New Page #19!
This week I stumbled across a hilarious meme about The Dreamer on Tumblr. It led me down a rabbit hole of Dreamer-themed Tumblr posts I had no idea existed. (I’m really sorry that I killed Dr. Warren and Col. Knowlton, guys. …Forgive me?)
In lieu of this discovery, I created a Tumblr feed just for collecting and reblogging Dreamer posts. I’ll also add sketches and behind-the-scenes peeks, too. The fun part is, you can submit YOUR posts and contribute, too. Let’s get the party started!
* * *
I have the honor of having been asked to be on two Comics Symposiums at art schools next month: CCAD and the Academy of Arts.
If you live on the west coast, I will be out to California twice this fall! I don’t know when I’ll be back—these were unique circumstances—so make plans to see me if you are in the LA or Bay Area. Three California events to pick from!
A listing of my upcoming appearances through the end of the year:
Independents Day September 15th, downtown Columbus, Ohio Street Fair from 11AM to 6PM.
Wizard World Ohio, Sept 28-30, Columbus, Ohio.
MIX: Comics Symposium, Oct 6, Columbus College of Art & Design, Columbus, Ohio. (I’ll be giving a presentation at the Extraordinary Epics panel, as well as be a panelist on the Independent Comics panel. Non-students can attend! Check out the registration information.)
Comic Symposium, Oct 11, Academy of Art University, San Francisco, California from 4 to 6 PM. (Yes, this event is open to the public!)
APE (Alternative Press Expo), Oct 13-14, San Francisco, California.
CTNx, November 16-18, Burbank, California.
*VOTE to preview the next page!*
I didn’t know about this tumblr either. Must investigate.
Poor Nathan. Your scar is wonderful but it really does get you into trouble. :(
The VI: Poor Nathan again! If I messed up THAT bad I’d LET them kill me—oh wait, don’t tell me he ups and surrenders because he feels bad. *headdesk* Nathan!!!! *glomp* Just hit the reset button!
…there’s a RESET BUTTON? Why wasn’t I told this BEFORE Knowlton died? D: (Was it because y’all were afraid I’d break it? Probably.)
Only Nathan has the Great Big Red Button that must never be pressed.
Why not? Would the Space/Time Continium go all higgelty-piggelty?
Only the Doctor knows…
My reaction to the VI: “Nathan is a Sith Lord?!”
And Washington is a Jedi, apparently: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lty7qf1R8U1qhuqywo1_500.jpg
(From a T-shirt design cleverly called “The Empire Strikes Back”.)
Love it! So epic!
I want that T-shirt now!!
MY BRAIN!!!! *dies*
This can’t be beat! Awesome link, Faith! Congrats!
Wait who gets it?
Oh Nathan! Nothing is going right for you this issue. I suggest you go to the tumblr and have some cupcakes, there’s one with a spontoon and several with your name on them!
If we made cupcakes for his birthday, what should I do on his death day? IT’S TOO SOON!
I vote everyone does this: http://www.anysoldier.com
That’s the best idea. Ever.
:)
Um, can someone tell me what that site is because when I load it all the graphics and the words are on top of each other and I can’t for the life of me read it.
You can send letters and presents to soldiers overseas. <3
Well…we know which friend can’t keep a secret! And I love Nathan in the next to last panel…
I’m going to try something:
VI CAPTION:
Nathan: “…Uh oh… There goes the last of the cozy collection!”
Yeah, I can imagine a huge fight is about to break out.
TEA COZIES!! We haven’t seen them in awhile.
Yeah… because Nathan and the rest of the gang were hiding them…
But, obviously since their position has been compromised, Hamilton decided to burn them.
Lol, Knowlton’s GOT to rolling in his grave by now…both in real life and Dreamerverse!
He should have had them buried with him.
Oooo! Then the afterlife would be soooo cozy!
HA! I love a good pun ^_^
Huzzah for puns!
To pun, T’is fun!
To pun or not to pun, that is the question.
There is no question there,
For in punning, all is fair!
I just want to give both Nathan and Bea a big hug. Neither of them look like they’re having much fun.
Also, be cautious about Tumblr. It looks normal at first, but the deeper and deeper you delve the more you get sucked in. It’s like Narnia.
And now there are Dreamer posts on it! *goes to reblog all the things*
Where do I find gifs that I can use for the “If I were Bea” meme? lol
Google them. That’s what I did. Pick a movie or emotion and roll with it!
The Dreamer Tumblr feed was a GREAT idea. I was totally laughing at some of the funny GIFS on there :-D
And Lora, I’m so excited you’re coming to California but I don’t think I can make it over there to see you :’-( I am determined to meet you one day, though! You are my favorite artist (besides classic painters like Bouguereau) ;-) and you’re doing such a great job with the Dreamer comic. You make Wednesdays and Fridays specialer. :-)
Thank you! Who knows, I may be back one day.
Whoa…..that’s just kinda sad, Liz. John, give her a hug, stat. And as for you, Nathan….. subtlety, boy, that’s the word.
INCENTIVE CAPTION!!!
Nathan: “The city? Oh, Lord, just hang me now…..”
(or, for happy thoughts….)
Nathan: “Wow…..I really hope people don’t remember me for this.”
Pain.
Tears.
Agony.
Despair.
Sorrow.
Lol. Ran out of reply buttons.
Angst?
Late last night,
While we were all at war,
Young Mr. Hale left a candle with inn keeper,
And when a guest kicked it over,
He winked his eye and said “It’s gonna be a hot time,
“In the old town,
“Tonight!”
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Another entry for the Dreamer Poet Society.
Lol, nope! Just a revised camp song…It’s “Old Lady Leary”
Dreamer Song-Rewrite Society.
lol I guess that works :)
0:D We should do song-parodies for our next fanart palooza theme.
“‘Wa-a-a-a-r’, ‘S’ not always a good time!’”
“Op! Op op oppa REBEL-STYLE!”
“I want your love and I want your revenge you and me could write a GOOD romance.”
“Hey John. Don’t be a jerk! Get a starbuzz, and take it to he-e-er!”
“CAAAAN you feel the FLAAAAMMEEES Tonight–it’s all Nathan’s fault!”
Nathan: Caera, would you PLEASE–!
Me: It’s ok Nathan, you know I love you and I only pick on those I love. *huggles*
Nathan: …*sigh*
Can’t…stop…LAUGHING!!!! And can we make a Little Priest parody???????
Little Priest? Somehow I think that simple question probably replaced your laughter with shock and horror.
no it didn’t…it’s not that popular. Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kBuIdkcuQY
Ah ok.
Yes? No? maybe? Too morbid?
After all the things I’ve said? Never too morbid. lol
LOL!!!!
Nathan: ….I’m the Poet aren’t I?
Hammy: At least you’re not the Fop.
Now, Hammy, remember Casanova was a Fop but the ladies didn’t seem to mind. You’re going to make out just fine. Trust me on this! You’ll be getting PLENTY of action!
If by “plenty” you mean “too much.”
With Hammy’s charm??? The Doctor will owe him TWO chickens!
Do you ladies realize that you just broke the reply button record? That is the longest replies I have seen in ages.
I have something! Maybe this is the fight between Scar and Mufasa! You know, the flames…..
Nathan of course, being Mufasa.
Scar would be Robert.
Nala would be Beatrice.
You guys figure out the rest.
Alan = Simba?
Hahaha!! This is hilarious! You guys have way too much time on your hands.
OMG! Squee!!!! That would be awesome!!!! Buuuuut….A different version that I feel might fit better with the characters:
Mufasa: Knowlton
Scar: Howe
Simba: Freddie
Timon: Alan
Pumba: Nathan
Nala: Liz
Or maybe this?
Mufasa: Knowlton
Scar: Howe
Simba: Alan
Timon: Hammy
Pumba: Nathan
Nala: Beatrice
I think I love that first panel best of all on this page. I’m trying to think of what it reminds me of, something from a movie. But my brain isn’t fully functioning yet. Might have to drink some CocaCola on the way to work.
VI – wow. The guilt. I feel his guilt! Fan-freaking-tastic art!
I know, that first one is so epic. But Nathan’s mole is missing! Or is it just hiding?
John’s kind of annoying me, oh dear.
I just want to give Nathan a hug!!!! Oh hey Lora don’t you think Nathan deserves a hug from a ginger before he goes? Haha
Oh yes, absolutely. Soldiers always love the affection of adoring girls.
Especially when those girls are me and the soldier in question is Nathan…or Prince Harry! Haha
Apparently the Taliban now have Harry on their hit list….
Pffft! lol The Taliban has ME on their hit list. Anyone who’s not Taliban is on the Taliban’s hit list.
They can’t have him! Prince Harry is protected by bands of young girls!
“John’s kind of annoying me, oh dear…”
Isn’t that what male cousins do?? But we love them anyway!
Just so long as the ginger in question isn’t John. ;-)
Correction “don’t you think Nathab should hug a ginger GIRL before he goes?”
Not sure who Nathab is, but sure! ;-)
And all the while, Nathan gets hugs from the brunette. *hugs Nathan*
(my iPhone hates me)
Then after hugging the brunette Nathan hugs a ginger (girl). And love ensues
My mind could go somewhere very wrong right now but I will maintain a front of decency. lol
VI: “I knew I should have just kept my mouth shut. I should have kept it shut back at the Fighting Cocks, I should have kept it shut when I first met Roger, and I DEFINITELY should have kept it shut when Knowlton mentioned the whole idea about spying. Something should have gone off in my head. A little voice of wisdom saying, “no, Nathan, bad things will happen”. Most people have one of those. Maybe I just don’t.”
Oh oh, where is this froooommmmm….I know this….
I made it up, lol. Not from anywhere :)
I’m glad some of Bea’s friends are calling her out for her behavior. They are reacting normally considering they don’t know what’s going on and Bea has been less then there for Liz recently. But Nathan, oh my poor boy.
I’m glad I’m not the only one to feel this way! I feel bad for Liz… I bet she’ll be the one called the bad guy here but I’d be upset if I felt like my friend all of a sudden started being eccentric. I’d be concerned and mad that I felt she was throwing away her school work for what rationally seems like nonsense.
Maybe next time he buys you coffee you throw it in his face and ask for a latte instead, eh Bea?
Yeah, talking behind someone’s back…sadly something that doesn’t end with high school. But should have.
Given what her definition of “coffee” is, I think his face would probably end up melting off if that happened.
Indiana Jones and the Coffee of Doom?
John officially lost all of the points he earned with his concerned endearment a few pages back! :(
So basically you’re saying John is being John. Any affection we have for him can’t last more than a page or two.
It’s amazing how similar the two Johns of the Dreamerverse are when it comes to their personalities. Coincidence? I don’t THINK so!
Apparently I’m on similar wavelength with Half Moon, but first thought for the VI was to do something with cozies. Perhaps
“I knew I shouldn’t have eaten that third tea cozy!”
His heartburn is so bad now you can see it up to his eyeballs.
Guys, there is so much insanity this week, how do I pick just one gold star comment…?!
Gold Silver and Bronze?
LOL. We need to keep Brent’s calculations easy on him. ;)
Did you do one for the previous post? You could do two this time around if you didn’t.
I believe no one got a star for the last update either, or at least last time I checked
All right, all right, I’ll give it to Faith for that amazing link!
Now we’re all happy
….and that means
Brent – 2
Caera – 1
Jen – 1
David – 1
Faith – 2
Also, for those wondering page 18 didn’t have a winner but since its not a contest I didn’t really think that matters too much.
Yeeeeah. Sorry about that. I was on vacation!
I get the 100th comment!!! Mwahahahaha!!!!!!!
