Thank Dionysus, it’s Friday!
Hello Drunken Fools!
There was something I started a while back called “Drunken Spotlight” where I would present a webcomic I like/discovered/etc.. For no reasons, I never did it. So I decided to bring it back! The content of the article has nothing to do with alcohol, being drunk, etc.. But It’s just fit with the website so… erm…
I do have a huge list of webcomics I want to read. The thing is, there is no way I would start reading a webcomic without going through its entire archives, starting from the beginning. So that explains why I have a long list, I don’t always have the time to do so. But I did realize last night that it is easier to do it, when sitting on the couch, Hockey game in the background and the Tablet PC in my hands and start reading a webcomic.
So last night I decided to do that. I picked one webcomic that looked interesting. Surely enough, I went through the entire archives and I loved it!
The webcomic is called “The Dreamer” and is written and drawn by Lora Innes

The Dreamer is about a seventeen years old girl, Beatrice, living two different lives. One life, in the 21st century, where she is an High School Senior student; and the other life, a seventeen years old girl, in a very detailed dream, with her 21st century memories. But this dream brings her back in 1776, right at the beginning of the US Independence War.
The hero is struggling between dream & reality. But today, while she seems to know what reality is and what dream is, will this last? My personal question is, which is really the reality and which is really the dream? Wooooa!
I really enjoyed going through all issues of The Dreamer and will keep following its regular updates going forward.
What really caught my attention and what really made this comic extremely enjoyable for me is the Historical style of the comic. A few years back( few isn’t really the word now), I did study to get my bachelor degree in History. While this University was pushing (a bit too much) for Canadian and Quebec history, I didn’t get the chance to get enough of international history. So I never had the chance to learn more on the US Independance War. I did stopped near the end of my studies, I got tired of Canadian/Quebec History. But when I see comics like The Dreamer, some part of what used to be a passion (history) is coming back to me
Also, I think if you look at the comic, we can easily add a beautiful and amazing art style to the comic. Art and Story are merging together as a whole!
If I had to give one little comment to Lora would be to have a RSS feed for the Comic itself. But at least she does have one for the blog and it will help me to follow the new updates
Also, Lora will be sharing a table at C2E2 with Alan from Rival Angels. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to meet them and have a chat!
Please go check it out!
Cheers!
