Untitled Document The purpose of this page is really, REALLY simple:

The Angel of St. Thomas webcomic has no religious connotations whatsoever. None are intended; none are implied; and none should be inferred.

The name is a matter of happenstance. St. Thomas is, of course, the name of the island upon which much of this fantasy occurs. And while the island was indeed named after the Saint Thomas, that's pretty much the end of it.

The "Angel" portion is what the people of these islands call their appointed guardian and protector. With a role similar in some way to real angels, it was probably an inevitable naming.

The logo - which is the title superimposed over angel wings - is the result of the naming given this specially gifted guardian, and is not in any way designed or intended to convey that the characters are actual angels.

If you put these things together, like we did in the title, I can well imagine that the internet search engines will return some false positives for people looking for information on real angels and on the real Saint Thomas. This page is for them.

Again:
DISCLAIMER: This web comic, The Angel of St. Thomas, is not a religious comic, nor will it ever be. It is 100% secular, intended for enjoyment.


If you're curious to know:

  • Pete is a devout Christian and speaking only for himself, not presuming to speak for either Steve or BattleAngel.
  • The "Angels" in my story universe have absolutely no basis or connection with reality.
  • Angels - those beings confirmed in righteousness by God at Creation - truly exist, but NOT in this comic.
  • Real angels are exactly what God tells us they are; messengers and servants of the Lord.

If you'd like to know more about real angels and God, I would invite you to visit http://wels.net. It is a comprehensive site that will answer all your questions.

News entry for Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
She's So Young.
I'd originally worried over how I was going to keep track of all this time-jumping, and all the complex - to say the least - relationships Celeste was going to have with anyone outside of her crew. I'm working from one primary focus: Celeste. So long as I look at her life experiences as the linear time component, then everything else will be on that time line. Not that there still won't be some tricky stuff coming up. I just hope I won't get our readers and us lost as we move along.

DIFFERENT KIND OF
WALLPAPERS!
Starting this month and running through the end of Issue 04, we'll be giving out multiple wallpapers to donors AND people who post in the forum. Each wallpaper is going to be a nice image of a crew member, along with a short character bio. The pages will eventually end up on the new site's CAST PAGE, but the images there will be smaller and lower rez. So consider donating and/or posting during Issue 4! Donors receive all wallpapers for the month, while anyone who posts in the forum will receive the month's first character image. (Donors also receive any bonus images Lily may decide to create in a month.) There will be two to four images each month. A snippet of the first one will be going up once we start that character's story on September 14th.
