A couple creating comics together drop in to discuss sharing their personal stories with the world in their web comic "Background Noise"
John Hazard and Lisa Burdige had been discussing a collaboration on a comic project for years. They explored various complex story ideas, but none managed to hold their interest. One day, John created a simple two-panel comic and posted it on Facebook, where it received significant attention. Encouraged by the response, he created another comic the following day, with Lisa refining the text. By the third day, they were developing the comic together. The rest is history.
John and Lisa discuss their individual careers, the nature of collaborating with a partner, the vulnerability of displaying their life together in comics and how their neighbors cats became a part of the strip!
