@@Childishju Ah, yeah man, you're really just scratching the tip of the iceberg with Bleedman. He is. A lot. Minnie and Jr's "forbidden love" though is a pretty major theme further along in Grim Tales. Nothing really obscene happens directly in the comic (that I recall. It's been a lotta years since I read it), but it's definitely sold to reader as something pure that Jr. should just let Minnie have, cuz she's suffered so much for him, or whatever.

I have actually met Bleedman(Vinzon Ngo) several times around the late 2000s. I graduated from the same college and fine arts department he was from. At that time PPGD already peaked and he was cashing in on it. I think he was the most followed artist on Deviantart seconded only by Endling. Needless to say Vinzon is very socially awkward and almost always went about his business alone. It was anybody's best guess why that was the case. The guy's always obscured in the shadows or only tallked to his other elite friends, being that he's a son of a wealthy elite. And it's no secret what he was into. It was something also very commonly talked about among new students in our fine arts department and the alumni who knew who he was before, during, and after his fame. There's no nice way to say it but I don't think anyone really liked him IRL around here. There's also a teacher who's still in the faculty of the fine arts dept who used to work with Vinzon and other ambitious local artists during the peak of PPGD and I vaguely remember his sentiments about it being that most of the artists involved were so arrogant that any effort to collaborate fell into moot. Bleedman being one of the harder people to work with. Take all this with a grain of salt. It's mostly stuff I've seen, and heard from those who were all within a good enough proximity of him.

[@Childishju]

Wow that’s insane, his work really gave him a reputation in real life? I’m not surprised by any of that. Him acting pretentious because he was a popular artist online checks out completely. Really cool story! I wonder if he was always like this or if he was changed by his internet popularity

[@otaking3582]

It's likely that the inconsistencies between comic and screen were due to the former being based on earlier drafts of the scripts. You'll see this all the time with movie novelizations or tie-in video games.

[@Childishju]

Yeah that’s probably the case, interesting to see what could have been before it was changed though

Hey, don't forget that Roysovitch and Phil-Cho that they made Powerpuff Girls characters of/on Earth-27 artstyle who are now DC characters along with Ghostbusters, Scooby Doo, Hellboy, Mortal Kombat, TMNT, Supernatural, Fables, even Marvel Characters, also PPG were Australians and an actual Townsville in Australia all this time so the girls speak with different Australian accents. Blossom has a cultivated accent, Bubbles has a general accent, and Buttercup has the broad accent. In Earth-27, The Powerpuff Girls were created by Prof. Drake Utonium using the same thing as Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice but they're an actually reborn from Kryptonite, Red, Blue, and Green Kryptonite created the Powerpuff Girls along with Chemical X, Element X/Tenth Metal, and a Motherbox thanks to Prof. Utonium. Due to a combination of the Chemical X and Element X reacting with a Mother Box, so the trio were half-human and half-Kryptonian along with the same powers as Superman except they had their own unique abilities. According to Roysovitch and Phil-Cho, In the original cartoon, the girls are American. Here, they're Australian due to their hometown Townsville being the real city in Queensland, Australia instead of the fictional one in the US. With "sugar, spice, and everything nice" formed the Powerpuff Girls in a ASIS propaganda commercial; in reality, a monstrous abomination birthed the girls, who adopted Professor Utonium as their father. Named Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, they had vague memories of being part of an alien Motherbox, giving them knowledge and fighting skills - not to mention some kickass superpowers. When the police arrested their daddy Drake Utonium for suspicion of terrorism, he convinced the girls to let him surrender. The girls later proved their loyalty to the good people of Australia by defeating Mojo Jojo and his terrors in Townsville. In exchange for Utonium's cooperation, ASIS pardoned Utonium and branded the girls as Australian heroes, "The Powerpuff Girls".

But it’s very surprising how much controversy he’d gotten for his work. Like damn. Another artist who’s a creep.

I currently own a few of the DC comics as I was a ppg collector growing up. My favorite one will always be the 50th one, introducing the PowerPunk Girls. So many people thought they were fan made characters. My favorite lore about this particular issue was that they were originally gonna be adapted into the series. But the movie scrapped the idea, and instead they got their comic story!

[@Childishju]

I want to read that comic so bad. I’m definitely gonna buy it along with a couple other issues soon because I love the idea of punk Powerpuff girls. They might deserve their own video in the future. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive to buy the lot of ppg comics lol

[@MrWii000]

I consider Bleedman’s POG serirs the “definitive”follow-up to the classic 90s show; I would love to see this become an animated series (as unlikely as it would be with all the licensing).

[@Childishju]

That would be really cool to see

[@Power-9Hunnid]

Seems like some of those stories that were adapted through the book might have been retcon once the tv counterparts came along. Reminds me what the "DCAU" was doing back them with "Gotham Adventures" and such. The specific original stories that eventually were changed later might just take place in another parallel demention.

[@Childishju]

Yeah that would be closer to what I’m thinking too. Maybe lightly altered timelines or the issues that were retconned are the only ones not canon

[@Mespoina]

AHHHH thx for the shout out! And I'm glad you were able to make a video on this, personally i truly did love PPGD but nowadays i can't help but feel like most of it is fueled by nostalgia, i've noticed a lot of problems pop up even in the earlier chapters of the comics for starters there isn't really any worldbuilding like why are all these cartoon characters living together in the same town, is this a city of heroes? what exactly is going on here? i don't need a reason for every little detail but this seems is weirdly specific and i find it very strange that it was never touched on and that we're just supposed to roll with it but in all honesty it would have been fine if he actually knew how to utilize the characters seriously this guy does not know how to use the characters he already has he either relies way too much on ocs or doesn't know how to properly establish character dynamics, the only character dynamic that he ever took the time to nurture was blossom and dexter everyone else got thrown to the wayside we could have gotten some cool interaction (that's usually the appeal of crossovers after all) , mandy and bubbles are implied to become friends but nothing ever really comes of that, we see Buttercup make friends but we NEVER got to see any of them interact with her except Tootie and we could have gotten to see student mentor relationship from samurai Jack and Dexter which leads me into my next bit of criticism why isn't jack their teacher? I mean yeah he's the gym teacher yes, but why isn't he the teacher in charge of the girls' class? It would have made way more sense if he where the one overseeing the kids rather than this random woman, it's not uncommon for teachers to teach multiple subjects and the comic itself acknowledges that jack is very knowledgeable on a lot of different topics and he seems relatively good with young children so it seemed like a pretty good fit, this would have given the kids a mentor and an adult to confidence and watch over them because at the end of the day they are like 11 and they do still need someone to keep an eye on them, SO YEAH! WHY PUT HIM ON THE COVER IF HE'S JUST A RANDOM SIDE CHARACTER! also I'm pretty sure the only reason this comic is still well remembered to this day is because of the Blossom and Dexter relationship and rightfully so it was one more well thought out plot points of the entire manga (in the earlier chapters at least) and i am ashamed to admit that i am one of those people that don't really remember any of the villains except for bell because she's an evil powerpuff girls ohhhh.... also wtf Mandark kills himself! He literally had the potential for a redemption arc but no he just offs himself because at this point i think Bleedman was more concerned about being edgy then actually telling a good story! I could honestly go on and on but i don't want to clog up the comment section too much so i'll probably join the discord so i can rant properly but yeah good video and thanks again for the shout out

[@chrisrockett5897]

I'm guessing it's a CN City kinda thing.

[@Childishju]

Firstly no problem, I’m glad I was able to mention you! And yeah I gotta be honest I only read the first couple chapters but I did really like what I saw, it’s a bit cluttered because of how much us going on but besides that it is a really fun concept and does remind me of city of hero’s lmao. I do plan on actually doing a deep dive on everything that happens in ppgd but I just could figure out how to format that type of video but I’m gonna keep working on it because it’s definitely something I’m interested in diving deeper into. There were definitely a lot of weird moments in those first couple of issues but I do love some of the ideas they had. I also don’t get why jack is just a gym teacher and not their actual sensi. But the comics history and bleedmans controversy are enough to have its own video as it is. But before that I’m thinking of doing a ppg iceberg? Possibly. Please recommend any ideas though, your video ideas are always fantastic.

I've never read Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, Grim Tales From Down Below, or any other of Bleedman's comics.

Would you consider the comics any good?

There’s no doubt bleedmans art is incredible I won’t deny that. And yeah I’ve heard they are really good, I’m only just starting to read them myself and I’ve been really enjoying them.

Between 9/11 be caused by Mandy, the possible incest, Mandy cheating on Grim and unalived babies, Bleedman's comic deserved to lose the support. To say controversy was to put it lightly. The Powerpuff Girls one was a sad casuality. The anime was a fever dream tho

[@Childishju]

Literally insane that they had these ideas, thought about them, created the art, had the team approve of them, and still decided to release it. It was bound to fall off at some point

[@PaperbackWriter92]

I'll just say this about the Bleedman thing (which honestly was news to me until this video since I had never read Grim Tales in full or looked too closely at his art), I only knew of him because of PPGD obviously because it's so popular. I'm not condoning his disgusting behavior in any way and because the comic has gone on so long I've lost track of the entire plot. Maybe it's just me but I thought it was clever to pair Blossom and Dexter together because she's depicted as the intelligent sister, she was artificially created by her father figure scientist (Professor Utonium) and Dexter is depicted as a genius scientist which means his technology and inventions could aid Blossom and her sisters in fighting crime. I can imagine them being a cool power couple as adults if such a crossover was done by an artist who knew to avoid age gaps or maybe as an AU where they're the same age but everything else about their character is the same. I can also imagine Dexter wanting to study Chemical-X himself to learn more about it's properties since it's where Blossom's powers come from and it's a unique substance. As for the DC comics, I can't really speak to how canon they are because unfortunately I didn't manage to collect all 50-something issues as a kid but I know I had several. I see them occasionally on Marketplace sites like Mercari so I do intend to collect them since some issues weren't too insane in the price department. I didn't know that "Stray Bullet" or "Moral Decay" originally started as comics so it would be interesting to see how they differ from the episodes I know. I'm a 32 year old Millennial so PPG was naturally part of the culture I had known back then. I also vaguely remember that "Dexter's Laboratory" had a similar comic series by DC that ran about as long so it would be interesting to see a video about that, then IDW did a comic series which apparently only lasted four issues. I managed to find the first IDW issue on Amazon for a good price and I intend to collect the DC comics, the rest of the IDW comics as well as the new 2024 PPG comics by Dynamite.

Slightly maybe but the two are not really similar. I think the fan comic made people want more serious Powerpuff girls

[@TECH097]

ALAS, PPG/SBFF never happened. It was a fan mock-up when the series was just a handful of shorts, and NOT the new incarnation of the DC Superhero Girls series...whiiich is weird considering that when it WAS an official TV series they never got a crossover comic that was...all SORTS of obvious since Lauren is Craig's wife and she not only wrote so many PPG eps, she also MADE SBFF/DC Superhero Girls G2...

This was a great video, a good beginning overview.. that being said not sure why the IDW comics main run was treated as a footnote. Those were I think some of their highest quality comics overall. Not that the crossover issues were bad at all, all of the IDW material was awesome. I can understand not including the PPGZ manga in this video though because it is pretty darn obscure and kind of mediocre, though it at least does have plenty of original ideas in it. That being said i'd love it if if overpowered androids were more of a thing in the franchise like Alpha and Beta were in that work. I also think the Choose Your Own adventure style books clearly don't count as comics but they are too cool for me not to recc looking into, I mean they had an evil clone of buttercup (Bittercup) walk so that the Rowdyruffs could fly. It's not a problem though because it means you have the potential to ma more future videos ha ha ;-) Apologies if any of that was covered in your other vids, I'm still catching up. I really had not considered if PPGD helped to create comics like Super Secret Crisis wars. Thanks for the work!

[@TailsClock]

I think we can in 2024 be mature enough to not demonise a guy for his taste in loli. But I remember actively reading the comic back in the day when I got to that bit. I always remembered it as Grim being the one that did it though, not Mandy. It was definitely one of the best fancomics of it's time but that moment annihilated it's reputation. Feels so weird to hear that comic mentioned so many years later. I imagine most of the people watching this video were born after the last time I read a page... Oh and nice to hear about the official comics. I was never aware there even were any until now. Fun that they stole some of the better elements of Bleedman's comic.

[@Childishju]

Maybe you’re right. I’ll try to be more considerate in the future. The web comics aren’t really bad it’s more the controversial things that give it a bad wrap. And it doesn’t help that they have no end in sight and are just making issues for the sake of doing so. But yeah could definitely be worse

Tis is true. Only 6 seasons and a movie but idk maybe if you add every cartoon episode from all incarnations of the ppg it comes to around 300 idk

[@CosmicSponge2004]

Personally, I feel like the DC Comics are canon but any Episode adaptations override those issues. This is because CN also did compilation comics from 1995-2012. Some of those included original powerpuff stories along with other CN Shows. One of the Billy and Mandy comics would later be referenced in the Season 5 epsiode "Keeper of the Reaper" with a Scooby-Doo Cameo. Plus the shows and comics would often share writers. At least in the cause for PPG & GAOBAM since those are the only ones I ever really looked into. Idk about IDW since I never got around to it. The solo IDW Comics could be canon cause they have no reason not to but I feel like the crossover stuff is non-canon. 1. Since the Punch Time Explosion Video Game isn't canon 2. Unless they do dimension hopping stuff, it would kinda be a GAOTKND situation. Basically, Billy & Mandy had a Kids Next Door crossover in 2007. This crossover can't be canon since both shows have Christmas episodes that are important to the series lore. The santas and whole christmas system are vastly different in B&M compared to KND. Both also deviating from the powerpuff girls' potrayal in *it's* Christmas special. Hope that helps atleast Also, as a PPGD reader it is SO DANG CONVOLUTED. Everything after 2014 is kinda messy and the long wait between chapters without rereading can easily make you forget what's going on. And the output's been slow since 2010

[@Childishju]

That’s not a bad way of looking at it, you may be right. I mean it would make sense that the only issues that wouldn’t be considered canon would be the ones they overwrote in the series itself. But could we really consider it all canon, even with the idw stuff? It makes sense that it would be the case but I just wish we had a more clear timeline because besides the movie it’s hard to tell when anything takes place. If we get any answers I will definitely make another video but yeah it’s an interesting topic, also yeah I’m sure any ppgd hardcore fans have dropped off since. Especially with the lack of content and the incoherent story. It sounds like it’s just one big mess of characters with no end in sight unfortunately. But I know some people still get enjoyment out of it so that’s cool. But I hear we getting new official ppg comics soon so that’ll be really fun

In my opinion, I think the DC comics are a degree of canon, and honestly in the case of Moral Decay, the comic counterpart is better than the episode! The comics were also good because you would get original villains, or some villains who were originally one-offs getting a new plot (White Kitty and Abracadaver coming to mind). The IDW Comics- there is a lot more to look at than just the crossover stuff. Particularly the "Second Chances" arc, which in my opinion, serves as a good character conclusion for Fuzzy, the Gangreen Gang, and Princess. I think of it as canon, considering Ace later went on to be a Gorillaz member. Bleedman is honestly, a hack. He relied so hard on the crossover stuff and anime style that people obsessed over in the 2000s, but as an actual PPG comic, his doujin is pretty terrible. His depiction of HIM, removing all of his flamboyance honestly makes me think he might be homophobic on top of the loli and incest crap.

[@Childishju]

I’m thinking that I’m going to look deeper into not only the ppg comics but every Cartoon Network comic and discuss their canon or lack of. I find it really interesting and yeah I need to read a bit deeper into them because those Powerpuff comics are pretty great. As far as bleedman goes yeah i know a lot of people love them but they are definitely a mess and there’s no end in sight for the comic so it’s something that I wouldn’t recommend to people to read.
