Anyone interesting in bringing back the Q&A?
Ask me a question in the comments, and I'll pick one or two and make a short video with the answers.

Do you have any canonical birthdays for any of your characters across your webcomics? I've always been curious what days Ethan and Lucas had been born on but I don't think it was ever stated! Or.. maybe I didn't look hard enough. :P
I'm curious about your process. How do you get the dialog and images to fit in a page, and then the right number of pages for an issue? How do you do all of that and generally land a joke on the last panel of each comic too? I assume there must be a lot of planning involved, but I'd love to know how you do it
The only question I'll ask is.... can we get a full office tour?
How do you go schedule the work on the next Omnibus? Is it more like "when you have time" or do you work more towards a soft deadline like every so many months/years?
How the heck did you manage to build and maintain your brand and business while beeing a father? To me it seems that at end of ones energy there is still plenty of day left...
What prompted shorts coming back? Is Sushi or Axe-Lot-L going to be an Easter Egg in the Future? Do you see a lighter full storyline happening in the future of the main comic? What lessons have you learned from outsourcing parts of Starcaster Chronicle? Has any of your children started taking an interest in the family business? Have you found that being self employed has prompted you to consider different education for your children more important? How do you budget for the less income consistency compared to a salary job? How's the office working out?
Have you ever thought about expanding out the different franchises you've created? IE: Starcaster.. have you thought about expanding the universe with different stories, backstory from other characters or prequels sequals? A bit like what Star Wars have done with Andor etc, but there seems to be a huge universe of story content there potentially!
