charming
delightful
darling
thoughtful
winsome ... I’m trying to
come up with synonyms for “sweet”.
“Sweet” just doesn't sound right when
considering the webcomic Princess Princess. The story is just so that saying too much
gives the whole dang thing away, but I would most definitely describe the
webcomic as charming and thoughtful. Two delightful Princesses, Sadie and Amira,
go off in search of adventure all in winsome shades of pink, purple, and burgundy.
I found this comic
through a lucky click on The Mary Sue in a post by Isabella Kapur, Brooke Jaffe, and Susana Polo on 40 WEBCOMICS YOU NEED TO READ. Specifically, Princess Princess came recommended
from Isabella
Kapur.
I
have always loved Webcomics; right now I’m in the middle of reading the ongoing
Strong Female Protagonist by Brennan Lee Mulligan and Molly Ostertag, (also on the The Mary Sue’s list) and the also
ongoing Monster Pop! By Maya Kern. And as I continue to explore the 40 new suggestions I
am guaranteed to have started many more by the end of tonight.
Before you
think I’m about to send you off into the vortex of some webcomic that will
drain away your entire afternoon. (As many a webcomic are known to do) Princess Princess is unique as it is a completed stand alone story that is only 44 pages
in length. Short & darling just doesn't have the same alliteration to it.
The art of
Princess Princess is probably what will get the most attention. From the
masterful colouring to the character designs that express everything unsaid in
just 44 pages. I could not have loved this more. It reminded me a lot of the graphic novel Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol in that the art is very expressive and colourful. If you enjoyed that
tone of art and story you should check
out Princess Princess.
Packed with a
narrative punch and tons of blunt humor, Princess Princess is so nice you will
most certainly read it twice!
