Torreya and Shichimi

A colour illustration of two fictional characters from the comic series Pepper&Carrot. Torreya, a young dragon pilot with brown spiky hair and green eyes, wearing her pilot's goggles and a red kimono. In her arms, cuddling, is Shichimi, short hair, very light blonde, and red eyes. She wears a lighter kimono with floral decorations. The pose is intimate, but both figures look at the viewer with confidence and determination.

I wanted to take a moment with this artwork to express my gratitude to everyone who commented and showed support after I reposted last week the email asking me to erase the relation between these two characters from my comic for homophobic reasons ( https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/114024633213361982 ).

I was overwhelmed by your amount of responses, but in a good way.

Thanks for all this support against hate and intolerance. This only strengthens my motivation to continue in this way with more artworks like that.

Object: Request for Minor Adjustment to Episode 36 (Page 10) of Pepper & Carrot

Dear Mr. David Revoy,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm an avid reader of your wonderful work Pepper & Carrot and would love to share it with children in my family. However, I noticed something in Episode 36 (Page 10) that might concern some parents: the scene where Torreya and Shichimi kiss, followed by Pepper explicitly stating they're a couple.

While I deeply respect your creative choices, many conservative parents worldwide prefer to avoid exposing children to romantic relationships between same-sex characters. To make your masterpiece more accessible to families across different cultures, could I kindly suggest modifying this scene? Perhaps replacing the kiss with a friendly cheek kiss, and describing Torreya and Shichimi as "close friends" rather than romantic partners? This subtle approach would allow readers to interpret their relationship naturally while maintaining the story's charm.

Your consideration of this small adjustment would help families like mine introduce your beautiful artwork to younger audiences without hesitation. Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to inspire us with Pepper's magical world.

Warm regards,
February 18, 2025

All good. I've been enjoying reading your comic from the beginning as a result of the bozo complaining.

Loving your artwork and general vibe for the characters so far.

How many episodes do I have to look forward to until I've caught up?

@pseudonym, and – oh no – I just reached the kiss scene! My innocence is now ruined!

@davidrevoy, P&C is a very cute comic! And I can even read it in my native tongue (albeit with some spelling mistakes), woohoo! I love it!
