New Page #17!
"Next time someone asks me to star in a comic, I refuse to do it unless I get to play the hunky hero, not the comedic relief!"
For you Buckeyes, I’ll also be at Independents Day September 15th, right smack downtown Columbus, Ohio at Gay and Pearl Streets. If you’re in Central, Ohio, make a point to come out. It is an awesome event celebrating our local talent. I’ll be at the author’s tent, selling my Dreamer wares.
Look for me at Booth #1307 at Mid Ohio at the end of the month, too:
*VOTE to preview the next page!*
GAH! NATHAN!!! Now is NOT the time to be clumsy. :/ Same goes for the VI–You pull that foot out carefully.
Oooohh *huggles plushy* Lora we’re getting awfully close to the 22nd IRL and Bea’s already upon it–if you time it so we lose Nathan on Friday the 21st it’s going to ruin the end of my vacation and Owl-City week. :P Somehow I don’t think we’re going to though…I think Nathan’s SOL but to do it in only so many more updates it wouldn’t be fair to him.
So in other words, DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! XD
I agree. That’s the day before a friend’s wedding, and I don’t want to have to spend it sobbing about Nathan Hale.
Oh dear!
Wait— you’re going to an Owl City concert on Nathan’s Death Day? Kick a man while he’s down, why don’t you!
Hhheeeellllll no. The concerts are on the 19th and 20th. How could you even think that I would–?!?!!
Whew! Okay. I feel better…
Honestly I am surprised at you, not knowing me better. Adam may be Awesome but he will always have to share me with Nathan. Lol
Hey, I visited the local Nathan Hale statue AND went to an Owl City concert on the same day! There is obviously a sacred connection… somehow…
Every time Caera talks about this Adam what-his-name fellow I feel like she’s cheating on Nathan. I can’t help it!
Heaven forbid the girl ever gets married. XD
@Faith: the fact Nathan and Adam keep getting intertwined around in my head and my daily life DEFINITELY means there’s a link. It’s probably me.
@Lora: Adam YOUNG faces the same challenge any man who gets my attention does: Love me, love Nathan. But seeing as neither man is attainable I don’t think we have anything to worry about. It’s hard to cheat on someone who died centuries before me with someone who doesn’t know me, and is miles above the earth I crawl on.
Pretty soon I’ll be “too old” for Nathan, at that…O.o Literally Forever 21.
“Oooohh *huggles plushy* Lora”
That’s what we all need – plushy Lora’s
Probably not a good idea, considering whats coming. The fangirls would get so upset they might try some kind of voodoo, and then we might not have any comic.
Did we reply at the same time? XD
ha ha, that would be so creepy. There’s a short distance between a plushy doll and a voodoo doll once a fan gets angry. XD
I would never voodoo you!
Paging David Bowie…..
I knew that was coming.
Up on the rooftop, Nathan falls
in-to wait-ing lob-ster claws.
Down on the ground they’ll wait for him –
the would-be spy from New London.
Yeah, that’s the stuff. Let’s hope no one thinks to look up.
INCENTIVE CAPTION!!!
Nathan: “What the…..how did they fit a couch into the girls bathroom?”
…Are you turning Christmas songs into Nathan-demise songs? I don’t know if that should merit a smack or a gold star…
As for the caption, I have a funny story for you related to couches and rooftops…
*cue room blur and harp strum-up*
Frat boys do strange things.
My friend Daniel is not in a fraternity, but drove past a frat house with one of his friends in the passenger seat after one of Baylor’s numerous sporting victories last year. Daniel sees a sofa on the roof of the house.
“There…why…is there a sofa on the roof?” Daniel points, stunned. His friend turns to see where he’s pointing and only says one word:
“AGAIN!?!?!”
*scene fades, harp strum-down*
Needless to say, Daniel found her comment more stunning than the sofa itself.
@Brent: …You should see the waiting room in Centenial Hall here, it’s better than most doctor’s offices…
@Caera: A smack. Deffinatly a smack.
I’m willing to take both…..it just came into my head and wouldn’t leave, is all.
HA! Okay, you win this week, Brent!
Wow, Brent. I am with Caera. I do not know whether to slap you or praise you for the genius you are!
Because that poem was well… Brilliant. Let me try..
*clears throat*
Oh Nathan, Oh Nathan!
You meet your doom on a cold day in September
Your bravery we will always remember!
The redcoats’ hearts were cold as ice
as they watched you pay freedom’s price
Calmly and without fear
You said for all to hear
“I only regret I have one life to give for my count!”
…All the Nathan Hale fangirls will cry
The day that Nathan Hale will die
Oh what a sad date!
The day our hero meets his fate
Our hearts will break
And all we will be left with is a throbbing ache.
*country. Stupid blog gremlins.
Aw, thanks, though yours was way better. Mine was basically just altered lyrics to “Up on the housetop”
That’s what made it funny.
:-D
Also……
Brent – 2
Caera – 1
Jen – 1
David – 1
Faith – 1
@Brent: Game on.
;)
Funny, I sang that to the tune of Three Blind Mice… XD
You left us a cliff hanger! LOL or roof hanger?! IDK but it makes me laugh and want to cry at the same time. Awesome update.
THAT LAST PANEL GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!!!! T.T I really want to wear my Nathan tshirt to bed and just cuddle my Nathan pillow now…
Who says you can’t? I am!!!
lol us and our comidic relief!
GREMLIN ATTACK!!!
…..Fate Undoes Colonel Knowlton!
Oro?
*trembles*
Why Can’t we have Doctor Who come in and save Nathan?!!!
Probably for the same reason he couldn’t save Pompeii, timeline issues… or it could just by copyright…
lol, I love being surround by geeks :)
If The Doctor can’t do it perhaps someone ELSE with a TARDIS can.
@Caera: Didn’t you once say you’d recently “acquired” one?
LOL Caera and I have been trading back and forth…not sure who has it right now though…Time’s gone all wibbly wobbly again
I don’t have it. Else I’d have used it instead of driving to and from Dallas on a holiday weekend.
So he gets caught by falling through/off a roof? Having never studied this particular historical incident in any depth, I somehow imagined it being more…. dramatic and less National Lampoon’s Revolutionary War.
What does Harry tell Ron? These things always sound more heroic in the retelling.
You can study Nathan Hale all you want: this is the part of his story no one can agree on. And since we have no evidence or records about it, that makes it all the more fun!
Don’t you just <3 to tweak history like that? :D
It’s this sort of thing that lets me think that dinosaurs really did have cars
You have to wonder what the cars would have run on since the dinosaurs themselves were still around and therefore hadn’t yet been transformed into petroleum. Electricity? Solar power?
I’m thinking water or sap
(this question really doesn’t have much to do with the drama Nathan is facing right now, but…) Can someone please tell me how to add a picture to my little avatar thing?

Don’t worry if it doesn’t start working right away. Sometimes it takes a day to get active.
Lora I will find a way to bribe you into saving Nathan. There has to be a way!
Everyone has a price. Mine is 10 strands of Alexander Hamilton’s hair: http://www.historyforsale.com/html/prodetails.asp?documentid=250630&start=1
Let me go drop out of college and then I can go buy that for you! Haha
How much would it cost me for Bea to apply to F&M? Haha
If I was wealthy, I’d so buy that for you to see Nathan survive (even if it’s in a “non-canon” side-story issue).
Um. On the creepy-factor scale: 10 stands of AH hair > Lora plushies o.O
Not so!!
Think of all the fun you can have with Hamilton hair once cloning is perfected. Err… wait. Perhaps I just want it so it doesn’t fall into someone else’s hands. I think one term on this earth was enough for Mr. Hamilton.
Though really, he would’ve loved to have gotten his hands on some real-life Virginia invasion in the Civil War. Sad he didn’t live to see that day. #notreally
Rogers: “I know him from somewhere and he doesn’t smell right.”
Henchman: *mumbles* “After a week of non-stop spy hunting in the countryside he ain’t exactly fresh as a daisy himself.”
Rogers: “I HEARD that!”
Henchman: “Sorry, dude, but you are gettin’ kinda’ ripe. Phew!”
Ha!
You and Brent always come up with the funniest comments!
Why, thank yew!
Yay, looking forward to Mid-Ohio Con this month. Unfortunately it looks like we won’t be near each other – although, Alan’s at least across the isle from me.
Still, we’ll have a blast!
Oh, we’ll all be packed into my house like sardines. Maybe the separation at the show will keep us from killing each other. XD
Poor Nathan, nothing is going right for him, at least Bea’s escape attempts, during the last update, seemed to be going better than his.
Bea still has to get out of the school. Remmember what I said about possible security cameras? And then there’s always those pesky hall monitors!
I’ll bet Liz is a hall monitor. She seems the type!
Harvard boy rips a rain gutter off of a dorm building. Yale boy sticks his foot through a tavern roof. I’m beginning to think I didn’t miss anything by not going to an Ivy League school.
…just splinters.
Oh, Nathan. Now you’ve gone and stepped in it… AND you forgot your Old Spice. *despairs*
So long as he doesn’t spray any of the Axe crap.
Nathan Hale IS…. the man your man could spy like
Oh dear that’s not good.
LOL
