Worst thing is his announcement that it'll get released in print. It's a horrible wreck that I just can't look away from, even if it is just setups for more filth.

I should definitely stop reading it at work, that's for drat sure.

I think this whole scene is kinda just there to poo poocumfart in the face of anyone who, like me, got bored of the comic but kept reading on for whatever reason. Once again, I feel like I want this to just skip to the end so I can see who dies and move on.

At least it's the most "fun" Jimmie's had in like 200 years?

I'm sure that someone will mention in this thread when it's over, if you actually want to do that.

I actually saw a print volume of it in a comic store a few days ago, so I'm a bit confused. Maybe it was someone selling one of those handmade booklets he was talking about.

That'd be nice.

I honestly can't tell if this is a continuation of the previous fight (they just happened to posses a gay couple banging) or if they decided to just gently caress already and this is what their relationship looks like.

Well, I mean, I guess you could pronounce it like that. If you had some sort of horrific facial injury.

Still not sure what it has to do with the comic.

So I was reading through Poppy O'Possum again and some of the foreshadowing in this chapter was pretty nuts.

I mean, that giant boar that wrecked the place up got big because it was fed something "unnatural." And Valente showed up because he got a tipoff from some weird monk who giggles all the time. And I wonder where that weird hand got off to?

If you look carefully, the monk also had another appearance where they are suspiciously carrying a bug sprayer.
Thinking up all of the potential foreshadowing is probably one of the most fun things about being a writer.

A cool foreshadowing trick is to go back through your early stuff and pick out some incidental detail or character you added and then hitch your idea to that, so it looks like you laid the groundwork years in advance when all you did was just scroll back.

Unless you're using gay as an epithet, I'm pretty sure that's a heterosexual couple that they posessed.

Look back a few pages. Shiga clearly draws a penis on Jimmy every chance he gets, and there's a scene where hunter is standing up where he/she has small breasts and nothing between the legs.

Poppy is a drat well put together comic. Foreshadowing here and there, and some extensive worldbuilding that doesn't get in the way and drag on.

Meanwhile, there's more family trouble in Badnix. Looks like Perry lost what little family he had when he was busy avenging his parents. Now all he has are his cold, lifeless, mountains of riches.

Poppy is fun and I was re-reading it and I think this page might be my favorite thus far because I love it when she goes from full on caring-mother mode to "BLAME THE DRUNK FAKE NUN" in 0.2 seconds and that expression owns.

Tom Preston has disappeared from Deviant Art. His presence on the internet is felt but not seen.

He is known to take new personas and projects. Indeed, the name "Tom Preston" is a pseudonym.

Is this his newest filth puddle?

Random Battles

It carries much of his stink - the all-female cast, lesbians, ugly same-face art with big white eyes and huge upper lips, the inability to express movement, flat humor, and characters more stock than a retail center's back room.

I have no idea who Tom Preston is or why I should care.

Necropolis: It's a little sad to see this one run into problems so early on, but dang if these design notes aren't super interesting.

If the man wants to wipe his slate clean and move on to something new, let him. Don't stalk him and insist he tell everyone his weird internet history like some kind of sex offender. So long as he's not making a massive rear end of himself, it's fine. That's the whole reason that there was that internet dogpile on him in the first place.

Yeah, honestly, I don't get why people continue to be obsessed with that guy.
