Re: The Puberty Fairies (AR/AP comic)

Can someone tell me how much AR is in this, i.e. how many total transformations?

Re: The Puberty Fairies (AR/AP comic)

Blahblah,

There's probably a total of 4 AR's in this. Adult to Teen, Preteenish to Def Preteen.
The rest are Child to Teen and Early Teen to Adult.

I bought this last night and honestly for the 12 dollars I expected more. I guess after readying Yard Work I was expecting something different.

Nothing against DT. I always buy the AR/AP comics. They're more appealing than the GTS comics. But like Beach Blanket Beauties I have to point out something.

In Beach Blanket Beauties 2 the gun is used to shrink someone. In this the puberty faeries bestow giant-ism on some girl. How/Why? There is no explanation given at all. Now, the argument can be made, very convincingly, that because they're faeries of puberty they can naturally continue making someone bigger/stronger/daft punk/faster. However I would expect another application of their magic not to make someone a gaint. But to make them older. That's what we've seen so far. Unless in the girls DNA she was naturally going to get that tall. Plus I HATE tall/muscular women. Short/shrinking petite women. That's ok.

Also that said, if they can make someone continue to grow into giant levels, why can't they shrink? Why can't they cause instant boob growth? Can they make a face younger and younger but the rest of the body older? When you made someone a giant my mind went on to conclude that they could do all that I mentioned and more. Oh, someone has a wrinkly forehead... BOOM teenage face old lady body. Oh, that younger girl has bigger boobs than me and I'm twice her age! When will puberty give me an awesome rack?

See what I mean?

Basically what I'm saying is that you have an effect, that hasn't been explained, that just happens and you're expecting the audience to just assume this is right/proper. But as a reader/editor/writer I expect the thermo nuclear hand grenade to blow up and destroy things. Now if it's revealed it's actually the Thermo Nuclear Bimbonating hand grenade I would expect to see men killed(Maybe), and women turned into bimbo's.

The story is good, I don't know if I'd give it the 7.5 the other person did. But that's a matter of price, 12 bucks is edging up to the max I'll pay for your books, and the above flaw in my opinion. But then I will willingly admit I'm very hard to give perfect ratings to anything because there's always room for improvement.

It's nice to see more girls in on the action but the thing I loved about Yard Work is that when the Teens start getting younger it's gradual and the water has operated sorta how I expect it.

That said, I'll still buy the second one. But I like/appreciate getting feedback from fans. So I hope you value/appreciate it.

Re: The Puberty Fairies (AR/AP comic)

Wow, thanks so much for the detailed comments! I really appreciate them and definitely pay attention to all the feedback.

I agree continuity / consistency is key, and I really tried to make this story as logical as possible. The key element is that Mother Nature wants to make her subjects happy, and the Fairies are trying to do just that, and messing it up. I don't think it’s a big leap to say that the same Fairy powers that make people grow older and more mature can also make them grow taller and sexier. It’s just more growth, right?

Regarding the art, the deal with PalComix is that you get the completed artwork without the ability to comment on drafts or sketches. So it’s pretty much WYSIWYG. If you want a do over you have to pay all over again. That said, I did actually pay another artist to have several pages Photoshopped to make the character sizes more consistent. Still, I think the PalComix artist has been getting better and better, and he does an amazing job with AR and AP.

Part Two has lots more AR /AP transformations, and is closer to the “Bring on the Chaos!” that Jeff 2bya was looking for. Plus there’s a whole series of AR /AP sketches by Bojay that were used as concept pieces for the comic.
