Interview - Man’s Best - Pornsak Pichetshote and Jesse Lonergan #1 out March 20th

1. Pornsak Pichetshote, Jesse Lonergan, thank you for being on the AIPT comics podcast to talk Man’s Best. This series is so fresh and original, what was the bud of the idea that inspired it?
2. 5 crosstalk
3. Can you talk a little about the personalities of our three pet protagonists?
4. Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely and Jamie Grant’s We3 immediately comes to mind when we see animals in cyber suits, was that iconic series on your mind at all while scripting and drawing the series?
5. Jesse, Hedra is one of my favorite comics of all time, the layout design is insanely impressive. How do you approach layout design, and more specifically, approach it with Man’s Best?
6. I freaking love the title, but I’m always curious, were there other titles you were workshopping?
7. We’d be remiss not to ask, do you have pets and if so, what are they and their names?!
8. Pornsak, you’ve said this is the most personal book you’ve written to date, could you elaborate?
9. If Man’s Best was a song, what would it be and why?
10. Do you have any projects in the works?
