  Jimmy did several interviews before Thought Bubble Festival that he had planned on doing there. This way, his interview schedule wouldn't be too busy at the show. He met up with his friend Emma Vieceli in Cambridge for lunch, shopping and dinner. They did a fun interview in her home with the family cat Ragnarok making a couple of appearances. They talked about her hit webcomic BREAKS, her run on LIFE IS STRANGE, musical theater and more. Thanks to Emma and Pud for having Jimmy over for the night. Always a blast! Also, get a hold of us! Thanks for listening!
