I love this comic. I've read Gigi's stuff since back when she was making Ace Attorney comics, and I was really pleased to see her start her own original comic last year.

One of my favorite little things about the CQ is the character page Zorak mentioned. It's a clever and funny way to present the characters.

We don't talk about Bacon.

I put up $35 an hour ago when it was still in the low hundreds.

Now there's already 6,000 dollars. That's pretty impressive. She's gonna exceed her goal in a few hours.

It's okay, Splashmaster. I'm sure that was an easy mistake to make.

I like the extra information about the different lands of Dreamside and how you can tell who comes from where by the shape of their ears. It really makes me excited to see where this comic is gonna take us since there are some very interesting locales to be explored.

Such as the moon kingdom - where Cosmo comes from.

Well...... (spoilers from the CQ book) One of the 7 kingdoms is on the moon... and Cordelia comes from another world!

It says "SMASHD BUNY HOWS" and has a bunch of tally marks:

Unless Cucumber is going to have an entire gang of princesses following him around, I don't think that's very likely.

(Obviously now that I've said it this is exactly what's going to happen. Princesses everywhere.)

That's not a scene change - it's just a preview page for the extra story in the CQ book.

Regy Rusty

They look great, and the bonus story and background information (which also includes clues as to where the CQ story is going down the line) makes it totally worth it.

She's in on it, I'm putting my hat down on it.

She's certainly a part of the "accepted" program, with her role in sending the Hero on a quest every time. You'd think if she really cared about stopping Nightmare Knight, after thousands of years she'd have figured out a way to do it for good.

Alright now's the part where we control Princess Peach Parfait and spy on the villains a lil' bit.

I wonder what Peridot was doing that was important to her. From the specific time during the week, my guess is that she's taking a page out of Almond's book and studying up on some Punisher Pumice (or other educational TV show).

You can tell which kingdom a character is from by their ears. So far only the Melody and Sky kingdoms have had zero representatives.

Actually I think we've seen all the ear types if you follow her Tumblr.

Doughnut Kingdom : Normal Ears (3/4 of the main characters)
Ripple Kingdom : Curved Ears (Nautilus)
Crystal Kingdom : Angular Ears (Peridot)
Space Kingdom : Space symbols on the inner surface (Cosmo the inventor)
Flower Kingdom : Tufted Ears (Saturday and Brambleby)
Melody Kingdom : Folded Ears (This dude)
Sky Kingdom : Curled Ears (Princess Sunshine)

Her tumblr and the extras in the book are the reason we even know about the ear types in the first place. In comic we haven't seen the last two.

Also there's additionally "Weird Cat Ears" like Cordelia which signify coming from another dimension or something. :iiam:

Oh, and Bacon is a weirdo but he's still got rabbit ears - http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/archive/page-22/

No, that's the king who was turned to stone by Peridot when she and Cordelia took the castle.

Cool. I just wanted to know considering that I come across 5"x7" postcards a lot, perhaps even more often than 4"x6" ones, thus my confusion.

You made me paranoid enough to pull out a ruler and check. I can confirm that they're 4"x6".

So have we actually seen the Nightmare Knight do anything evil? What are the odds that he just wanted to bring stable leadership and houses made from actual construction materials to Dreamside and they just blew it out of proportion like they do with everything else?

How about his servant's kidnapping of the princess* and destruction of ships? He's definitely unleashed the Disaster Masters to do some bad things.

I see the dating system in Dreamside takes a cue from Geno's real name.

It's also taking a cue from the dating system in the first Paper Mario game.

Not via Kickstarter, no. Sometimes people will have a paypal donation thing set up alongside Kickstarter that counts towards the goal, but I don't think Gigi has done that.

When will we get to see Noisemaster's character profile, come to think of it?

She usually tends to update them several characters at a time. (I think we got Nautilus and Splashmaster at the same time for example.) So maybe once we properly meet Princess Piano?

So Noisemaster has another side to him... but it's one he keeps hidden even from his boss.
