    Well, there goes the whole “not the king’s brother” thing. 😉 Love Podge and her stinky first aid for Pol.

    I hope somebody knows if it should be “there are about a dozen” or “there is about a dozen”. I get those confused, though I think it should be “there are”.

    “there are a dozen eggs in the fridge”… sounds clunky
    I wouldn’t say “there is a dozen eggs in the fridge”…
    but I would say “There’s a dozen eggs in the fridge”

    Its easier.

    I just found this recently, but I have to say that so far I am really loving your art and story Melody! This is really great and I very much enjoy reading it. I love Podge, she is so cute. She has really gotten me into Poads and now I have to save up to get some of my own. 🙂

    The stinky weed wake up call was great, it really made me laugh.

    I LOVE The Veligent.Always amusing and makes you laugh.From the mind of Melody.LOL
    I would think if you’re writing,”there are” would be correct but when we are talking,it more than likely would come out “there’s”.You think?

    Probably it would be “There’s” in conversation. Or you could say “We have about a dozen …” and avoid the whole question. 🙂

    There is a medical emergency. He is a doctor. He is in charge. Brother doesn’t come into it. I am sure Lark was the same.

    I was thinking that some of the people in that room may (will ?) now realize that Kade and Serence are related.

    That little question mark over the lady holding the basin shows that she is thinking about that. “Eh”, she thinks “that must be how Veligents talk to the king. That’s the way Lark did.”
    This is one of my lovely gaping plot holes, by the way. Why doesn’t anyone recognize Kade? He’s one of the royal family.
    I decided that it is because he has been sequestered in the Center Academy since he was about ten years old, and never got out much, because he served detention after school almost everyday of his life since then. Kade never followed rules very well.

    I also have to fit the words into the space allowed in the word bubble! I often will pick the shortest way to write something, even if it isn’t exactly correct.

    Lark was notorious for bossing the King around.

    I am enraptured with the story and artwork. Love it!

    As for the ‘There is/There are’ situation, well, it’s dialog. Grammar doesn’t have to always be correct in the dialog of a story.

    Thank you so much!
    Yeah, that is my theory about grammar, but I still might fix it if I feel that it is distractingly wrong.
