Bored Panda asked us a few questions. Scroll down to read the whole interview!

How did your journey as an artist start? Did you explore any other forms of art first?

We met at art school and there were no comic classes at all. So we were focusing on different art forms in the beginning. Elizabeth was illustrating a lot and Jonathan was filming short films and documentaries.

What’s the most challenging part of the creative process and which part do you enjoy the most?

That's really hard to answer as all the parts are fun but also painful. When you create art in any form, you have to be ready to face yourself in the most outright way. If you're looking for stories that can make people laugh, you may find sad stories as well. What we enjoy the most about the process as a duo is the moment when the other person cracks up from one of your ideas.

Where do you get inspiration, ideas and motivation for your works? Can you name some of the major influences in your life who've helped you develop and define your style?

We both love Peanuts! But we get inspiration from other art forms as well. We love going to the movies or reading books. Jonathan lately read several Kurt Vonnegut books and Elizabeth is enjoying the TV series Derry Girls.

Do you have any upcoming projects? If so, what are they?

Yes, we're working on an illustrated poem book! It's based on a story we once wrote called "A Job is a Job". Our readers were asking for a book version so we decided to create some more poems and fulfill their wishes. Stay tuned!

The people who decided to see if a stranger would let them throw a party in their homes if they just showed up and pretended they belonged.

Not at all funny using this dreaded condition in a “joke”, if that’s what it is supposed to be.🤔😥😠
