[edit] adult

"Though the comic is largely targeted at an adult audience, it does garner critial merit for occasional political commentary." Using "adult" as an euphemism for "erotic" or "pornographic" makes this sentence sound like only children are interested in political commentary. I think the erotic nature of the comic should be mentioned more directly. — JIP | Talk 11:18, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] move this article to new name

This article needs to be renamed to Cherry (adult comic book character) or Cherry Popstar or something like that. Cherry Poptart was just used for two issues out of a large number of them and fails the rule that article titles are named after the most well known version of the name. 172.146.210.38 07:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The "Cherry Popstar" stuff is bogus. That name was used in a single story in issue #13 where she actually portrayed a pop star. If you look at all other stories, even in that same issue, it is just Cherry, as on the cover. Except in that one story, no one has ever called her Cherry Popstar. Do a google search of it and the only hits refer to the story in issue 13. Waynesewell 20:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

That's utter nonsense. Any time her last name was used in the comics after the threatened lawsuits it was always "Popstar." The claim that it was only in #13 and for when she was acting as a rock star is false. There's also issue #7 where she held her own convention and had people dress up like her for a look a like contest and also others I don't have anymore. If you are trying to write an encyclopedia based upon what you can turn up on your own Google serach instead of actual first hand knowledge about the topic then you really shouldn't be editing other people's work. 216.165.158.7 07:05, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Also in #9 when she goes to see a guidance counsellor and the counsellor calls her "Ms. Popstar"... And I can recall another instance as well but am having trouble finding it... So far that's three confirmed references though, which shows the editor above to be completely and utterly wrong. 216.165.158.7 07:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] more bad info

The article also used to link to cherrycomics.com claiming it was the site of the artist... this is false. It's just a fan site by someone completely unaffiliated with the artist or publisher, and someone cybersquatting on the name. It also has not been updated to reflect a large number of new issues that came out since that site was put up. For proof, see [1] 216.165.158.7 07:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
