Is “My Magic Grandpa” going to have an overarching story? And if so, is it going to be one big story through the whole thing? Or will there be TV-style seasons with their own arcs?
A: My Magic Grandpa is set up with an overarching story and plot, but with individual ‘episodes’ that can work on their own, much like how Supernatural is formatted. There will be five seasons, each with a different overarching plot and all connecting and leading up to the final season. Each season contains 11 episodes, and an episode can have anywhere from 1-4 chapters that each consist of 24-30 pages. This comic is planned to last a really long time, so rest assured you won't have to worry about it coming to an end for a good while.

How Often Does MMG Update?
A: My Magic Grandpa updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! If a hiatus ever happens it will be announced so everyone knows what's going on.

Can you add in my OC?
A: Sorry, but no. I was thinking of adding a reward tier on MMG’s patreon for people to cameo but I realized it wouldn’t be a good idea if I’m planning to publish this comic. It’s just better for all of us if we don’t involve people I don’t personally know, there’s a lot of risk in drawing someone else’s character in a published work. However! I may add a tier where you can have your OC drawn with any of the MMG cast, which is better in a way since you’d get to choose what’s happening. (within reason, of course)

Will you be doing all the work yourself, or will you be planning on bringing in more people?
A:  Right now I have someone who will be putting in the flat colors for the comic, and I have a few friends that I brainstorm ideas with. But overall, this project is all mine and I want to be able to do as much of it on my own as possible, if I can help it. But if it turns out later down the line that I really need help, I’ll consider my options.

Are you expecting any sort of major roadblocks for MMG?
A:  The main issue is my financial situation. At the moment, it’s a bit unstable, so if a financial emergency hits, it hits hard. Another issue would be if my other projects don’t finish up as soon as I wanted them to, I really want my old tumblr ask blogs to reach a conclusion but I don’t want them to take up the time I need for My Magic Grandpa. If for any reason they don’t conclude, I’ll just have to make them side projects and it will take longer to end them. I’m trying my best to get them finished up, but I’ve known from experience that things can and will go wrong sometimes.

Further down the road would you self publish or seek a publisher?
A:  I plan to try to look in to being published in some way after the first season of My Magic Grandpa is completed, possibly with Hiveworks or through a kickstarter or some other way if I can find them. I have formatted the comic to be at proper comic print resolution so there shouldn't be any issues there. I will probably go back and fix some things first, though, like my word bubbles which weren't always consistent and weren't following proper publisher quality rules.

Is My Magic Grandpa LGBT inclusive?
A:  Absolutely! My Magic Grandpa is all about seeing past differences and learning to cope with and accept not only others, but oneself. Some serious topics will be addressed in the comic, it isn’t going to just be fun silly hijinks but a look in to what it means to be human. Sexuality, gender, and race are all things that are embraced in this story. As a member of the GSRM Community (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minorities) I have personal experience, being a pansexual transgender man.

Will My Magic Grandpa feature other cultures, classes, beliefs, and mental conditions?
A: I grew up in poverty and experience ADHD, PTSD, and Bi-Polar Type 1 (meaning I can experience long lasting psychotic episodes). I'm also white so I also know I have privelege and might not understand POC experiences in the same way they would. I won't write about what I don't understand, however, I make an effort to understand as much as I can so I do study the things listed in the question and talk to as many people as I can to learn about their personal experiences. I will try to be inclusive and inoffensive to the best of my ability, and I do want to explore various walks of life.

How dark is this story going to get?
A:  I know, I’m pretty notorious for dark storytelling, and those elements won’t be missing from this comic either. However, this is a story that is meant to show that there are ways out and that not everything is quite as terrible as it might seem. Human nature is a huge theme of the story, many of the creatures are representations of certain aspects of people. There will be topics addressed such as alcoholism, abuse, murder, cults, cattle mutilations… A good way to explain just how ‘far’, it will not go beyond what shows like Supernatural and Being Human get in to. I still want this to be aimed at young adults. 
Now, that aside, My Magic Grandpa still overall is a positive story, it just has dark elements in it. It is meant to be fun, even if things get crazy it will never lose the fun element to it. Starting out the series will be generally lighthearted and will only gradually become more serious as the main character gets older and has to deal with the things that come with being older.
The main thing I can say for absolute sure about this comic: It will pull at your heartstrings in all directions, even directions you might not have known they could have been pulled.


You’re all in for a hell of an adventure.
