If you look closely, you can see the small color right under Alex’s right (left?) eye, showing that the lighting is actually covering the bruise. And the one on his chin, was there as well. On the previous page, you’ll also see a hint of his bruise on his lower chin at the last panel. So it’s the light that’s covering the bruises.
something i didnt notice before but makes me wonder.. why is it that Alex is so messed up in the reg world and yet in Dreamland he looks as though he didnt just get beat by a giant lizarda nd almost drowned.. no bruises, he looks perfectly fine.. wouldnt he have bruises there to? or does he not bruise in dreamland or something im confused!
hmm disappearing welts on the cheeks the red ones and replaced by the bruises, what happened to them they looked better then what you did with the 2 we have now
Hm. I noticed that there’s a slightly odd “position switch” between panel 1 and 2.
In panel 1, Nicole is sitting with her legs in front of her, fully BEHIND Dan.
In panel 2, Dan’s back is so close to the bed that nobody could possibly fit in there. Also, there is not much room in front of him either, so it is unlikely that he just moved backwards between the two panels.
So, I guess some twitching (“cheating” 😉 ) is necessary to get the right beautiful views (like Nicole filling the background) sometimes, right?
I was actually backtracking from #1298 to see when she started putting her arm around Dan… 🙂
OOO, first
Love the sheepish look….”alomst perfectly”
Yes, if it worked perfectly, you wouldn’t look like someone tried to tenderize you.
DAAWWW.. I loooove the loving and proud looks Dan and Nicole give each other.
Holmes! The bruise has moved!
Is it lighting, or have the left-cheek one really drop down to Al’s chin?
I still don’t see the sword around his neck…
5th – Yahoo!
Couldn’t resist.
Darn, so close.
My clock says it 12:10. What’s up.??
“Almost” and “if” are such powerful liddle words…
Dun dun duh… so, now how does he get back to Dreamland?

(in best humperdink voice)…I have a bruise?
oh shoot, did i mix up movies again? i think i did. i have a habit of mixing up Robin Hood: Men in Tights with Princess Bride.
epic nerd fail.
The sword necklace is under his t-shirt.
This is something that happened before: it seems that he “lost” it but the necklace is always there.
I think any general will tell you that ‘Worked’ is good enough 🙂
alex: expect for the part where i almost drowned, otherwise it went fine.
YIKES!! Talk about leaving a mark….
Your majesty, wasn’t your bruise the other side?
I have a bruise?!?!
Hmm… I still think something fishy is up, and I ain’t talking about cod!!! O_O
Also, is it me or does Nicole REALLY look like a doting mother in that third panel!?! /_/

I still say he looks like he belongs in Twilight!

I think it’s just the lighting. He was in deeper shadow after he was pulled out of the water. It’s just lighter in the room.
@halfmoon Really? You would go that far to disgrace this comic by even mentioning Twilight? Ugh…
Tenderized Alexander…Hero #1, Punching Bag #1.
woooooow.
remind me not 2 get in2 a fist-fight in dreamland!

Personally, I prefer to avoid fistfights anywhere, if at all possible …

Alex: “Your plan almost worked perfectly…”
Daniel: “How ‘almost?'”
Nastajia: “Ohhhh…what happened?”
Nicole: *thud*
