Right before I started Strange Planet I tried to launch a series called Dolphlock Bones: Fishteries Mysteries. Dolphin solving mysteries with an assistant, Flotsam. It did not take off! Strange Planet was not my first try.

If you are trying to make something try many somethings
I try to share it as often as possible to break through the perception of “instant, overnight success.” That idea used to intimidate me so much as someone who works better with iterations!
creative journey for me has not been like climbing a mountain as much as walking along a long ridge looking for the right opening to be able to cross (but also it’s raining sometimes?)
to extend the metaphor, I have found that the point is not to be at a high place and stay there but to explore a lot of ground and find new ✨openings✨

Pinned objects can fall off and create an opportunity for a story.

if you are anthropomorphizing, focus on making the object recognizable (you can make the limbs and face very simple)

people ask me how to start a comic sometimes and honestly one of the best tips I can give you is to work many different jobs.

I spent a couple summers learning just how difficult serving was. It is hard and thankless and requires impressive emotional regulation
I spent another summer as a day camp counselor and learned just how hilarious kids are when they say precisely what they are thinking about their anxieties.
Parent/child dialogues can be drawn from the internal monologue we all have (between our responsible internal being and our honest internal young being)
