So you already know Laichi (Papa) is completely nuts except when he's not. But do you know who else was crazy?




That's right! Pompo chan was!

Back then I wanted Laichi to suffer in some way.
And I didn't quite establish Pompo's personality besides being extremely dumb.

So I decided to make him a little crazy. But you know not the violent kind of crazy but dreamy and silly kind of crazy.

I guess people find Pompo creepy because he's too into children for no reason explained so far.

My current theory is that he has lost his younger sibling when he was a child and he thinks it's his fault somehow.
So he constantly wants someone who he can take care of? So he can redeem himself? I hope that makes sense.

I love this page. I want this kind of a page sometimes. They have to understand they're different. I also want to contrast Laichi's "absolute control (over the child)" and Pompo's "guiding." When I say guiding, the basic idea is that Mumu can tell Pompo what he feels even when they don't agree. Man, I can't believe his heart is still functioning after eating fried butter. How?  Again the pacing issue is very serious.   I just wanted to draw the rainbow wave. Yay I love this page! It was A NIGHTMARE to color those glittery clothes! It should be very obvious, but the song name is called Boogie Shoes. But this is also a reference to a movie called  Knock at the Cabin . A gay guy loving disco is too stereotypical I feel... Heck, Pompo chan is full of stereotypes! This is what happens when the creator forgets to clarify what is satire and what is not. Oh well, I'll try to make them more 3 dimentional... figuratively. I'm not talking about the ...

A28 Purple up

Image
So this is the last day of their bonding vacation (feels kinda weird. I think it's too short to be called a vacation) Took me a while to find out the right colors of purple for their clothes... I had to make em purple as it's the mixture of their personal colors (red and blue.) I like color symbolism. You have seen it a lot before this page right? Rainbow - Obviously gay but just to indicate they're happy (that's why I say gay instead of lgbt) Oh yeah also used as the symbol of autism. Pink yellow blue - Pan color. Mostly used on Pompo chan's stuff Red/Green - hero/villain black/white - adult/child.  You see this contrast used in their eyes, hands and feet color.

progress of A29

It's a very rare angle for Pompo. I have to come up with a good background for the 3rd cut...  But since I used rainbow as the frame, drawing the sky makes the most sense to me. (That's why I filled it with blue for now.)
