Sharing the video of this because it’s such a ghoulish thing to say that I’m honestly in disbelief that I even heard her properly

Yes! Comics may be quick reads, but that also means they’re easy to reread. I rarely reread prose, but I’ve read my favorite GNs multiple times.

Knowing that readers can easily revisit my work makes me so happy. That they can just casually flip to a favorite scene. That’s cool!
