How did the Dragon in the second panel, get his foot inside Keltan’s armor? And why does the armor show no signs of damage afterwards? The dragon should have been able to rake him with it’s claws, and put him out of commission, or at least give him some serious injuries.
Joe,
Not in the armor. Left front foot is on Keltan’s chest and face, right front foot is to Keltan’s left, not in contact. Not sure what you’re seeing, but nothing is penetrating. 🙂
Wow! Believe it, or not, all these other comments, and your reply just came through on my computer today! I must not have given it a good look, perhaps just a first glance, but upon further examination, it does seem to be on his chest, rather than in his breastplate. Perhaps I had better replace my readers, as they no longer seem to be strong enough. Thanks for the info.
For a refresher, I went to look up their conversation in the PDF archives. JED, there is a page missing in the 2020 archives between where the Urrt rider punishes the unresponsive dragon (to Keltan’s great dismay) and Liri and Keltan hugging in relief. I believe the page depicts Keltan’s response that leaves half an Urrt on the dragon.
It could be a simple matter of Keltan to talk down the dragons, Or get him to their mother to talk sense into her. That would be a blow to Gorslash’s war plans, if not stop him dead. Perhaps that’s where his wife went?
I was talking about the walk Keltan’s wife was taking with those 2 guys, she called them out for looking down her cleavage, then they came to a cave. She said something about “I can feel them, they are in there” and went in. A cliff-hanger that implied that it was maybe the dragons’ lair?
If you’re looking at the pdf archives, then it’s quite possible I messed up. But the archive function now works fine. The page you’re talking about is here:
Ah, I wondered what happened to the dragon Keltan rescued, maybe Aragenach will sweep off that rider and start targeting other riders? Nice and crispy lizard men, Or red-misted, for flavor?
Wow! All these comments just finally appeared on my computer yesterday. Apparently, I need to get some new readers. I saw the claws protruding on the left, which is Keltan’s right, and I seem to have mistaken it as a protrusion from within the breastplate. My Bad. Thanks for the response. I’ll bet the whack in the face from the spiked Mace didn’t do ol’ Firebreath any favors.
I thought my first reply didn’t go through, so I made a back-up. Now the first one shows. I may need an upgrade computer. I apologize for the redundancy.
It’s a page-caching issue that this site has been prone to on many of JED’s readers’ browsers for a couple of years now.

To clarify, this isn’t an issue unique to this site. I’ve seen it on several sites that probably use similar base code.
I was approached by some of my fellow Webcomic creators about a Valentine’s Day cross-promotion where we create sexy images of our characters and put them out there along with everyone else’s for Valentine’s Day.
“Sexy stuff!?” I cried, aghast, “With Zona? Heaven forfend!”
But after a little persuasion, I decided to go ahead and put one out there. Follow the links and see mine and everyone else’s.
Over the past year, my Patreon patrons have been generously giving me money to pursue my vision of an animated web series based on The Challenges Of Zona. In return they get early updates, desktops and other fun stuff.  But all of it has had one goal. And we have just passed the first milestone on the way to that goal.
I have just made the first payment to a talented young animator who is contracted to produce a 61-second fully animated trailer for The Challenges Of Zona.
We’re both really enthusiastic and I have high confidence that, within the next month or two we will have something to show folks that we’re serious about bringing a new fantasy phenomenon to the web.
I needed all of you, patrons and fans alike to support me in this and you have not disappointed. Eventually everyone will see the end product, but Zona’s patrons will be in on all the latest updates, new character models, tests, renders and everything as it happens, plus any other extras we can give in humble gratitude.
So be not shy. And, if you can, buy into the future of fantasy entertainment. one dollar, five dollars -ten or whatever you can afford.  You won’t be sorry! This is happening!
We’re doing it. Â We’re moving forward. Â We’re bringing Zona to life.
In the word of the great Stan Lee:
EXCELSIOR!!
Watch this space!
Warmest regards,

You remember when our intrepid adventurers were stranded in Hollywood, California for awhile and the bored Zona would spend her time in the pool? Well sometimes she would forego the bathing suit. And your faithful storyteller did record the event.
My generous patrons at Patreon can see the whole thing in a high resolution desktop.
Do subscribe if you can, not just for the boobs and fun stuff, but to help Zona get to our goal and make an animated demo which, naturally, my patrons will be the first to see!
Warmest regards,
JED
This week’s Sexy Saturday features (as some might have predicted) our resident priestesses of the Sun and The Moon, Chera and Tula.
If you’re not a patron, please consider helping us out at Patreon.com/JEDraft!
Warm Regards,
JED
Sorry kids. I am working on a largish crowd scene for page 1052. It will probably not be ready until tomorrow at earliest.
However, for my Patreon patrons, there is a scene with our lovers that takes care of one of my little loose threads. Alas, I got tired of
being clever so there’s no attempt to hide their nudity, so I had to put it on the Patreon site. Don’t worry, though. It’s not necessary to enjoy the next regular page.
But it’s just one of the things I add every week to reward those who help Zona out. 🙂
Enjoy!
Warmest regards,
JED
You people are wonderful, and today we crossed a bit of a threshold and have now more than fifty patrons who are helping us get to the ever-nearer goal of ten thousand bucks for the Zona animated demo and then beyond to a series!
Thanks so very much. All of you are important, and as an artist I feel everyone’s support, whether you can afford to be a patron on Patreon or not. But because I’m feeling jaunty I thought I’d share something from the past that had not been posted before.  Going through my archives I came across a render of the luckless Ginsha I’m pretty sure I haven’t shared before. Half-urtt woman, now masterless and mostly insane, I promise that there is a resolution in her future.
Thanks to all my patrons!
Warmest regards,
JED
Those ancient Erogenians had all kinds of slaves. See a couple of the more objectionable types over at JED’s Patreon page !
All the cool kids are doing it! Just a few bucks a month reaps fun rewards and helps us get that much closer to an animated Zona!
Warm regards,
JED
Thanks to all you guys out there who have helped us make a great start on our goal! And as promised, I’m starting a 12-page one off story for my more generous patrons.  It’s funny how the One Possible Future daughter of Zona and Mentl has come up again in the comments, because she’s the central character in this little tale. It’s not a great epic adventure, but you get to see Rachel deal with some of the problems of adolescence in a strange world – Earth. If you want to see this and other extras, (including all the sexy stuff) come put a few sheckels into the kitty to help make Zona come to life in an animated series!  Warm regards – JED
Thanks to all of you for your continued support of Zona! We’re getting more patrons every week, and they get desktops, artwork, sketches and updates before everyone else. Today we put up the second NSFW calendar desktop, starring my favorite Killer Queen, Yanora in a scene that’s quite a bit more explicit than any of you have heretofore seen!
So help us to reach our goals and get all the rewards that Challenges of Zona can bestow!
Warmest Regards,
JED
Hi Kids.
I told you all a bit ago that there was an announcement, and indeed there is.
See, here’s my idea. I have been doing a web comic for over 11 years now, and I have accumulated a story and characters and a whole world – as well as you, my friends and readers. It’s very rewarding and I will not be giving it up at all.
In fact, we’re gonna take it to the next level. I will be using my Patreon account with a fundraising goal of ten thousand dollars to hire animators to translate Zona, Mentl and all of Erogenia into an animated short. This will be the launching point for getting backers and making a regular ongoing series of sexy, fun, entertaining fantasy all based on the Challenges Of Zona.
So I am putting this out – please help. Give as little as a dollar a month. Skip the coke machine once or twice – water’s better for you anyway. If you give more, you get more. More stuff, more rewards! It’s all on the page which is now LIVE!
https://www.patreon.com/JEDraft
And when we get to the goal, you my patrons will share in the glory that is a fully realized Zona and her adventures!
Check out my video:
So give a dollar, give as much as you can! You will not be sorry!
Warmest regards,
JED

is he recognizing the dragon?

I guess Ara-GenNACH’s mother convinced him to fight for the Urrts, after all.

They chat on page 1187, July 24, 2020.

Time to lighten Ara’gennach’s load and get that Urrt off his back. That looks to be one confused dragon right there.

Does he recognize the dragon?
