Back then, as a kid, you could really just do whatever you wanted until your parents got home.

Nothing I've worked on has been asked this much of me to put it on the page [like Paper Girls].

We wanted the book [Paper Girls] to feel to evoke the '80s, but not necessarily feel that it was drawn then.

One of my favorite comics is Love and Rockets by the Hernandez Brothers. They do such a wonderful job of showing you how the character of Maggie ages and really doesn't present that with any kind of judgment.

[Paper Girls] is very much is about how we are thinking about our past and growing up.

[Paper Girls] needed to have a certain kind of almost neon style to it, but at the same time we wanted also to show the modern perspective that we had.
