Last I heard was over a year ago that it was being shopped after being cancelled, news reports state that. But nothing since then. I think what’s really killed it was the Writers strike and Covid, I would imagine networks aren’t rushing to pick up first year shows during and after this time.

After this much time, with all these kids rapidly aging, how do you do another season based off season 1. They pulled that off with stranger things, lots of real time gaps in between seasons, especially season 5.

Oh well, it just was such a cool series, wish Brad Pitt could use his influences to get it back up and running soon

My brother has asked to borrow my copy of Paper Girls and I’m wondering if I should give him the code for the future language or add in post its with the translation for each page or just let him go through without it/ figure it out himself.

What did you guys do the first time you read it? I didn’t look up the translation when I first went through but now I’m re-reading (and half finishing) and I’m reading with the translation.

Is it just me, or…???? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I mean, even their rebellious attitude was the same.

My favorite is when KJ comes out of the bush to stop the caveguys from tossing Qanta Braunstein into a magic shithole. She just says "Hey. Whatever you're doing. Don't... don't do that."

Omg I just read the ENTIRE papergirls series today and I'm addicted. The only way to get my Mac + KJ steam out was by drawing fanart for 2 and half hours. It's garbage so I'm not gonna post it but OMG SOMEONE HELP ME I NEED TO TAKE MY MIND OFF OF THIS AWESOME SERIES.

The art is just SO AWESOME, I love the plot, and I was attached to the characters by book 2!

I'm so glad I found this subreddit because I need something to vent to about this amazing book.

Last year on February 14, 2023, I read this scene around midnight or the hour of midnight (Around 12:00 to 12:30 before I went to bed and woke up to my boring college life).

I had to pay homage to this awesome and well-done scene since it's the first anniversary that I read this issue.

Definitely was the best part of my day. At the time, I tried to finish the comic earlier but was so busy with schoolwork and trying to learn French that I put reading comics aside.

The anticipation of reading the book that I had throughout my day made the experience better.

This event was perfect timing because of the context and the holiday! ❤️ Haha

It was such a cute moment!

I never thought Mac, the homophobe, would show feelings for another girl. Like, this is a plot twist that I've never seen before in my life before reading the book. It's still crazy to think about.

The character development of "Paper Girls" are one of the hugest aspects that makes this book great. Like, I was somewhat surprised at the scene despite basically getting a preview when KJ touched that machine and got visions into the future.

I love this book!

Waaah - I just watched all of Paper Girls belatedly only to find out now it got cancelled. Streaming services are dicks, they expect everyone to watch everything as soon as it comes out.

I did a quick search for updates only to find some old news about it and this Reddit community, but perhaps you guys are the best source for any new gossip on the series?

Also if I wanted to jump in on the comics series is it still generally available, is it literally just called Paper Girls?

Thanks!

...Ima bout to power through the rest of the Paper Girls comic (I got through Vols. 1-2 or 3 last night when the power was out and I was stoned AF.) Wish me luck...

​

...for her Golden Globe award last night for her role in Beef. She was one of the best in PaperGirls. They killed her character much too soon. I get why they had to, just would have been good to see her connect with/observe the other adult Paper Girls (and Larry) in the '99 timeline.

Does anyone have a somewhat good picture/scan of the back of the Paper Girls "The complete story" volume? I want to make a high quality edit of the full cover illustration but I'm missing a picture of the back. Any help is appreciated 👍

I mean, the title, but specifically...

I swear shortly after I watched the show, I saw/heard about a colored vinyl release of the soundtrack. The cover art looked like what they have on Amazon, and the actual vinyl color was a kind of smoke/splatter looking based on those pink/purple (color of the sky in the pilot) colors in the sky. Maybe I was dreaming or something...

as the title says !! i’m one of those nerds that loves collecting physical media in the off chance digital media ever becomes inaccessible bc i stop paying for prime or bc the series is removed, but i can’t seem to find any kind of actual paper girls dvd or blu ray anywhere

so on erins andg card as seen in issue 26, we see that there appears to be a name crossed out. can anyone make it out? or have theories as to why she wrote the wrong name?

At the end of the last volume we get to see the girls' bedrooms. I've been analyzing the scenes and I can't figure out what band this poster is for. At first I thought it might be Duran Duran but it doesn't match. If anyone recognizes it I would appreciate the answer! Thank you!

Synopsis: taking place four years after the series, mac has a not great time at a house party; not her fault, of course. she may have beaten cancer, but what's the point if her closest friends have already moved on from her and she doesn't have the energy to catch back up?

Evening walks with KJ held a unique, private air that just couldn’t be replicated, either with her other friends or on her own. Even with the summer air humming with vibrant warmth and a setting sun painting the sky above in familiar hues of amber and pink, there was always an inexplicable chill that came over her and wracked her bones as if summer had given immediate way to early winter. Normally, she’d brashly lament the loss of heat and the impending cold of the season, but in these quiet, tender moments between just the two of them blanketed by an unseasonal chill, she found very little to complain about.

Maybe her brain just didn’t have the words to explain it anymore, but it always felt right. Sentimental, even, despite Mac’s own indifference to the same nostalgia that gripped her friends every year.

But she wasn’t getting all gooey over the changing seasons and the passage of time; her mind was set on every other night she’d spent walking alone with KJ, sinking into the comfort her presence offered her while airing out the charged feelings she’d buried deep beyond her brazen face.

Even now, with the thrum of the party to their backs, Mac felt free, easy, calmed and content walking alongside KJ as they sauntered down the street in the direction of Mac’s humble abode. It sucked, being stuck between the hell of her disjointed home and the gilded monument to all the worst people living in Stony Stream, but she could happily rely on the time spent between the two to offer her some reprieve from it all. Present company, included.

Still, she couldn’t help noticing the occasional glance towards her that KJ stole, flashing her quick, flat smirks or rapidly averting her gaze whenever Mac caught her in the act. KJ had always been quiet, preferring to consider her own life and the world around her before offering her own insight or opinions. It was a welcome change from how Mac experienced the world, reacting loudly and suddenly to everything that came her way. 

It did make her curious, though, just as it battled the chill in her skin with an equally notable warmth. Mac was hardly the girl she used to be: hairless mug, skin white as an eggshell, bones showing through skin made thin after years of being so hardened. Whatever KJ was looking at, it wasn’t the person who used to go for these long walks with her. Maybe she was contemplating that, too, wondering where the Mac of years past had gone and who the ghoul that replaced her was.

But KJ wouldn’t think that, of course. Mac knew as well that KJ had seen that transition, had watched her pale and weaken into the person she was now, was present for her words to slacken and her strength to dwindle. 

So why the fuck was she so afraid of how KJ looked at her?

throughout the comic, max wears this outfit, but i have no idea what the pink rope is? it’s not attached to the walkman so i’ve got really no clue, any idea?
