I often read James Blundell's comic book blog, A Comic Book Addict!!, and in May 2017 he posted "So I Wrote a Comic". He described the process by which he and artist Ayoade Abobarin created a four-page comic titled "The Hipster Beard". I wanted to know more, so I invited James and Ayoade to talk about their experience.
