In film, you have the luxury of accomplishing what you need in 24 frames every second. Comics, you only have five or six panels a page to do that.

Each collected edition of Paper Girls that we put out will largely be set in an entirely different era.

I realized that for fantasy and science fiction, especially from my youth, white was the default. Luke Skywalker was in the lead, or even if you were a hobbit, you're going to be white. That was an extremely old-fashioned, obviously really narrow-minded way to look at things.

That was the appealing thing about comics: There literally is no budget in comics. You're only limited by your imagination.
