Anime Boston was a fantastic show. Every show I go to I meet more and more Dreamers, and am really grateful to have had the invitation to go to the show, and do my first New England convention. I’ll do an official post-con write up after I’m back from C2E2. For now, I’ll leave you with a pic of some faces whose names you might recognize…
We had a few togas show up!
Meet: Brent, Half Moon, Jen, Moi!, Caera, and Cody.
I’ll give you a sneak peek at the full report: I got to go up inside the Old South Meeting House bell tower for a private (albeit dusty and a little bit scary) tour!
Oh man! I…I do not know what to say to this page. It is full of awesomesauce! LOL!
The bit about the teeth got me…..
Oh, and this has nothing to do with the American Revolution, but I have a confession I must make.
I have become a Lord of the Rings fan!!! :D
ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
happy tears!!
Gooble Gobble! Gooble Gobble!
CONGRATULATIONS! I feel that that’s an important step in living a happy life :)
Welcome to the Fellowship, precious. :)
Thanks, all of you!
The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the company is true.
Oh, and my Elvish name is Elbereth Falassion. Not very elegant, but it works!
Ah, I remember doing that. Five years later, and I’m still a took – Saradas Took, or just Sar to my friends. More appropriate is my orkish name of Wazdúsh the Slobberer, which I…..actually kinda do do a fair bit. I know it’s random, but the fact that I’m still getting the same names 5+ years on has got to mean something, right?
I never got to do the elvish name thing! :( Now I feel like I’ve been cheated out of my LotR fandom.
Welcome to the insanity Amber! :D

You’re welcome.
There’s a name generator? That’s really neat! *runs off to do it*
And…I actually quite like these! Especially the hobbit name: Amarantha Boffin. That actually sounds really pretty. And the Adûnaic name just sounds kickass: Azûllak.
Thanks for posting the link here, Brent!
Once upon a time I downloaded an Elvish dictionary and created a name myself. Elenriel Nimloth. :) Those were the days…
My Elvish name is Luthien Telrunya, and my Hobbit name is Rosey Posey Gamgee-Took of Bywater.
But you can call me Caera. lol
I was going to say something else but I’ve forgotten it.
A LOTR fan? That’s awesome – join the club! *high five*
When we passed the Green Dragon on the freedom trail I began singing the song from Return of the King.
Alright, I’m famous! Kind of! A little bit…..okay, not really.
Lora, I’m just saying now…again….it was awesome meeting you and everybody at the con! Our whole meet-up panel was cool, and i’m honestly still giggling over how you didn’t quite say yes for a certain question. Really, it was great meeting you in person finally, and is it weird to say that you were about as tall as i thought you’d be while still being smaller than i expected? (yeah, that confused me too. Sigh…)
Oh, right, the comic.
Ooo, two Dr. Warren’s for the price of one. Nice…
Also — YAY, HE LIVES!!! Which technically I knew anyway, but still — yay! And I’m not sure who I want to comfort-hug the most in that last panel, ’cause it looks like they all need it.
The IC will be up later, I promise.
How about one big, collective group squeeze? :)
Awww, that’s a good picture of y’all! Look at those lovely people… fellow Dreamers. *happy sigh*
When I read the Facebook description of this update, I thought for sure Alan was going to start dreaming of future Bea, and I was getting equally frightened and excited. I’m kind of relieved it was a dream of Joe. Because I’m not sure my mind could handle all that complicated stuff at this point in the drama. :P
HE LIVES! Yay! *pointedly ignoring that caption*
That’s all, just heralding the good news!
HE’S ALIVE HE’S ALIVE for the 100th Year of the sinking of Titanic and just in time for the flying scene with Bea
I can visualize that! A while back somebody brought up the possibility of continuing Bea and Alan’s story beyond the Revolution era. I think the idea was that they would keep meeting and separating through various incarnations over time until finally being allowed to be together in the present, and I was wondering if anybody else had thought of the Titanic disaster as being one of the possible scenarios. You have to admit it has all the right ingredients for it. 100 years. Wow.
In my “Titanic” scenario Bea’s and Alan’s “positions” would be the opposite of what they are now. Alan would belong to a wealthy, prominent Boston family and Bea would be a third class passenger who’s also an Irish immigrant. They meet, hit it off, ship hits iceberg, etc. The best part about this scenario is that Bea would have a hot Irish accent and the fangirls could drool over Alan in one those old-fashioned tuxedos, which personally always make me think of penguins!
David, thank you so much for that image of Bea in rags with a hot accent.
You’re welcome! I just happen to think Irish accents sound cool. :)
Bea: I’m flying.
Alan: lol
Fantastic goods from you, man. am i prengant quiz when can you get prengant how prengant am i I have understand your stuff previous to and you’re just too magnificent. I really like what you have acquired here, really like what you’re stating and the way in which you say it. You make it entertaining and you still care for to keep it smart. I can not wait to read much more from you. This is actually a wonderful am i prengant quiz when can you get prengant how prengant am i informations.
Bea: Alan, I’m flying.
Irish-accented Bea: Aye, it’s flyin’ I am! :D
Top Web Comics isn’t loading. So sorry, guys! I’ll update it when I can log in.
Poor Alan!
But I gotta hand it to you, Lora: that “fade/morph” effect you had going in the first two panels was full of win and really showed us what Alan was seeing versus the reality. What he said in response to that, though, I found rather hard to stomach. Granted, I KNEW about that point in history and what happened to Joseph, but…I’m just not all that comfortable discussing it, I guess – it still makes me cringe for some reason.
Yeah. I learned about that incident while reading “Paul Revere’s Ride”. Eeewww!
That whole story just gives me the chills *shudders*
I never read “Paul Revere’s Ride” – I just found out via Wikipedia. And even then, it freaked me out. Just a little. I dunno…it’s history, and there’s nothing any of us can do about it, but it’s the sort of thing you’d never wish on anybody, you know?
I am 100-percent with you on that. :(
Chilling.
Great update! I love John more and more with every update. I also think you do a really great job showing us how close Alan is to all of his cousins. The pages give this overwhelming feel of family and connectedness :)
Hope all the cons went well!
A dream within a dream. Hopefully Bea has her totem.
[insert other Princess Bride/Inception references of your choice]
Fantastic page!
I don’t think she needs a totem so much as a constant.
(Daniel Faraday Lost reference for the win!)
FTW!!!
Okay, I don’t get the teeth thing.
I do not understand eather.
Was he shot in the face or had wooden teeth?
All will be revealed. Some folks have “read ahead” via biographies so they’re already in the know. All you NEED to know is that poor Alan delirious.
Good thing to know! I was just about to spill the beans there in answer to the question :P
Yikes. I just read ahead. I don’t remember that from history class!
Gaahh! I hope this doesn’t mean what I THINK it does!
Poor Alan! And John and Bea too…
Thanks for posting the picture! It was great to meet you last weekend. Hope the rest of the trip is going just as well!
John definitely needs a hug, here. I’ve always found it sadly ironic that he spent years digging up bodies with his fellow Spunkers – probably having what amounted to a “good time” in the process – but then had to do the same with his beloved brother’s body, under the worst circumstances. That always sets my stomach in knots.
Okay Lora. If this was the page you were saying would have all three Warrens, I think my computer survived purely because Alan is not looking his best right now. It flickered when the first two panels loaded (or maybe that was just me blinking a lot at the awesomeness), but it didn’t crash because it wasn’t a dreamboat image of Alan in panel 3. :P
Alas. This is as good as you’re going to get!
Aw man I’m slacking! I totally didn’t look for this update until just now!!!!! (even if I’ve already seen it ;P) lol and also I’ve already saved the pix…so look for it floating around facebook soon XD
Yayyyyyyyy I missed The Dreamer!
P.S. Preview on voting isn’t working / not updated – and yes, I cleared my cache :(
All right! 24 hours later TWC finally let me log in. Voting Incentive is fixed!!
….then at long last…
INCENTIVE CAPTION!!!
“Oh my god — they killed Joey!”
“You bastards!”

Sorry I’m running late on commenting on this. After a heavenly weekend with you guys I got stuck in air-plain purgatory and the rest of the week has been totally mad…but I made it.
I was so happy to meet y’all and I’m glad you got kicks out of the toga. And I’m jealous you got a special Meeting House tour, but I can’t complain. Boston was breathtaking. I can’t believe it was just this time last week I was in the Meeting House!
Such a sad page. Poooor Alan.
Likewise- it was so nice to meet you and everyone else!
Holy crap, a comment! X-)
Yeah, but those were awesome times. I’m just bummed I couldn’t see more Boston sights.
Yeah, I agree it was awesome to meet all of you!!!! One of these days we should do something like a toga walk of the Freedom Trail XD
Togas are very hard to walk in, be warned! lol
Maybe you just need a lot more cloth?
lol no harder than high heels!
I just realized my phone auto-corrected “airplane” into “air-plain.” How the HELL does that make any sense? O.o
Maybe the phone thought you meant a plain on the elemental plane of air?? XD
My phone is on crack. XD
Allan…… Is gonna die…. ;( it can’t happen, can it it? just a sickness right.. Hopefully
Super late comment – BUT! That’s…got to be the most sobering VI image I’ve seen for a bit. I honestly just sat there, frozen, and stared at it for a while.
