I've finished drawing Heartstopper!
Hello patrons!!
Well, as the title suggests... I have finished drawing Heartstopper 🥹
I drew the first page in April 2016, and today I drew the last page.
It is a very very emotional moment! But I feel incredibly happy too - so happy to have made it to the end, and so proud of this story!!!
I'll have more to say about the comic ending but I'll save it for when the webcomic actually ends in April! I'm also going to start my monthly Patreon newsletter pretty soon, where I'll give you guys an update about what's happening with this Patreon. Oh and there WILL be a part 3 to my series about the Vol 6 cover very soon! I've been so locked in with the comic that I haven't had a spare moment to write it!
I've still got some more work to do on Vol 6 - some final edits on the comic pages, then all of the bonus pages inside, along with the back cover. But then that'll be officially it!
It feels very surreal! Maybe I could give myself the day off tomorrow...
Thank you so much for the support, everyone!!

We love you, Alice! Thank you so much for everything!
I don't know whether to give you a glass of champagne or a heartfelt hug! 🥂🍾👏👏👏 I can certainly thank you for all the joy you and the crew have brought me over the last 10 years...
Thank you Alice ☺️ I hope you will feel such a sense of achievement along with the obvious sense of sadness. Just know how much we appreciate you and your wonderful characters! Nick and Charlie are so special to all of us and that will never change. We will be massively happy any time you decide to revisit them! Enjoy a wonderful day off (and more if you get the chance!!) So happy that I found you, Heartstopper and this community! Look after yourself 🫶🫶🫶🫂
Alice we are going to miss Nick and Charlie when you are finally done ❤️ is there any updates on when we will gets some promo’s for the movie ? XX
Congrats Alice!!! Hope you are taking today off💕🍂
Congrats Alice !!! <3 <3
Bittersweet!!! What an achievement. Thank you SO SO much Alice for the joy that is Heartstopper 🫶 I hope you’re feeling okay and have some nice things planned? Can’t wait to see where the last pages take us on the Heartstopper journey, what a ride - a beautiful celebration of love 🍂 X
Congratulations 😍🥰💪🏽 amazing work.
I think some days off are well deserved! An amazing capstone to a rare achievement!
Always and Forever. Thank you Alice ❤️
Nearly 10 years exactly how cool is that!
Congratulations!!!
It has recently occurred to me over the few months the connections and similarities I have between nick and charlie lol!! When I was around 3- i had my 'blankie' just like nick- i also had a blackish grey cat whom I named CHARLIE and at the same age I was obsessed with spiderman (throwing it back to the page drawn of char dressed as spiderman), im also similar to nick in the sense of people a people pleaser and putting others first, i do like my rugby- but not as much as him (in terrible at it, I only watch when my team plays haha), and for Charlie, well, yeah😅 (academically, bullying, mental health from said bullying,) so this series and pages you have drawn i really saw myself in, cannot wait to see the epilogue 🩷
Officially petitioning for another livestream (if you have the time!)
Congratulations Alice, its a massive achievement to have managed to craft such a beautiful story over a decade! I hope you're doing well during this busy and emotional time
thankyou u alice for everything u have put in u are amazing person and i love every page thankyou again
yay alice!!! you saw this project through right to the very end!! what a gift!!
Thank you, Alice. I don’t know what else to say. Your art led to some pretty amazing things in my life. I know your life has changed too. Here’s to new experiences, new characters, new artwork, and A chance to rest the future. And again, thank you.
Congrats Alice!! So many emotions for you I’m sure and we are SO PROUD of you 💜 And yeah, I think you deserve many days off after this 😘
Congratulations and thank you a million times for this story ♥️
Truly incredible -- the end of an era in your life and by extension for all of us. It suddenly occurred to me that you started drawing those first pages about 6 weeks before I retired from 37 years of secondary teaching -- English and Theatre. 2016 was a turning point for me, but I wasn't aware that another turning point was already coming. The single piece of storytelling that has most affected me in all my adult years was being begun as I was winding my career down. I can't ever thank you enough for the deep self-examination and joy your work has brought me. CONGRATULATIONS and thank you.
Woohooo congrats Alice!!
You are my hero, Alice. Your work has changed my life!
This is such an incredible achievement! Congratulations! 🎉🥳
Amazing, Alice! Congratulations! Enjoy your time off. 🎉🥂

Congrats Alice!! Your comic was my first follow on Tapas years and years ago and it’s been amazing to see it stay so good with everything that happened to Charlie and Nick and then the TV series!! It’s been so thrilling to see it get such great reviews and do so well and I know I have nothing to do with it but I can’t help feeling so proud of the boys and of you! Well done!!

Alice, thank you for the truly beautiful gift of this story, in so many different ways: the graphic novels, the Mini-comics, the show, the lives, and now the movie. You have touched so many lives in so many ways. I only wish I had found you sooner! Enjoy some much needed rest! We love you! 🥰
this got me all teary eyed at the cafe!! congratulations!!
I will never forget, what I did, when you posted this, because this moment is so special. 🥹❤️
You deserve a break and judging by the look of things maybe a few long hugs. Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment and hopefully you can really get a longer break soon to look back and bask in glory!
🥲🥲🥲🥲 <333
What a momentous life achievement moment - to know that you have touches si many hearts and souls and you left an indelible mark in the Universe. So many read and read Heartstopper, now and forever. ❤️
That feeling of kind of relief and sorrow must be overwhelming. Take your time to process this. We love you soooo much for this incredible beautiful story! Forever grateful for each single page you draw! Sending lots of love!
Take tomorrow off for whatever self care you need to do. I'm sad it is ending, though I think it is time, but I'm so excited for the epilogue and it will be released on a day when I can totally crash out, and be with my HS peeps!! Thank you for creating this incredible world. We will miss it, but also know there will be glimpses of it in the future!
First, congratulations Alice! It took you almost 10 years, you are phenomenal! ♥️🎂🥳 I am proud of how you were working on Heartstopper every year constantly, making a TV series etc. It's incredible! You deserve a long break after all those years! 💚 It feels both sad and kind of happy, I am happy we are getting closer to getting a final volume published. Confusing emotions. I am happy for you. Take a break, you deserve it! Yeah, and time to process. I guess I need to unwind and let it settle down.
You’re amazing, Alice! Thank you for the gift of Heartstopper! 🥹🥰
Congratulations it has been amazing watching the story change and grow over th years ❤️
It would take a better writer than me to express everything you have gifted us Alice so for now I'll just say, from the bottom of our hearts thank you and we love you ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations and thank you so, so, so much for this beautiful story!🥳🥹🫶👏
congratulations!! my heart is so full but breaking at the same time
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing everything and hoping you get some rest along the way!
congratulations Alice!!! so bittersweet… lots of love and rest and relief to you ♥️♥️♥️♥️
LOVE! Thank you!
how bittersweet 🥺 congrats!!!
Congrats! What a beautiful full circle! Thank you for bringing us on the journey!
Alice, look at what your mind and heart have made 💗💗
Thank you Alice for sharing this ♥️
Congratulations! Please take time to rest, you deserve it! We're all so grateful for the care, effort, and love you've put into Heartstopper all these years. 💜
Aaaah, Alice. The struggle between seeing the beauty and celebration of being able to end Heartstopper when and how you envisioned it, versus the sadness and grief that comes with being "done." I think that is why endings are meant to be a sacred space of messiness and uncertainty...there is this push and pull of really deep emotions that leaves you feeling so heavy, and there is also this mixed hope that comes from finally having the potential space and freedom you have longed for at times to see what comes next for you, even as you grieve the daily routine that revolved around Heartstopper. Sacred spaces allow for growth and creativity and rejuvenation and peace...and, eventually, I hope you can take a moment to pause and breathe and to just be...but right now, today, I am sending hugs and tissues and reminders that it's okay to be sad...I'm sad too. Heartstopper has given you and us readers SO much...and that isn't something that says goodbye easily. Take extra good care of you today...light a candle, play the piano, and know you are so loved and appreciated. Congratulations on having created such a hopeful, healing, happy romance story. You did it!!!
How could I love you more?!
Congratulations!! ❤️🎉
Many kisses and hugs😘😘😘😘😘😘
Thank and congratulations Alice. It was a journey and its been a delightful gift
