Poppy 7, page 50
Well folks, that’s “it” for Poppy as a comic. Starting with Poppy 8’s cover on September 8th, I’ll be transitioning the series to a web novel medium, updating every Monday and Friday with 1000-2000 word updates accompanied by illustrations. I know it might seem disappointing now, but try to bear with me for a bit, and I’ll try to make it worth your time.
For anyone worried about the visual element of the story disappearing, don’t be. I’m just cutting out all the chaff that comes with long-form comics, like so many panels where characters stand around talking. You’ll still get all the weird character designs Poppy is known for. And the comical reactions. And even some storytelling told through sequential panels and full-page comic updates here and there. In my eyes, the text still exists to complement the drawings, rather than the other way around.
In any case, I want to thank everyone for sticking with me this far, and I hope you’ll continue to enjoy Poppy regardless what may come.
