paradoxGentleman posted:I want to recommend Hitmen for Destiny as well. Have you read his other webcomics? His current one, Trixie for President, is really enjoyable too (and has its own thread), although Hitmen for Destiny still feels like his best work. It took me a while to warm up to the art, but it actually matches the weirdness of the stories really well.

A while ago I read a very short comic about a girl whose father was sick so she had to go out and perform an annual ritual to kill the devil. I remember there was a knife and a light. Anyone know the name?

Thank you! And thanks to Pyroclastic and Hogge Wild for trying. I read the other stuff on his site this time too - it's pretty enjoyable, even if he does draw freaky, double-jointed horses.

The archive doesn't appear to have dates, so I'll ask: what is going on with Ava's Demon? Her tumblr says shipping the books is taking a huge toll--are updates planned to start back up once that ends?

Today's Poppy features variants of adorable at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Confirmation of what pretty much everyone knew at this point, that Also I can't say I expected him to conscript the goofy rat burglars. Also a decent excuse for me to talk about something related: After doing a full reread of Poppy recently, Morbi you're doing a real good job on the plotting end of things. It can't possibly be easy to maintain good flow on a longform comic like this, but the story beats are really crystal clear for an archive reader: the chapters simultaneously manage to be very slice of life one shots while still advancing the overarching plot thread of "Poppy's personal connection to the Queen slowly draws her into the orbit of Momentous poo poo, despite her unambitious intentions" in a very logical and believable fashion. Can't wait to see where things go from here because I get the impression that what we've seen so far has only been setting the stage.

A friend of mine got me to read it a while back and then like, for months there was nothing. It updated a bit then went on hiatus again so I stopped bothering. It looks really pretty but it's reaching Berserk levels of loving nothing without the crazy long archive.

Hopefully she'll go back to updating once she's done with all the book printing stuff.

Captain Oblivious posted:Today's Poppy features variants of adorable at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Maintaining a balance between being fast-paced enough not to drag for the active update readers, but not so fast-paced that scenes seem to whizz by for the archival readers is one of those unique hurdles nobody tells you about before you start making a webcomic. Sometimes I wish I was a one-person writing/drawing machine so I could update ten pages a week and decompress the plot a bit, but you have to know where your limits lie.

That's why the author of Unsounded will sometimes go "three pages today, no updates until next week" as a way to make action scenes flow better for serial readers.

Going back and rereading the first chapter of Poppy, I noticed that the possum goddess' eyes do the same ring thing Poppy's did when Poppy was staring down the third favorite wife. Pretty cool. I wonder if that's just code for rage, or if there's something more to it, like a possum thing or a lucky star thing. I can't think of anyone who has done it other than Poppy. Also, do we know if Possums can have lucky star powers? I assume that the anti-magic thing means they can't, but I'm not completely sure.

Sort of an ongoing mystery. Poppy's super strength is pretty explicitly VERY NOT NORMAL but we still have no idea where it comes from exactly. I get the impression it's not a Lucky Star because like you said, anti-magic but...  And yeah the eye rings I read as "200% mad". Interesting though that that shows up in the creation story.

Don't forget, it's kind of a crapshoot whether or not possum immunity will work against a Lucky Star. Kit's eyes are blocked, as was Ewe-Lala's disguise, but Boris' superstrength wasn't affected at all by Poppy.

Maybe the April fools thing was secretly partially true: Mary isn't Madana Mystara, but Poppy is the incarnation of the possum goddess.

Kit's eyes are blocked, as was Ewe-Lala's disguise, but Boris' superstrength wasn't affected at all by Poppy. I think that's kind of a function of who the Lucky Star acts upon. Boris' Star acts upon himself, to make him big and strong, rather than acting directly upon another person. Ewe-Lala charms people directly, and Kit's eyes likewise need to interact with the person themself. When there's an intermediary step antimagic doesn't do much. Much like Fazzi didn't need to bend Poppy herself. KittyEmpress posted:Maybe the April fools thing was secretly partially true: Mary isn't Madana Mystara, but Poppy is the incarnation of the possum goddess. I definitely think there's gonna be some kind of parallel. The Possum Goddess' beef with the gods was their refusal to allow mortals free will, and this Specter of Fate who seems to be getting set up as an antagonist definitely seems to be disdainful of the concept of free will based on Poda's shpiel. I could be reaching though. Captain Oblivious fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Jul 3, 2016 |

This is just not Rog's day. I guess technically it's a step up, since Hud just wants to wipe the data and reboot, whereas Number was going to brick the cartridge and maybe the system it's running in.

neogeo0823 posted:The latest Friedrich Intermission page over at Poppy confirms that life everywhere is a soap opera. I'm most curious about what exactly Friedrich has them infiltrating. My first guess would be Chicadino's Estate, tbh. He's the newly appointed Prime Minister of necessity, being able to remedy the Dragon's Blood shortage situation, but neither Kit nor Friedrich are fools. I'm sure that, to varying degrees, they both realize that Chicadino isn't completely on the up and up. Having the Rodents investigate the place pre-emptively seems like the kind of thing that Friedrich would do to protect the Queen.
