This was the page that took a lot longer than what it should have.
I was mostly having fun painting the inside of a home, I�m very glad to be out of painting fields and trees.
I try to show the parents, though there is no good shot of them in this page wearing slightly older styled clothing, especially the father, Benjiman Benning II.

I changed the voting incentive to close up images of this page.
Again let me know if you want anything else as a bonus material.

Next week!
I decided to hold the page I still am working on, so I can work on the next page and be least -a- page ahead for people.
I dislike doing this more than what I think people realize but working live for the painting process... Well I am just too slow and 3 weeks in a row that I am late on is a tad stressful.

Any ways, here is preview of Page 12

I will get to answer the emails; again I apologize for the tardiness in responding.

Issue 01 The Powder Alarm, Page 11
Again I apologize for it being late; I was finishing up the bottom panels painting.

Long last we are done with them being in what would be modern Somerville MA USA, as well as it being early morning, I know more people want lighter scenes to see uniforms better :)
I know many people have been expecting gunfire, or armed colonist militia.
Well that would be exciting but didn�t happen, the Powder Alarm mission went over quite well, what you have to be worried about is the reaction the colonist may have, In the rest of this story arc ;)

I also want to note this issue I did pace very slowly, I plan on pacing the next issues and future ones faster. Web Comic is a faster pace and I was failing to realize this.

Voting incentive was changed!
Please vote for Loyalty&Liberty if you get a moment too, it is free exposure which counts for a lot when you�re a new project online :)

The New Website
Well it's done!!
I wanted to have all the sections finished but I decided this was going on for too long! So I skipped out on the sketchbook because not all the artwork for that section is finished

Hopefully I can get back on track on updating the comic on time!
I will be adding new desktops next week with hopefully the next page.

Apirl 19th
No update yet, because I'm still working on the new layout, which is about 80% done.
I want to remind people I do everything for this project aside from editing. All the writing, art and Webmaster responsibilities fall upon me, so this is why the updates have been held off.

After I finish the new layout with new sections of the site completed the comic will remain updating as normal

Now tomorrow is Patriots Day weekend in USA, when the 'Shot heard round the world' was fired

Something this comic will go into in future planned issues, mind you that coined phrase �shot heard from around the world� is from 1837 �Concord Hymn� by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Also no one ever shouted the �British are coming�, something I will have great enjoyment lettering a word bubble of �The Regulars are out� So ONCE and for all a comic or graphic novel focused on the American War of Independence can get right! ;)

Better late than never.
I know I struggle to get the pages up weekly, as well as on time.
It's not a lack of interest it's just my free time to spend on them I hope the readers can understand!

I would rather make pages I like and am proud of then make pages that are sub pare to make a 'deadline'

New Voting Incentive
Desktop download of this page, I was quite happy with painting of the last two panels so I thought it would make an interesting desktop image.

~In the British Army you were not officially allowed to marry till you made Sergeant, it was to keep the number of camp followers down as well as an added incentive for the men to want to rise in ranks.
This is where the saying 'Married to a Bess' comes from.
