This week Tayla is joined by Jeremy Whitley (Princeless, School for Extraterrestrial Girls) and Chris Schweizer (Six Sidekicks of Trigger Keaton, History Comics: Roanoke Colony) to talk about their experience making comics for young people. They also discuss horror movies, video games, and Christmas folklore. During The Last Chapter they discuss: If you could rewrite a book from another character’s point of view, what book and character would you choose?
