Morbi I like the juxtaposition of the King Dolphense balloon with the horrible loving cthulhoid nightmare dragon in the anniversary image. I, too, feel that they are equivalent threats.

Morbi posted:... and "Ms. Rufus was clearly the most important character to come out of the gang war so she'll be on top of that section" I still have a soft spot for the Degenerate Housewives as a concept. Also dang we're never gonna see what that Giraffe looks like. She has friggen sunbeams emanating from her face. Also also, who the heck is that silhouette at the very top? I vaguely remember a mention of some Iron Matron character in some chapter or another, but I thought it was in reference to Poppy. Guess I'll have to re-read the whole dang thing to get that straightened out.

Morbi's had fun teasing her since the first chapter.

Who is the opossum sitting on the left just above Boris's finger? I thought it might be the opossum who was smuggling vials but she is on the right side.

It's fun to reread Poppy and see the hints and references about future comics. My memory is terrible so I never remember them at the time.

This chapter, Kit's youngest sister, Twee, was mentioned. I thought Morbi was keeping her shadowy for her real introduction in the future. She appears the same way in the Anniversary page, so now I wonder if that's actually what she looks like. If she has some kind of shadowy Lucky Star, maybe her description as an "untouchable brat" is literal?

Yeah he seems to be going full Mad Oracle on us. Good thing that the prophecy he utters in his madness doesn't sound super loving ominous or anything!

If it used the plain old Latin alphabet glyphs, it'd be dismissed as just for readers' (and author's) convenience; same as why they speak English. But we're shown a different set of glyphs, that makes it explicitly part of the setting "as-is" instead of a transcription for the audience's sake. And it's obviously derived from the Latin alphabet, so there is only one explanation possible: Flora is either a post-apocalyptic Earth or a planet once settled by humans. Now, let's go back to the 2016 announcement, what is the very first item?

I will confirm up front that Flora is not Earth in the future, past, or otherwise. It is its own distinct planet.

I'd just like to thank you for bringing my attention to the background detail of Fazzi being put in a Shame Cube for attacking Poppy. Chicadino runs a tight ship Edit: This also led me back to this page.

I'm still trying to decide if it would be more hilarious if one of these were true this time, or none of them. I'd personally guess that the three Mary theories are true, although I guess we'll find out eventually. EDIT: Potential evidence: http://www.poppy-opossum.com/comic/poppy-3-page-9-2/ - Mary has Mystana's genes, but Poppy says that the Mothers of Magic don't have any descendants. http://www.poppy-opossum.com/comic/poppy-3-page-25/ - Silvana is still alive (and probably in charge of the Veil, whatever the Veil is), so Mystana might be too. idonotlikepeas fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Jun 25, 2016 |

Yamcha becomes an order of magnitude more powerful than most of the universe's gods and remains useless the whole way. Also, being dumped for a guy who committed several genocides has to sting.
