Photos of Khary smiling. But since that is impossible always love behind-the-scenes process stuff, like the character dev post from a few weeks ago.

Before we even started, I told Khary I was going to do a whole post of pics of him smiling

I'd like a mix of the process, upcoming stuff along with some good ole fashion story telling. Past works, key influences, etc. Also fun to have some live interactions/webcasts.

I would love a song and dance routine with the both of you. If not, maybe tell us about how where you both grew up influenced what you do for a living>

I like learning about the process, events, situations, luck, and practices that leads to the creation of the products you both produce. For me, that includes everything, including personal stories. I feel like our personalize lives impact our work. I love the art, reference art/photos, sketches, mind maps/brainstorms, videos, podcasts, and anything that moved you to one step forward on what to do next. I like mistakes and missteps and dead ends. I like fortune, unexpected surprises, routines, and impulses. I like learning about new things or discovering we have similar likes that remind us that we are connected. I love learning about what you are reading, enjoying, within and outside of the comic industry. I would love to hear about the progress on your graphic novel about your grandfather, the wrestling book, Khary's days in animation and what drew him there and what led up to him deciding comics was his calling. I love to learning about what excites, frustrates, inspires, creates barriers for you. What makes you laugh? I'm new to your world and I'm interested in learning whatever you are willing to share. I find when I learn about cartoonists, artist, and writers, I enjoy their work on a deeper level. And while we aren't "friends" in the traditional sense, I find myself rooting for you the more I get to know you. Thanks for asking. I like that. :)

I love a balance of comics content, personal stories, creative inspiration, industry stories, and process. Also more 80s/90s nostalgia and cowbell.... always more cowbell.

I would actually prefer less personal stuff.

I would like to see more inside industry knowledge. As someone who's been trying to break into comics as both a creator and on the publishing side, a big barrier is the opaqueness of comics and how much people get paid and how stuff gets published and whatnot. That is something that would be very helpful and hopefully maybe shed some light on some of the more troublesome elements of this industry.

I think there's a bunch of people following you guys that makes no idea about the business side of comics. Are there contracts? How those come about? When asked about what new musicians should have, Taylor Swift answer was: a lawyer. Do you thing the same goes for newcomers in the comic book business? Should writers and artists learn about legal stuff up front?
