I loved the story so much but I was really annoyed and disappointed that Chadler was an Aquarius because a lot of Aquarius characters are mean but all the best characters are libras or something. I think Aquarius are underrated and really overlooked which is why I’m sorta sad. But monster pop was AWESOME and I’m a big fan of your work. This series deserves an award.

I always loved this story and to me this is one of the most professional/clean/interesting webcomics. Thank you for keeping it this long and for sharing the end with us while explaining what happened.

so, this has been a long time coming, and i’m sure many of you have seen the signs…

i will not be resuming Monster Pop!

i love this comic and i love you all, the readers. there’s only about 6 months of drawing left in chapter 6 for this comic that i’ve been drawing for 8 years — and i can’t do it. i love this comic but working on it is absolutely terrible for my mental and physical health.

i’ve battled with this decision for a long time — especially because of all of MP!, chapter 6 is my favorite and has been my favorite to write and draw. but i can’t keep forcing myself to sacrifice my well being for my stubborn pride.

so, what’s the next step? well, after SDCC (where i’ll be guesting and on a couple panels in a couple weeks), i’m gonna take some time and fix up the script for the rest of chapter 6, plus what I have written for the epilogue. after that’s made presentable i’ll be sharing it online with all of you.

will i one day come back to MP! and decide to draw the rest of it? maybe, but it’s unlikely. will there be a volume 3 kickstarter? sadly, i don’t think so.

thank you all for taking the time to read this and also my comic. and thank you, i hope, for understanding.

That's fine! A person's mental health should always come first regardless of craft. A script would be delightful anyway, since its always a shame when a story's discontinued without giving away how the story's resolved.

Im a little confuse, why it is bad for your mental health D:? For the fans?

This comic has been such an inspiration to me. I'm glad that you're putting your health first, however - and I'm happy that I got to discover it! Thank you for all of your hard work.

just a heads up, things might get a little hectic in the near future with MP updates/shipping out orders. we're currently dealing with a friend/family crisis. everyone is OK but devin and i are taking a lot of time off of work to help our friend with something really important.
