Maeye: No Sam, you can't swim!
2b.
Maeye: Oh gods!! He's drowning!
3a.
Maeye: Ok. Ok. I knew Frodo was gonna save him. I just knew it.
3b.
Maeye: Aw. Sam is so cute.
TV: I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise!

Maeye: The End?!? What the hell do you mean, The End!
4d.
Maeye: What in the name of Epsca's sweet lily white ass is going on?!?
Maeye: It can't end like this!
Arayanna: Maeye, calm down, love.
5a.
Arayanna: Maeye! Stop!
Arayanna: Calm down. There's more.
Maeye: There's more?
Arayanna: Yes, love. There's more. Two more movies, actually.
5b.
Maeye: Two more?
Arayanna: Yes.
Maeye: Are they as long as this one?
Arayanna: Mmhmm.
Maeye: Maybe I'll take a little nap first. That wore me out.
Arayanna: I think that is an excellent idea.
6a.
Maeye: You wanna join me?
Arayanna: Not right now, love. You rest. I am going to keep busy.
6b.
Maeye: Aray, I'm confused about something.
Arayanna: Ok. What's up?
7a.
Maeye: You said you are from a planet called Elvia, right?
Arayanna: Yes.
Maeye: And in this movie, there are people called Elves. And they look just like you!
Maeye: That's a pretty weird coincidence, don't you think?
7b.
Arayanna: I have wondered about this myself.
Arayanna: These stories were written by a man name Tolkien. But he is not the first Earthling to tell tales of elves.
Arayanna: I suppose at some point some of my people must have lived here on Earth and became the subject of legends.
Maeye: Well, if we could get here, I guess others could, too.
Arayanna: I guess so.
8a.
Arayanna: Sleep well, my love.
8b.
Maeye: Aray, The lord of the Rings, it's not how Earth people lived, right? Their things didn't look like the things in this house.
Arayanna: No, it is not how they lived. It is what they called "fantasy". Their lives were very different.
Maeye: What were they like?
Arayanna: I'll start to show you more tomorrow, ok?
Maeye: After the next two movies, of course.
Arayanna: Of course.
and then The Hobbit and Conan and all the other sword and sandal ones.
After that you can start her on Star Wars and later Babylon 5 and Space;Above and Beyond, then by the time she finishes those, she might be ready for Firefly 🙂
Nah, enough of the fantasy, need to show her some shows set in ‘reality’ (but NO ‘reality shows’)
Maybe a few 20th century war movies, a few cop shows, and some comedies (shows and movies)
Get Maeye use to Earthlings before she has to meet any 😛
Yea…I’m really kind of stuck with this storyline. It would take me ages to show Aray introducing Maeye to all the stuff I would want her to see and hear and experience. I’m probably going to do a couple of montage pages and then we will have to assume that we’ve covered all the important stuff. 😀
Show Maeye some Xena and see what she makes of that, either an instant fan or very confused that the hyoomons know about her.
That would be awesome! 😀 She would definitely love it.
I don’t think she’d care much for ‘war’ movies, she might but that genre is usually on a much different level than fantasy.
Platoon would be a bad choice for her to start with after what they’ve already gone through, Saving Private Ryan even moreso. Rat Patrol, maybe…
It would be a good way to introduce her to the current technology they might have to use or face but go slow, maybe Terminator ? 😉
M*A*S*H, the movie: show her modern fighting but also the humour
Montages were made for just this sort of thing 🙂
In panel 14 about is spelled as abiout. No surprise there, O & I stand next to each other on the keyboard and this happens quite fast and easy.
That is how it is spelled in this particular Earth universe. Weird…
Don´t show her “The game of thrones”.
I might have her read it, but not watch it. 🙂
Maeye is a complete dweeb like the rest of us, LMAO.
ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US!!!!
Yes she is. 😀
How could Aray turn down that behind in panel eleven?
What ever she has keeping her busy has got to be important (just hope she can concentrate on it rather than be distracted by Maeye-butt 😉 )
Maybe because she’s preparing a surprise for Maeye ? Or taking a bath and cleaning up before she’ll go to bed.
Heya friends! Next page is coming soon. Work is kicking my butt. Sorry for the delay!
Question: this webic no longer works on IE InPrivate?
At least the invotives didn’t change to .webp
It does work here on my pc, but I’ve used Edge instead of old Internet Explorer. If that’s the one you meant.
Yeah, the old Explorer, was working fine until a couple days ago, and it’s not the only webic that stopped working, but the other one changed its invotives to .webp 🙁
To be able to see the comicpages in the old IE (<11) Nick will have to add a fallback imagesource to the jpg version in the HTML.
You can find the explanation about the workaround here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71209074/any-workarounds-for-webp-on-internet-explorer
I don't know if Nick can do it because that will use more websitehost storage.
That’s the thing, with this webic, the invotives haven’t been changed to .webp
And, there is no problem with it no longer working in IE, just wanted to check if it was intentional or if it was a problem on this end (a couple others have stopped working, while others still work, and only a couple have changed to .webp)
