New Page 23 today! Between braces, birthdays, sickness and conventions there is only one page out this week.
I’m at C2E2. Tomorrow, Saturday April 17th is the panel I’ll be on. “Do We Still Need a Women in Comics Panel?” Check it out at 5:30 if you’re attending the show.
See you next Friday for the exciting conclusion of Issue #9! And next weekend, April 24th & 25th I’ll be at the SPACE convention in Columbus, Ohio. Hope to see you there! I’m moderating a Webcomics Panel.
VOTE today to preview next week! See you then!
I love how dynamic these pages are!
Have fun at the convention! Best of luck with the braces while you’re there *thumbs up*
Too fun page!!! Made up for only one. ;)
cool, can’t wait for more! (I was wondering when this part of the story would happen!)
Pannel four is amazing. :)
This is so exciting! The effects are so action-movie’ish now. So beautiful. I’m loving the colours and I’ve been rereading The Dreamer lately and I noticed that your art style has gone up a notch. Really beautiful work, Lora.
I was wondering, will the talk be recorded? It’d be cool if I could catch it online.
Have fun!
I find it cute that Hamilton was wondering if Bea was all right. :P COMPETITION ALAN.
And don’t worry about the one page update, Lora! T’was a well-informed update, haha. Have fun at C2E2, and those braces are going to kill you one day out of the many you’ll have them. I guarantee it. I think one time they irritated me so much I BIT one off. It kind of dangled there on the wire until the next day, when I got it fixed. :/ Terrible. BUT ENOUGH HORROR STORIES! Bring back plenty of pictures from the panel, and the future Con in Columbus! We’d be glad to see them! <3
What an exciting page today–and not just because it’s so action packed and I love Alan. I’m actually living in Kip’s Bay right now. =)
I can’t wait for the conclusion of issue 9 :) good luck with all the conventions and what have you (and of course the braces! I don’t miss that portion of my life!)
*swoon* HAMILTON! The dashing hero arrives..!………. late.
It is so adorable to think that Bea was on his mind though… *sigh*….. Oh–um, but I still love Alan and Nathan of course….!! *pulls out foam finger*
Yet, I shall always have an undying crush on Alexander Hamilton!! ^^
I’m REALLY loving the updates lately, Lora!! Gosh, I was looking through the first issue just the other day, your art was amazing then, yet you still found room to improve! It baffles me, really. Great job! ^^
The Dreamer just gets better and better all the time! : )
Awwww, Hamilton! He’s so cute when he’s concerned! Though has he ever got a right to be worried …
In my English course this semester we just read “The Centenarian’s Story” by Whitman and I had this cool moment of disparate parts of my life coming together in an unexpected way. Granted, Whitman was talking about the Battle of Long Island, which isn’t really where we are in Dreamer-time.
Great update, Lora! Although I live in fear of Sept. 16, 1776, I can’t wait for next week’s update!
hey lara!
don’t know if you remember me at all, but i’m pit-face from back at the drunk duck site. i created Putrid Meat. just noticed we’ll be exhibiting at the same con in a week! my real name is Deidre Crouch. would be nice to meet someone else from the site so if i see you i’ll say hello! take care and hope it goes well for ya!
haha Hamilton is so cute wondering about Bea! He needs to back off though. Thats Alans woman! haha
great update. :)
OOH I was looking up whats coming next (because I cant wait that long to find out and my beautiful ragged copy of 1776 was calling my name) and I’m pretty darn scared out of my wits now. OH DANG. please tell me your gonna rewrite history here? lol
Wow, really effective page. I’m glad you’re hammering in that war isn’t just fun and games and guys in breeches.
Someone who knows how to do it should make a dress-up doll for this era, with all the pretty dresses and uniforms and hairs… so we could make any of the heroes. Or combinations. <3
So gorgeous.
Ha ha! Here comes Alexander Hamilton, the knight in shining armor! Or, uh, shining coat! Is this story going to be a love triangle?? Lol! Now we are in suspense until next week! Will they make it out okay?? I sure hope so! Though, I do know what will happen next, but that is my secret. ; ) Again, great coloring, and great cannon blasts! : )
Heh — looks as though the pretty girl has another guy willing to play Hero if she needs him to…though he’s a ladies’ man, Bea, so stick with Alan! Very interested to see how their predicament will play out (Kip’s Bay, the one battle my memory was never strong on ^^;;), given how now they *really* need to make their retreat and get somewhere (at least marginally) safer. Poor Bea, finding out firsthand just how much war is *not* like the movies.
Have lots of fun this weekend!
AngelVixen :-)
Wow, three handsome men coming to your aid in a crisis, Bea! Seriously! Lucky girl. =)
The plot is definitely starting to thicken, here… if we are where I think we are in history.
Gorgeous art and coloring, as usual! Have fun at the convention!
All these hotties for Bea. The other girls would be jealous. Oh, and there’s also Knowlton. I hope there won’t be a duel over Bea. :D
This just keeps getting better and better. In addition to the action, I think you’re drawing Hamilton’s facial expressions wonderfully- but I’m really in love with Nathan’s unkempt hair at the moment. It’s also good to see Alan excercising his leadership skills…Knowlton made him a major for a good reason!
And I hope Bea behaves sensibly!
Looking forward to hanging out at C2E2!
Action! Adventure! Explosions! Drama! This thing is one wardrobe mishap away from being a Jerry Bruckheimer-Michael Bay flick!
As for Bea, she’s probably thinking, “Okay, muskets I can handle, but what the heck is a haberdasher?”
Good question, that.
Everyone’s worried about Sept. 16th, 1776. And thought that is marvelously thrilling and all (ACTION ACTION SPOILER ACTION), WHY IS NO ONE MENTIONING SEPT. 22nd, 1776?!? |’D That is what’s really killing me, here.
I’m not so familiar with the history of 1776 (being European, it was just mentioned back in school), but man, do I fear for Nathan. And for Thomas. *hugs them*
I was interested today to find that Hercules Mulligan is an actual historical character. I subscribe to the Redcoat Images mailing list, and found this bit in my inbox today:
“Dear Greg,
Very early this morning on CSPAN there was a program from Fraunces Tavern Museum featuring John Nagy’s new book Invisible Ink which deals with spies and their tradecraft during the AWI. I’ve never met Nagy but his name was familiar to me decades ago when I was at CW.
My reason for mentioning this to you is that during Nagy’s remarks he spoke of a tailor by the rather unusual name of Hercules Mulligan who had a shop in New York and evidently was a source of considerable information concerning British operations emanating from that city. Nagy claim that much of what Mulligan leaned was the result of his eavesdropping on conversations of British officers while they were being fitted for new uniforms or alterations of old ones. That fact, if true, I thought would be of some interest to those with an interest in British uniforms of this period.

Best Regards,
Bart”
Love your comic, even more so as I know you’ve done your research.
