Last May, you might remember how the company Hobonichi Shinbun (owned by Mother series' creator Shigesato Itoi) launched the 'Hobonichi Mother Project'.
It included a Pollyanna tribute comic - featuring comics and illustrations handled by 35 manga artists and writers - including Toby Fox (Undertale). Now, in an update, Pollyanna 2 has been announced:
Pre-orders will open in Japan later this month on 21st October and the book will go on sale on 28th October. Toby Fox also returns!
You can take a look at the first comic in our original post.
What do you think of this second Mother tribute comic? What other EarthBound/Mother-related announcements would you like to see? Comment below.

Mother remasters confirmed!
Since nobody will comment about the actual comic: I adore the style, it's so weird and charming in tune with the games, I'm not much of a collector of merchandise, but I'll look into buying a copy if it ever makes its way to the west, maybe if they sell a lot of copies they'll see that this franchise has a very big following, especially as of late.
They brought back Advance Wars, maybe they can bring the Mother series back in the same way? I wouldn't even mind WayForward doing it, I think their art style could benefit those wacky games.
Ah, I knew this wouldn't just peter out like it was nothing. I still believe that some kind of game announcement will come out of this, most likely being a Mother trilogy remake.
+25 years and this game is still being cherished, what a magical thing it is. its one of the few times i wish i could replay a game for the first time again
I need to get my hands on these!
Can you imagine a remake of Earthbound done in the style of that cover art?
People need to remember that Shigesato Itoi isn’t interested in making new Mother games, hence Nintendo isn’t either. I wish they’d port them to the NSO virtual console though. Gorgeous comic.
@DiggleDog The Earthbound/Mother series is one of the few series I know of that's gotten an official conclusion, most of the time they just end unceremoniously because of whatever reasons without any real announcement.
I personally think the franchise just needs to be made more available. Beyond the 3rd game, we still don't have Earthbound or Beginnings on Switch, which I'd hope will lead to a big remaster collection.
So where’s earthbound. 😐
Game Itoi. Give us the last game in the west. Please and thanks.
