Only KJ left to finish. Out of the three I’ve done so far which one do you all like most?
Another one for the series, this one’s a bit messier, had to recolor it twice cause it didn’t look right. Might post them to my print shop once they’ve all done if anyone’s interested.
Drew this a year and a half ago, I wanted to make it a series (with all 4 paper girls) but I abandoned it halfway through drawing Tiffany. Just started working on the illustrations again so I thought it’d be a good time to post.
hi there, I'm looking for someone to talk about the show and the comics, I've watched the show two times and I'm reading the comics, but I don't have anyone to talk about it
I just completed the tv show first time watcher. I never heard of the comics before.
this is so my type of thing.
for the people who read the comics. I have a couple questions.
1, is the tv series accurate to the storyline and
2, do the comics continue the storyline from the last episode of the tv show??
I so badly want to know how it ends!!!
The KJ actress seemed really familiar which was weird when I've never seen her before in another TV show or movie. Finally checked her profile and saw her latest project:
Netflix's Fear Street: Prom Queen 1988. 😲
Currently kind of obsessed with Fear Street and I guess I saw her in the cast list of the latest movie. So wow.
So KJ went from being one of the paper girls in 1988 to one of the prom queens in the cursed town of Shadyside in 1988. 😄
Remarkable coincedence? Or is Netflix planning to continue Paper Girls cause I'm disappointed only seeing season 1.
Well anyways, gotta get back to watching the rest 😊
hey all! i’m writing a fic about Max going to KJ’s bat mitzvah, and i know it isn’t a requirement or anything for the occasion but i’m having Mac bring her a present. problem is, it’s currently wrapped and i’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out what Mac might get for her. it’d have to be something Mac could afford with her lunch money (which is why she doesn’t tell KJ where she got it), as well as be very meaningful to KJ. any ideas?
I've been so obsessed with Paper Girls it's unhealthy. From my fanart wall to my neverending yapping to my profile pictures, it's... incessant. Finally, my friends snapped. Earlier this month they suddenly got incredibly hostile about it and started bullying me about it. I have decided to "take a break" from them. Because, honestly, I don't care or regret it. I love paper girls. They can't change that I'm obsessed with it. Sure, it's annoying, but if you can't put up with it, why do you call yourself my friend? I will continue to love this series, no matter how much they hate it.
Anyway, I just came here to say this because some of you may find this amusing. I hope you all have a great day (and since I don't believe anyone else said it, happy Mac's Birthday a couple weeks ago).
Do you know any games that have a similar vibe to papergirls? Preferably the comic but if there is a game like the show that would be cool too! I have a PlayStation and have access to a switch so games that could run on those consoles would be great. The closest I can get to the right vibe is Life is Strange.
The pink portion of my version of the color wheel challenge. KJ takes the number 1 spot 👍
I love the art style of the comics and I’m currently putting some new posters up. Does anyone know if there are/were ever official posters or prints for sale of the comic panels or covers? Thanks! :))
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!
