Show Notes: Detecting some anime influences in the writing and pacing. Yes? Faves? Joel You obviously like to sprinkle a does of silly humor in your comics. Why not a serious tone? Joel What is your collaborative process like? Walk us through the writing - and then some of the art production unique to Little Guardians. Joel Established a sketchy style to your art early. Out of necessity? Blessing in disguise? Joel Lee, the more LG I read the more it feels like a storyboard. Any experience or desire in that area? Joel At some point in the story you imply that the setting might be Earth in the distant future. Care to elaborate? Matt You have quite a few interesting demons. Are any of them inspired by existing mythology? If not, how do you dream them up? Matt Do the two of you occasionally butt heads over story or artwork? Matt Theres a few references to video game rpgs. Any favorites? Matt Your writing seems to be self aware. Were you aware of that? Is that from studying film so much? Does everything sound like a cliche to you? Brian you draw horses real good. Did you go to school for that? Did you buy that Jack Hamm Animal Book? is there anything you hate to draw? Brian Death! Baby Swapping! cmon! Any blow back from readers, George RR Martin? Brian What are your tools as an artist? as a writer? Brian Are you spiritual? Brian Lee, tell our listeners more about the Indy Webcomics Group you run in Indianapolis... Joel Biosphere? Seriously? Joel Kyle Latinos Site for notes: http://www.ktino.com andnbsp; andnbsp;
