But who exactly are these characters who make Peace, Love & Pierre a laugh-out-loud sensation? We decided to catch up with them for the inside scoop. Here’s what they had to tell us:

Pierre was clearly excited about the comic, but expressed surprise at his breakthrough role, saying, “I can’t believe I’m the headliner of a new feature. I’m pretty shy, so, unlike Norma Dee, I’m not used to the spotlight.”

When asked about his emotional support pet, Pierre said, “Abbot is an amazing friend. Life can be fast-paced and hard to navigate, but Abbot is always there for me with words of encouragement. Some of his advice goes over my head, but if I’ve learned anything from Abbot, it’s that laugher is the best medicine.” We tried to speak with Abbot, but we were told he was meditating and could not immediately be reached for comment.

We did connect with Norma Dee and she had a lot to say about her role in the comic strip, explaining, “Pierre may be the headliner of this little project, but I am the real star, dahling. Every feature needs a big name to put it on the map, and that’s what I do! It’s called star power, and I have it in spades. I’m no stranger to the press either. I’m a Hollywood legend after all. I’m starting work on a new memoir. Let me know if you’re interested in an exclusive.”

Jack and Goldie expressed excitement about the series but emphasized that Pierre, Abbot and Norma Dee steal the show. They did, however, insist that you are going to enjoy the 22 COMICS the strip’s creators have shared with you, right here, on Bored Panda.
