1-70 Running for safety
In the Netherlands we have a saying that could apply to this episode… “van de regen in de drup”. Which means that an already bad situation is about to get worse…
Dreams!
For some reason Darryl still thinks he’s dreaming. I can’t remember the last time I had such a life like dream. I did have some in the past; my car got stolen, or a plane crashed on my neighborhood or world war tree started and I was standing in the street watching nuclear missals coming down on me or I missed my exams or something I can’t even begin to tell here because it was such a bizarre dream which took place in some kind of labyrinth. I liked each and every dream…. after I woke up. Within my dream, I was just hoping it was a dream… And I was hoping that I would wake up…. which I finally did. I was so happy to be awake. Soooo, what was your favorite dream? And do you like it because of the dream itself, or d you like it because you were so happy that it was just a dream?
Most times dreams I remember are bad dreams. So bad that they awake me, sometimes in the middle of the night. I’m in such a strange mood, cause I now the dream is over (it takes me a moment though to realise it) but the situation was so bad and real in the same time that I’m still pissed about it. I can carry it all morning until lunch somedays ! Good news is that it does happen so often.
About the episod, again great work. I really love the way you work. So far I haven’t seen such a beautiful webcomic (I hope Dave from Bricks of the Dead is not reading this). detailed backgrounds, perfect use of day light, nice balance between humor and story, well developing original story at a good rythm, well shaped bubbles… It’s only 70 episods (well still a nice accomplishement !) so far but keep everything running like this it’s near perfection stuff (at least for me…)
Hah, when I had these dreams (once a year maybe in maximum). I wake up being very, very happy that it was a dream. Usually I’ll have a good day then. Thanks for the very kind words. I just try my best… and hope Dave does read this, knowing that we both love his comic too 😉
How long do you think it will take for Darryl to realize he’s not dreaming?
I really don’t know, to be honest. I would think he should know by now. Maybe he’s in denial?
Mine was me being a shapeshifting smoke-like creature that turns to smoke and then to something else. Enjoyable!
The best nightmare though, was a giant bumblebee chasing me around my house like a Weeping Angel and at the end hugging me from behind.
In Bulgarian we say ”От трън та на глог” which means like when you try to get out of a bush with spikes, you instead jump into another with more spikes. Otherwise, “From spike to spikes.”
“from spikes to spikes”
In Dutch we have a similar saying. “van de wal in de sloot” (literaly: from the shore into the ditch/water) In English I think they say “out of the frying into the fire”.
