Careful Emma you don’t know what might happen! Strange book appeared magically, that seems a little suspicious to me. Unless it’s a book with all of her adventures magically recorded in it!! seems possible.
I am pretty sure that it’s the book that Karen gave her at the library (she even mentioned it was blue). Plus, it would make sense that it would be lying around on the ground, because Emma must have dropped it when she got sucked into Oz.
OMG does she not remember OZ?!
o.o If she recalls a man in a black coat, shoes, and flowers but doesn’t know why..then I suppose she doesn’t.
;_; That’s so sad..
Just occured to me..I wonder if that crazy dream must have something to do with the memory D:< The mask and all..maybe he put some kind of spell on her? We know she didn't just -forget- when she came back cause she said Warrick when Nose found her.
Yeah at this point that is about 50% of our(viewers) opinion that Nose somehow memory-wiped her with a spell. It is of my personal observation that those little blue bubbles you keeps seeing everywhere are evidence of magic.
Namesake is just one really long advertisement to encourage people to go to public libraries. Or not, considering murder and mayhem seems to happen in them. Depends what you want out of life, really.
I have read the entire archive over the last week. Now I need to get the books and leave them out where my kids will find them, but there don’t seem to be any in the store. Are they currently available?
I am very glad Emma seems to a least retain a bit of her memories…even if they are not technically correct. Her face in the third and fourth panels crack me up! Too bad Warrick can’t see her thoughts, I’d love to see his expressions.
Considering the reference to black coat, shoes, and flowers all together in one group, it is most likely Warrick. Warrick is the one who wears the black coat, the shoes are Hercilia, and the flowers are the poppies from Oz. Also the shape of the male has a pointy nose, though unclear if that’s suppose to mean anything.
I’ve read the entire archive for the first time over the past several days, and I was wondering: WHY do you torment us by posting cliffhanger pages on Sat.?!?! It’s so cruel! I absolutely love Namesake btw.
Welcome to the gang! I’m not really suse why the worse cliffhangers always seem to land on Saturdays *laughs* Maybe they just seem aplified because of the Saturday.
Guy in black coat… at least she got the nose right, huh, Warrick?
And the book is… The Wizard of Oz! Or not. Probably not. Cruel, cruel, comic writers…
La composition de cette planche est particulièrement réussie, avec une saute d’axe parfaitement maîtrisée dans le panneau central, et une dernière case d’une efficacité rare et discrète…
Où est-ce que vous avez appris l’art du découpage?
Oh Emma, the guy is the black coat is much cuter than your brain is trying to tell you.
That book, it couldn’t be Emma’s story, could it? Could it?
Careful Emma you don’t know what might happen! Strange book appeared magically, that seems a little suspicious to me.

seems possible.
That could lead to kool events
Really, I think that if the book has all of her adventures magically recorded in it, that that would be very suspicious!
I am pretty sure that it’s the book that Karen gave her at the library (she even mentioned it was blue). Plus, it would make sense that it would be lying around on the ground, because Emma must have dropped it when she got sucked into Oz.
Well, I can say I’m not as confused as her, but…kinda! I think the “shoe fetish” is the best part.
I get the “shoe fetish” thing, but what is “flowers?” The poppies?
Yeah, I bet the book is either The Wizard of Oz or something that Elaine cooked up during one of her writing sessions.
Poppies is what I thought.
I recognize Warrick’s shoulders on imaginary date!

The shoes are Hercilia and the man in a black coat is Warrick in the Witch of the West’s coat and the flowers are the poppies, duh.
The book is probably the Wizard of Oz!
This means she’ll be goin’ back soon! YEA! YOU GO EMMA!!!!
Heh heh… You wish that happened with Warrick, Emma…
Emma probably shouldn’t be too happy to see THAT particular bouquet of flowers from any guy in a black coat.
Interesting how she perceives the faded memory of Warrick as a potential love interest… hmmm <__>
=^-^= Go shippers!
Yay, go Warrick x Emma shippers!!
When in doubt, go read a book.
Books are here to save the day again! XD
You know, I just realized: This whole thing started in a library. “Go read a book” indeed.
Namesake is just one really long advertisement to encourage people to go to public libraries. Or not, considering murder and mayhem seems to happen in them. Depends what you want out of life, really.
Or whom.
“go read a book” should be namesake fans catchphrase!
I can’t help but notice that in the fourth panel I see a more Warrick like figure(blames the nose).
I have read the entire archive over the last week. Now I need to get the books and leave them out where my kids will find them, but there don’t seem to be any in the store. Are they currently available?
They are being printed/re-printed at the moment. We’ll have them up in the store again by summer!
Are you a good book, or a bad book?
Amen Spirit!
All my life I have loved books. But this is the first time I’ve felt suspicious of them.
[Adm. Akbar] It’s a book!
I am very glad Emma seems to a least retain a bit of her memories…even if they are not technically correct. Her face in the third and fourth panels crack me up! Too bad Warrick can’t see her thoughts, I’d love to see his expressions.
Expressions : :O |:| ;:O :3
I noticed that the shoes she is wearing in her second fantasy look like Hercilia as a pair of high heeled pumps.
Hope the Oz characters come outta that book if she opens it………….
Is the man in the black coat the Nose, or Warrick? Or maybe she’s remebering Alice’s memories, from those flashbacks you keep showing?
Considering the reference to black coat, shoes, and flowers all together in one group, it is most likely Warrick. Warrick is the one who wears the black coat, the shoes are Hercilia, and the flowers are the poppies from Oz. Also the shape of the male has a pointy nose, though unclear if that’s suppose to mean anything.
More importantly, look at the “feathery” shoulders of the black coat itself – definitely Warrick.
oh geez. I didn’t even see that. *drags window to other monitor* Haha ya..monitor too dark I completely looked over the pieces sticking out.
The brain is such a pester sometimes, isn’t it? oh, could her powers leaked a little and bring the book of Oz to her?

Aren’t they all cliff hangers until the end of the story?
Guy in black coat… at least she got the nose right, huh, Warrick?
And the book is… The Wizard of Oz! Or not. Probably not. Cruel, cruel, comic writers…
I swear you guys better not cut back to Calliope next update
Ditto! I NEED to see Emma AT LEAST getting onto the right track with things ;_;
The coat he’s wearing is Warrick’s feathercloak! Look more closely at the drawing.
Maybe Warrick can bring her memory back like he did with Anlise…
Yeah, I just noticed that!
“Help will always be given (at Hogwarts) to those who ask for it.”
Oh my. I reached the end of the archives?
Hmmh. The book. Book. What could be in the book? Why don’t you have a look? Maybe or maybe not, there’s a hook!
Good thing that book (magically?) appeared, because I think Emma was almost going to be sick after having THAT thought of what (DIDN’T) happened . . .
Could it be the NeverEnding Story we see next? (heh-heh-heh) … Oh now we’ll NEVER get to the end of the comic!!
La composition de cette planche est particulièrement réussie, avec une saute d’axe parfaitement maîtrisée dans le panneau central, et une dernière case d’une efficacité rare et discrète…
Où est-ce que vous avez appris l’art du découpage?
En lisant d’autres BD. Je n’ai pas fait d’études en art séquentiel ou en animation. C’est purement autodidacte.
3rd and 4th panels are hilarious! XD
Oh my! Yeah, the guy in the black coat… well… :3
haha “LOL shoe fetish or something” XD
Finally read the whole story from the beginning, it’s quite addictive and the characters are so endearing! Great comic!
I love Emma’s expression in the first panel, she is so focused and genre savvy.
Aww, I’m up to date now. Another great webcomic to add to the ever-growing update schedule.
“LOL shoe fetish or something” XDXDXDXD That made me laugh out SO loud the neighbours stopped talking. Tee hee, hello neighbours…^^u
