About
Paper Doll Veronika is a story of adventure, magic, dresses, and a bit of allegory, told through paper dolls. Half collage, half puppetry, it’s the traditional-media equivalent of an elaborate sprite comic. Here is an interview I gave about the process!
Everything on any given page is cut from hand-drawn or patterned paper, except for dialogue text, which is placed digitally.
I consider this comic appropriate for approximately ages 7 and up, but parents should know there are some frightening and disturbing elements, much like old fairy tales, including deaths of major characters. There is a fair amount of violence, usually visually consisting of dolls getting torn and small splats of red-ink-on-red-paper blood. There is one mention of a man “having an affair” with a woman and begetting an illegitimate child, and one occasion where a man attempts to marry another man’s wife; these are explicitly stated to be bad. The word “damn” is used a few times. There is magic, portrayed as good/neutral when derived from the natural order of creation and bad when derived from demonic powers.
Characters and comic are copyright 2019-2024 to Mary MacArthur.
The comic updates on Fridays.
