Two questions: firstly, did you find creating comics based around existing characters more difficult compared to your original work, and secondly, what kind of experience have you taken away from working on Marceline and the Scream Queens, if any?

I really enjoy limitations, either self-imposed or laid out by others. It was great figuring out the Adventure Time characters, a real challenge at first before it gradually felt more natural. I watched the show and read the AT wiki exhaustively for months, and it still took a long while to feel PB and Marceline out.

Working with my editor at BOOM really helped me tighten up my comics, I think. I knew I had to impress Shannon so I made my layouts as clear as possible and simplified dialogue wherever I could. Each chapter was strictly 15 pages and no more, so I had to keep a pace with it. When I’m working on my webcomics, I can stretch out a story too far or get lazy with the art. My plan going forward is to pretend I’m still sending comics to Shannon.
