale Homestead didn’t mention when Nathans mom died. Btw I agree, that Nathan doll was CREEPY XP
Ahhh, creepy man. Good on you, Mrs. Murray. Don’t give him anything.
