No matter how many times I have reread this story, this page makes me cry every single time.

Takashi is so cute and sweet! I agree with Courtney as well, I don't see Takashi as being guilty, more that he really cares a lot for Elanor and her family. Did I spell Elanor's name right?

Since this has been happening to both of them since birth, it also means each is fluent in the language and culture of two countries. Technically, both Elanor and Takashi have had 2 distinct lives. Fascinating. I am really going to enjoy coming here on Mondays to follow this intriguing story.

The artwork is enchanting... one could even say it has a dreamlike quality. It is both realistic, but the edges are softened; it reminds me of my own dreams. Fantastic job on both the writing and the artwork... your collaboration is perfect, as if the story was being written and illustrated by the same person.

Love it. Thanks you both.
For me, the current story part feels like the rush to bring over the background story.
Later, the story will slow down, when things are happening.
In comparison to other comics, there simply are no captions telling you "five years later..."
You have to read it from the context.

Anyway, thanks Bobby, and Kudos to both artists!

Wow... That's some wonderful script work Bobby :D I am amazed by your talents XD You and Sarah both!

I wonder how Elanor's Mother died... And why do I get the impression that there is some kind of personality switch going around between Elanor and Takashi?

Now, that is depressing. Poor little Takashi. So sweet of him to skip school just to go to Elanor's mother funeral. I don’t know what else to say about it.
I just have to say that this story gets better every time I read the following page.

I like the Takashi part most, I think. (although I also like the close-up of the eye, but I can't tell if I like the art or the idea most...) I went to my grandmother's and grandfather's funerals, but I didn't cry at either one (my dad cried at my grandmother's funeral - well why not, she was his mom - but I don't remember him crying afterward), so for Takashi to cry so much and really want to go to her mother's funeral, even though she wasn't really his family, makes it sound as though he really cares a lot.
Hmm... Takashi must know it's as real as his life... I wonder if he's ever told anyone, especially his parents, and if not, what they thought of him crying so much and how he could keep it from them.

Gah webcomic artist not writer... fever delirium.

Re: DREAMLESS

ER — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 21:29:49 -0000

I love the fact that my favourite webcomic author and my favourite webcomic writer have teamed up without my even realising it. And! that they are writing a story idea that I've actually had myself, ah the joys of collective unconcious brain crack.

I'm wondering if Takashi and Elanor are actually switched. Like, perhaps Takashi really belonged in Elanor's family, and Elanor was supposed to be in Takashi? Perhaps this is why it hit him so hard? On a side note, BEAUTIFUL job on this page. It's so gorgeous and realistic...the third and fifth panals are my favorite.

Beautiful art and a great story. Did any of you notice that Monday never seems to come fast enough?

Elanor seems more cold and distant than Takashi. Maybe a better word to describe it is detached. She doesn't take the news of losing her mother like other little girls would, and she's surprisingly precocious. I'm excited to see if we get to know more about Takashi now, and how his family reacted to his dreaming.

Oh, this was gorgeous. I felt my stomach sink a little - great writing, wonderful visual execution. I like the last panel the best - he's in the same pose as Elizabeth when she's getting pushed in the drawer.

Personally, I think Takashi's taking it harder /because/ he's not physically a member of the family. It's like reading a great book/series/movie; while you as the reader are not taking part in the action at all, you become emotionally invested in the characters. When one of them dies, it hits you. If I could attend the funerals of Sirius Black from Harry Potter, or Scar from The Lion King, I would. You may not agree with my character choices, but you can probably find a parallel in books you've read/movies you've seen.

I don't need to see it; I was just wanted to know because I was curious (and I'm a bit geek :P). I also thought that it would make an interesting discussion. Although I do admit, the way that I posted it did seem a bit sketchy because the explaination got caught off. :(

I was just wanted to know what their average day might be like when they were in elementary school. If what I posted is true than it would mean that when they were elementary school- they spent most of their time together watching each other’s life at school. Just imagine have to sit through almost an entire school day twice in one day when your 8 years old! Talk about cram school! I just assuming that since at this point in time their parents were probably enforcing a bedtime and these two kids were forced to go to school at a certain time. The schedule is more of a predicted average. But Zilla you are correct in that it probably would change frequently- especially when they are older. But its still a fun thing for me to think about.

Any ways so far the writing is and great and artwork is gorgeous. I can't wait for the next update!

Its the doll going into the draw but I think its very symbolic of her Mother's death.

I get the impression that the Mother probably died that day simply because she said it was her last tea party with Elizabeth, which gave me the impression she was going away (maybe to boarding school)

I love this page so much. I read it and it literally took my breath away.
Bobby and Sarah, you guys rock. :)

What a breathtaking page.

Zilla — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 08:56:54 -0000

Sigh. Akaydia, why exactly do you need to know their sleeping patterns? I think you're forgetting a very simple fact: they're human. And as such have entire control over their sleeping patterns, and are likely to change frequently. All you really need to know is who is sleeping/awake at a point something is happening in the story.

Beautiful page :) I thought Takashi staying home from school to be there for her mother's funeral was very sweet. The darker borders are a nice touch too considering the content. It was also very obvious to me it was the doll going into the draw in the first panel, especially when read straight after the previous page, I actually giggled when I read someone thought it looked like her mother :P sorry, heehee.

Not to mention the ribbon in the dolls' hair. Plus if it was a casket, Elanor's hand would be on the top half, not the bottom.

And nice contribution, bunky.

"Because for a moment I thought it was the mother in a casket."

Eyes open. How creepy. I think it's pretty clear at a glace that it's the doll,w hat with the hair color.

"I've seen a few comments that perhaps Takashi felt guilty over Elanor's mother's death."

Thanks for reminding me to comment on that: He wouldn't feel guilty because he doesn't know that Elanor's mother overheard her, just like Elanor doesn't know (didn't see her).

I pretty much agree with everything Courtney said.
