… the POWERPUFF GIRLS! I am over the moon to talk about doing some POWERPUFF GIRLS comics for Dynamite comics starting in July! There’s not much I can share just now beyond linking to the announcement that went out today at AIPT and show off the covers, but I do want to say that I am delighted to get a chance to do some more all-ages comics in the same vein as IT’S JEFF. Obviously the POWERPUFF GIRLS talk a lot more than my boi Jeff, but there’s a similar art to making something that works for kids and is still charming and funny for adults, and I hope we’ve captured that magic from IT’S JEFF and brought it over to the Puffs.
I know nothing about PPG but here’s an inspirational story: when I worked at Toys R Us circa 2002, a little girl (5?) came in with her mom and wanted a particular Bubbles figure. I found it for her and gave it to her and she gave it a big hug - it still inside its plastic figure packaging - and said “I love you, Bubbles.” So cute ☺️
Ahhhh congrats on the new boom Kelly! Back to Birds, I love how you and the team thought of a fun and creative way to weave in the different artists so they make sense for the story when the style changes. Gives both an in world and (without for a better term) our world context to the visual changes and it’s just super clever. Been loving it so far! 💙
I never thought anybody would ask me, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if Kelly wrote the Powerpuff Girls?" but my answer is "HELL YEAH!" The BoP stuff sounds amazing. I like it when the artists change for a story reason. The covers are incredible.
I'm curious, if you know, will the Powerpuff Girls covers be printed on card stock? Dynamite has been doing that a lot lately, but not always, hoping yr new books will be similarly deluxe! ;) either way, I'm very excited for you!!!

Listen ... you had me at dinosaurs. 😂 But awwww, the Powder Puff Girls! Now there's a blast from my past.
Yesssss
Can’t wait!
Nice 🦖 Can’t wait for that June announcement, Kelly. I wasn’t allowed to watch PPG as a kid but I’ll definitely be checking out this series.
