1. Thanks for joining us on the AIPT Comics podcast. To start, Kill Your Darlings was described when first announced as Narnia meets Hereditary. Can you unpack that a bit for us?
2. It’s safe to say this is a passion project for you guys, when did the bud of this story begin to take root?
3. Bob, I simply love the crayon drawings the protagonist Rose makes, how do you approach drawing in a little kid style like that and making it feel genuine?
4. Bob - do you draw in sequence, or do you take fantasy stuff first, then real world? Vice-versa?
5. The main story takes place in the mid-90s, is there any significance to this being set then?
6. Did any of you have imaginary friends growing up? If so, what were their names?
7. The title is so great, but I gotta ask, did you have to kill any darlings as far as ideas or visuals while making this?
8. Printed under the KLC Press label, can you talk a little bit about the label and how you’re connected with it?
