Parker, Bob Quinn, and Griffin Sheridan - Kill Your DarlingsFOC is August 13 - Release Date: September 6, 2023Thanks for joining us on the AIPT Comics podcast. To start, Kill Your Darlings was described when first announced as Narnia meets Hereditary. Can you unpack that a bit for us?It’s safe to say this is a passion project for you guys, when did the bud of this story begin to take root?Bob, I simply love the crayon drawings the protagonist Rose makes, how do you approach drawing in a little kid style like that and making it feel genuine? Bob - do you draw in sequence, or do you take fantasy stuff first, then real world? Vice-versa?The main story takes place in the mid-90s, is there any significance to this being set then?Did any of you have imaginary friends growing up? If so, what were their names?The title is so great, but I gotta ask, did you have to kill any darlings as far as ideas or visuals while making this? Printed under the KLC Press label, can you talk a little bit about the label and how you’re connected with it?
