Artist's Comments

Another character design for my webcomic The Dreamer. This is Captain Nathan Hale, who was an officer in an elite regiment called Knowlton's Rangers that served during the Revolutionary War.

This is one of my favorite drawings that I ever did for The Dreamer probably because I'm so enamoured with Nathan Hale. He's such an endearing member of the cast of colorful characters who started this country. He's all American like apple pie and baseball and Elvis...

Oh, it's a cockade. Okay, no sex jokes!!! For real that's what it's called... The different colors showed your rank. Yellow = Captain. After the French entered the war, the cockades were all black and white, and officers were distinguished by other means... but in '76 this is how it was.

green = subaltern (which could be a corperal, sergent, or lieutenant)

yellow = captain

red or pink= major & colonel

So Knowlton = pink, eh? :giggle: Rawr!!
Ha ha ha, so is everyone going to have those symbols on their hats??

Only the officers. The kids who 'arrest' Alan and Bea on pages... uh... 19 & 20 I think? are Subalterns... green cockades & feathers.

Now you're in the know. Use this information wisely... ;)

Joking aside, this is a pretty impressive pic. I may have to trawl thru your web comic at some point when I'm not working.

Your gallery is also pretty impressive.

Watch sense tingling.

You, lady, are absolutely awesome! Not only have you...well, *drool*...he seems to be moving and the position...and...and...just wow! lol. I'm not very articulate at the moment but I plan to practice as I review the rest of your work!
