I have to say, this episode was a blast to do. I've been a fan of “Enjoy The Show” on Tapas for some time now, so getting to talk with series creator Jenna Ashton is something I've been looking forward to for awhile. Here's the series synopsis for those not already reading.
Seeking a new (and independent) lease on life, Violet flees her sleepy hometown for the bright, flashing lights of Las Vegas! Hoping to find herself, she instead finds a part-time job full of quirky coworkers, cranky customers, and...romance?
Jenna and I dive into how the series came to be as well as the real-life inspiration she got working in a movie theater. She talks about the vast array of characters and which ones have counterparts from her life.
Jenna works with a team to make this comic what it is, but a solid share of the work is hers, so we look at how she balances the demands of the comic with the rest of her life. Recently, “Enjoy The Show” was relaunched and we talk about how it happened and the opportunity if provided for a new art style and animations.
