Show Notes

Hey Fran! Thank you for taking the time to be on our show. Can you tell us a little bit about Yourself and your Deep Dark Fears?
Do you do requests? Of course you do! How much of your comic is based on request vs your own fears? Has this changed over time?

Have you found most fears you illustrate are universal across gender, race and nationality?
I noticed you have translations in a lot of languages. Are those translations literal or are they modified to fit the region?
Any fears you refuse to tackle? Like too offensive, too specific or too political?
What fear(s) have resonated most with your readers?
What inspired you to take on the role of internet comic psychiatrist? Are you trying to heal the internet by facing one fear at a time? Why a comic?
You have a book! The Creeps. What can I expect to see?
Most of your comics are 4 panels. What is the process you take to convert a submission into a well paced comic? Is it just a knack? or do you have a system?
Tell us about your art process? Are you traditional or digital? Or Both?
Let’s talk shop. Tell us some specifics about the medium(s) you use
How long does it take to produce a comic from submission to comic? Do you have a backlog?
A lot of our listeners are drawing while consuming this podcast. What do you listen to when you draw?
I read you like to work small. Are you afraid of your own art? Why small?
What is your Deepest Darkest Fear? Or are you too afraid to say it out loud?
Are you classically trained or did you make some sort of deal with a guy at the crossroads? How important is art school for aspiring cartoonists in your opinion?
